If you live in the eastern half of the North American continent you may be convinced that the planet is actually cooling instead of warming, even though 2014 was officially the warmest year ever recorded on Earth. If you live on the east coast of the US, would you believe that January 2015 was the warmest January ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere? It was.
Those that have come to the conclusion that the whole planet is cooling should carefully examine the map image below. This is a GISS “departure from normal temperature” map for the entire 2014 year. What does this map reveal? The darker the colors, the further above normal the average temperatures were for the 2014 year. The light colors reflect departures from average to the below normal side.
