Well, before the week is out, we will know how October ranks, and that leaves only two months. If they are warm also, 2014 will be the warmest on record. In a neutral ENSO. In a year with a neutral ENSO, we surpassed the 1998 monster ENSO. Yet fools still insist that it is cooling. LOL
2014 on Track to Be Hottest Year on Record - Scientific American
Just days after NASA data showed that August 2014 was the warmest August on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed the ranking and raised the ante: There’s a good chance 2014 could become the warmest year on record.
“If we continue a consistent departure from average for the rest of 2014, we will edge out 2010 as the warmest year on record,” said Jake Crouch, a climatologist with NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center, during a press briefing Thursday.
Specifically, if each of the remaining months of the year ranks among the top five warmest, 2014 will take the top spot, he said.
