Global Oceans Break All-Time Heat Record; World on Pace for Warmest Year Ever

The Earthās oceans have never been this far beyond the bounds of normal. New data released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed that Earthās oceans reached a level last month not seen since humans have been keeping comprehensive records. Global ocean temperatures in August 2014 warmed to āthe largest departure from average for any month on recordā according to a NOAA statement. The previous record was set just two months ago, in June 2014. Records date back to 1880, though thereās ample evidence that the new record hasnāt been matched in much longer than that. The NOAA data also showed the temperature of the Earth as a whole hit a new all-time August record last month, confirming similar results earlier this week from NASA and the Japanese Meteorological Agency, which use slightly different ways of crunching the numbers.
Additionally, the combined temperature of June, July, and August was also unprecedented in historical records. According to the JMA, four of the last five months have now been record-breaking for that particular month. (July was No. 2, just a hair behind the super-charged El NiƱo year of 1998.) The eastern United States is among the only land areas on Earth still running below normal for 2014, a legacy of the polar vortex outbreaks of earlier this year. Later Thursday morning, NOAA expanded on the implications of the new records in a conference call, saying that on its current paceāand with the help of a newly resurgent El NiƱoā2014 is poised to become the warmest year ever measured. āIf the next four months rank among the five warmest on record, 2014 will be the warmest on record for the globe,ā said Jake Crouch of the National Climatic Data Center. The warming effect of El NiƱo, which boosts temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean, appears to have begun finally kicking into gear over the last week or so. In a separate announcement Thursday, the International Research Institute for Climate and Society declared that āborderline El NiƱo conditions have now returned in both ocean and atmosphere.ā The El NiƱo is expected to persist until at least March 2015, affecting a range of weather patterns around the globe over the coming months. Should 2014 become the new warmest year, a lingering El NiƱo means the record may not last long.

Man, that's ******* hilarious! Keep it up, I can always use a good laugh.
Quick, let's cripple our economy, parts of the ocean are warmer than they were 30 years ago.
