WASHINGTON (AP) The globe is on a hot streak, setting a heat record in June. That's after the world broke a record in May.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Monday that last month's average global temperature was 61.2 degrees, which is 1.3 degrees higher than the 20th century average. It beat 2010's old record by one-twentieth of a degree.
While one-twentieth of a degree doesn't sound like much, in temperature records it's like winning a horse race by several lengths, said NOAA climate monitoring chief Derek Arndt.
And that's only part of it. The world's oceans not only broke a monthly heat record at 62.7 degrees, but it was the hottest the oceans have been on record no matter what the month, Arndt said.
"We are living in the steroid era of the climate system," Arndt said.
The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for June 2014 was the highest on record for the month, at 0.72°C (1.30°F) above the 20th century average of 15.5°C (59.9°F).
The global land surface temperature was 0.95°C (1.71°F) above the 20th century average of 13.3°C (55.9°F), the seventh highest for June on record.
For the ocean, the June global sea surface temperature was 0.64°C (1.15°F) above the 20th century average of 16.4°C (61.5°F), the highest for June on record and the highest departure from average for any month.
The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for the January–June period (year-to-date) was 0.67°C (1.21°F) above the 20th century average of 13.5°C (56.3°F), tying with 2002 as the third warmest such period on record.

I am not impressed with us threatening 2005 and 2010. Should be blowing it away! But this isn't a sign of cooling.
Yet we're still 3rd hottest for the year. It hasn't warmed from at least 2005.

One thing pops out at me...The fact that we're fighting to better years over a decade ago. Not much of a warming.
Just my two cents.

Another AGW cult thread based on faulty numbers..
How sad that the AGW cult has so much control over things and will suppresses real science.

Show me your dataset. You have none of course and you're accusing me of attacking real science? I kind of did attack the notion that it is warming rapidly.
Maybe you can post your research paper from off of a academic resource?Global HighlightsThe combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for June 2014 was the highest on record for the month, at 0.72°C (1.30°F) above the 20th century average of 15.5°C (59.9°F).

- Satellite temperatures showed it wasnt even close to hottest. NOAA failed to mention this in their press release, even though they are obviously aware of it.
- The amount of sea ice on Earth in June was the highest in decades
- Parts of Antarctica had their coldest June on record
- The Arctic north of 80N was below normal temperature every day in June, and was first or second coldest on record.
The claim is a lie. noaa is a fraud. When the climate doesn't cooperate with the hypothesis, the data must be beaten into submission to protect the hypothesis.
I don't take the word of a redneck with no real education within the field
