NASA and NOAA have both confirmed now that April 2010 is the hottest April on record and January-April 2010 is the hottest January-April on record.
NASA just reported that this April was the hottest April on record. This followed the hottest March on record and the hottest January-February-March on record. So, is the hottest January-February-March-April on record a surprise? Only if you think climate change or global warming is a farce. Of course, how to explain this record-breaking first quarter of the year would be the big question in that case (especially since we are in the “deepest solar minimum in nearly a century“).
