Where 2014 would rank if global temperature reverted to the 1979-2013 trend
Given that 2014 is nearly over (~3 weeks to go), we're going to be hearing even more about the possibility that 2014 will be the warmest year in the instrumental record. I myself made the pile higher and deeper with my last post . That raised a question in my mind: Where should global temperature be in 2014 according to the warming trend since 1979 (the first full year of the satellite record)?
