oh look its pinocchio troll back to b.s about co2 after digging out from another snow storm and selling a greenhouse gas 2000 times more powerful than co2 for a living.
UK Met Office - 2014 NOT the hottest year ever
- Thread starter jem
- Start date
here is the bottom line the original post is correct.
2014 was in a statistical tie with other years.
Nothing these agw trolls can do or say can change that.
see the op below for reference.

The HadCRUT4 dataset (compiled by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit) shows last year was 0.56C (±0.1C) above the long-term (1961-1990) average. Nominally this ranks 2014 as the joint warmest year in the record, tied with 2010, but the uncertainty ranges mean it’s not possible to definitively say which of several recent years was the warmest.”
Quoting the temperature to one hundredth of a degree and the error on that measurement to a tenth of a degree is not normal scientific practice. It is against normal scientific practice to have an error of the measurement larger than the precision of that measurement. This means that most scientists would have rounded the data so that it was 0.6 +/- 0.1 °C. If this is done to the HadCRUT4 dataset it is even more obvious that there has been a warming “pause” for the past 18 years.Warm Pacific
Looking in detail at why 2014 was a warm year shows that it was down to unusually warm temperatures for a few months in the northeast Pacific. It is also obvious that had December not been such a warm month 2014 would have been much cooler. The Met Office says in its press release:
“Phil Jones, of the University of East Anglia, said: 2014 was an exceptionally warm year which saw warm tropical pacific temperatures, despite not being officially regarded as an El Niño.”

Still waiting for the denialists to explain how a 40% in earth's most important greenhouse gas would NOT result in warming.
Burden of proof is on them.

Met Office does state - "2014 adds to the set of near-record temperatures we have seen over the last two decades."
UK Met Office does not state - "2014 NOT the hottest year ever"
you're right!
