Report: '00s were globe's warmest decade on record
Report: '00s were globe's warmest decade on record

By Doyle Rice, USA TODAY
The decade of 2000-09 was the Earth's warmest on record, according to data released last week by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in Asheville, N.C.
The climate center reported that the decade's average global surface temperature was almost 1 degree above the 20th-century average. This shattered the 1990s reading, which was 0.65°F above average.
The global average is based on readings from more than 7,200 ground weather stations around the world and from ships and buoys at sea. Global weather data go back to 1880.
The NCDC reports two sustained periods of warming have been recorded in the past 130 years, one that occurred from around 1910-1945, and the most recent worldwide warming trend, which began around 1976.
"Temperatures during the latter period of warming have increased at a rate comparable to the rates of warming projected to occur during the next century, with continued increases of anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gases," noted climatologist Ahira Sanchez-Lugo in an online report.

2009 continued a trend of anomalously warm years. The years 2001 through 2008 each rank among the 10 warmest years of the 130-year (1880-2009) record, and 2009 was no exception. The climate center found that 2009 tied with 2006 as the fifth-warmest since records began in 1880.
Almost all of the Earth's land areas were warmer-than-average in 2009. Parts of Australia and New Zealand endured record-breaking warmth in January, February and August.
The only exceptions to the unusual warmth were in central Asia and interior sections of North America, including the U.S. Midwest, which experienced much cooler-than-normal temperatures.
Global precipitation in 2009 was near the long-term average, reported the climate center.
