The Warming Earth - 2014 - Warmest Year in Modern Record

The year 2014 ranked as Earth’s warmest since records began in 1880 - until it was beaten by 2015.


9 of the 10 warmest years in the instrumental record have now occurred since the year 2000.



The exception was 1998, which was affected by a very strong El Nino event.

That means nobody born since 1976 has experienced a colder-than-average year.

2014 was not even affected by an El Nino, which has been the case for previous record years.
