The results are in - 'the hottest year on record'

For those of us fixated on whether 2014 will be the hottest year on record, the results are in.

At least, we know enough that we can make the call. According the global data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), 2014 will be the hottest year ever recorded.

A story on The Guardian headed: “2014 will be the hottest year on record” has made this prediction.

“The climate and weather models predict that the next week will be about 0.75°C above average. This means, December will come in around 0.6°C above average. Are these daily values accurate? Well the last two months they have been within 0.05°C of the final official results,” The Guardian reports.
