\"Hottest<\/a><\/h2>\n

Almost every month this year is setting a new record as the hottest, according to the NOAA.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[social_buttons]<\/p>\n

Yes, it wasn’t long ago I was writing about April\u00a0being the hottest April and Jan-April being the hottest Jan-April<\/a> on record. Now, the NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center<\/a> has published its next monthly \u201cState of the Climate Report\u201d and we are seeing more records along these lines.<\/p>\n

“The combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the warmest on record for May, March-May (Northern Hemisphere spring-Southern Hemisphere autumn), and the period January-May.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the locations where warming is occurring the most is exactly where climate scientists have predicted — in the high northern latitudes.<\/p>\n

And, this is all despite other heating influences currently being weak.<\/p>\n

“And it bears repeating, the record temperatures we\u2019re seeing now are especially impressive because we\u2019ve been in ‘the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century.’ It\u2019s just hard to stop the march of manmade global warming, well, other than by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, that is,” Joe Romm of Climate Progress reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arctic Sea Ice Also Breaking Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In addition to the heat records, Arctic sea ice also continues to break records for being at its lowest extent, according to both the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency<\/a> (JAXA) and National Snow and Ice Data Center<\/a> (NSIDC).<\/p>\n

Expect things to change soon? I doubt it.<\/p>\n
