BySustainMe

It’s Official: 2014 Was the Hottest Year on Record: This is a very cool — oops, hot, I mean — visual of the earth temperatures over recent decades.

Only a few monthly numbers are higher now then in 1995 and almost no monthly numbers are higher than the 20th century average. 2014 was unusual as a hot year because…
