2010 = Hottest Meteorological Year on Record
As Science writes, “The 2010 meteorological year, which ended on 30 November, was the warmest in NASA’s 130-year record.”
Of course, we covered this story throughout the year, which saw the hottest March, April, May, June, August (in some records), September (in some records), and November on record, as well as the hottest temperature in a single location.
We are yet to find out if 2010 was the hottest calendar year on record (or ‘only’ in the top 3).

If you couldn't guess, I spend most of my time on CleanTechnica and Planetsave. I'm the director/editor of both sites and am a little obsessed with them and the topics they cover. I'm also Publishing Services Manager at Important Media, which means that I do everything I can to support other Important Media writers, editors, and directors (as well as the network as a whole) in the good work they are engaged in. You can also find my work on Scientific American, Reuters, Change.org, most of the sites in the Important Media network, & many other places. For more, or to connect, go to: zacharyshahan.com
