| − | The drive-by media does this "hottest-year ever" hooey almost every year, although this year they seem to be laying it on especially thick. The most accurate available temperature record is UAH data based on satellite readings.[http://www.climatedepot.com/2014/12/03/no-record-temperatures-according-to-satellites/] By this standard, 2014 was only the seventh warmest year on record. (1998 was the warmest.) It will be months before the surface temperature record for 2014 is complete. NASA is just guesstimating at this point.
