The Warmest Year on Record? Prior to Global Warming

By Trenton Hansen

That’s right, the warmest year on record is 1934, according to an new analysis of the data from NASA. The Top Twenty Warmest Years in order are:

  1. 1934
  2. 1998
  3. 1921
  4. 2006
  5. 1931
  6. 1999
  7. 1953
  8. 1990
  9. 1938
  10. 1939
  11. 1954
  12. 1987
  13. 2001
  14. 1986
  15. 1946
  16. 1991
  17. 2005
  18. 1933
  19. 1981
  20. 1941

This casts still more doubt on the claims that the earth is growing gradually warmer due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere, since 1934 and four of the other Top Ten occurred prior to the 1940s when levels of atmospheric CO2 from industrial production began rising. Only four of the warmest ten years have occurred in the last ten years.
