Yup, the warmest decade in the last thousand years.
And this year will be the warmest year.

Great article!
Except for one minor detail.... the temperature of the globe is NOT flat. It is continuing to rise without pause. In fact, it's accelerating. But it's the kind of of pro-polluting corporate business and science-ignorant article that one would expect to find in Forbes.
There is no question at all about it. It is an indisputable fact. The world is getting hotter every year, and it has not stopped or slowed down. At all. If anything it is getting hotter even faster.
All the stupid images from morons like gwb does not change that fact.
Now if someone is ignorant enough to require proof I would be happy to show them how ignorant they are. GWB? Want proof of how ignorant you are?

Have you done your homework yet and downloaded the HadCRUT data and graphed it? Are you incapable of independent thinking? Are you just a retarded parrot squawking to global warming alarmist mantra?

Causes of Calif. drought natural, not man-made: NOAA
http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2014/12/08/california-drought-cause-noaa/20095869/
Natural weather patterns, not man-made global warming, are causing the historic drought parching California, says a study out Monday from federal scientists.
"It's important to note that California's drought, while extreme, is not an uncommon occurrence for the state," said Richard Seager, the report's lead author and professor with Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. The report was sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The report did not appear in a peer-reviewed journal but was reviewed by other NOAA scientists.
"In fact, multiyear droughts appear regularly in the state's climate record, and it's a safe bet that a similar event will happen again," he said.
The persistent weather pattern over the past several years has featured a warm, dry ridge of high pressure over the eastern north Pacific Ocean and western North America. Such high-pressure ridges prevent clouds from forming and precipitation from falling.
The study notes that this ridge — which has resulted in decreased rain and snowfall since 2011 — is almost opposite to what computer models predict would result from human-caused climate change.
The NOAA report says midwinter precipitation is projected to increase because of human-caused climate change over most of the state. Seager said a low-pressure system, not a high-pressure system, would probably form off the California coast because of climate change.
Low pressure creates clouds and precipitation.

Some outside climate scientists criticized the report, saying it didn't take into effect how record warmth worsened the drought.

West's water worries rise as Lake Mead falls
"The authors of the new report would really have us believe that is merely a coincidence and has nothing to do with the impact of human-caused climate change?" Penn State meteorologist Michael Mann wrote Monday in The Huffington Post. "Frankly, I don't find that even remotely plausible."
Mann said the NOAA report focuses primarily on the lack of precipitation, not the unusually high temperatures measured in the oceans as well as across California.
"This study completely fails to consider what climate change is doing to water in California," wrote Kevin Trenberth, head of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. He said the work "completely misses" how hotter air increases drying by evaporating more of it from the ground.
This year, California is having its warmest year in 120 years of weather records, the National Climatic Data Center reported Monday.
Peer-reviewed studies are divided on whether the drought can be blamed on climate change.

Michael "Hide the Decline" Mann - the hockey stick guy? He is completely discredited. And has a track record of faking data. Remember the East Anglia emails? Nothing Mann says has any relevance.
