Just to set the record straight, in response to the lies posted by the denier cult loons, here's the facts.
NOAA - Global Analysis - November 2013
The average temperature across global land and ocean surfaces during November 2013 was record highest for November in the 134-year period of record, at 0.78°C (1.40°F) above the 20th century average. This is also the sixth highest monthly departure from average among all months on record and the highest since March 2010, one of the last months in which El Niño conditions were present in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific Ocean. During November, warmer-than-average temperatures across most of the world's ocean surfaces contributed to the anomalous warmth. Even with ENSO-neutral conditions holding for the 19th straight month, the November global ocean temperature tied with 2009 as the third highest for November, at 0.54°C (0.97°F) above the 20th century average. Regionally, the Northern and Southern Hemisphere oceans above 20° latitude (outside the tropics) both tied as second warmest, at 0.64°C (1.15°F) and 0.53°C (0.95°F) above their long-term averages, respectively.
Most of the world's land areas experienced warmer-than-average monthly temperatures, including much of Eurasia, coastal Africa, Central America, and central South America. Much of southern Russia, north west Kazakhstan, south India, and southern Madagascar were record warm. Meanwhile, northern Australia, parts of North America, south west Greenland, and parts of the Southern Ocean near South America were cooler than average. No regions of the globe were record cold. Overall, the globally-averaged temperature over land surfaces was the second highest for November in the 134-year period of record, at 1.43°C (2.57°F) above the 20th century average.
September–November (Northern Hemisphere fall / Southern Hemisphere spring) was the second warmest such period across global land and ocean surfaces since records began in 1880, behind only 2005, at 0.68°C (1.22°F) above the 20th century average. The Northern Hemisphere was also second warmest, while the Southern Hemisphere was fourth warmest for the period.
