2014 was not the hottest year on record

 Many “climate scientists” have been making the claim that 2014 was the hottest year on record, and they have been using this to claim that something needed to be done shortly in order to save the world from global warming.

  What seems to have fueled this hysteria was this August report by Climate Central which claimed that if the trend continued 2014 would be the hottest year on record.

  But for all of the hype it turns out that 2014 was not the hottest year on record after all, but it seems as if the “climate scientists” are not interested in this report which was released by Earth System Science Center.

  Here is what they found when looking at weather satellites:

2014 was the third warmest year in the 36-year global satellite temperature record, but by such a small margin (0.01 C) as to be statistically similar to other recent years, according to Dr. John Christy, a professor of atmospheric science and director of the Earth System Science Center at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. “2014 was warm, but not special. The 0.01 C difference between 2014 and 2005, or the 0.02 difference with 2013 are not statistically different from zero. That might not be a very satisfying conclusion, but it is at least accurate.”

  And here is more:

The 2014 average temperature anomaly is also in keeping with temperatures since late 2001, when the global average temperature rose to a level that is generally warmer than the 30-year baseline average. The most recent 13 complete calendar years, from 2002 through 2014, have averaged 0.18 C (about 0.33 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the 30-year baseline average, while the global temperature trend during that span was a warming trend at the rate of +0.05 C per decade — which is also statistically insignificant.

   So it turns out that 2014 was the third hottest year on record but the difference is so marginal that it is “not statistically different from zero” and the increase in temperature is “statistically insignificant” from 2002.

  This tells me that despite the hysteria from the global warming alarmists there has been no global warming since 2002. Yet the propaganda continues, the EPA is moving forward with defacto cap and trade regulations, and this science report is ignored. I wonder why…
