Scientific consensus that 2014 was record hottest year? No

Re: Satellites say no.

.... Actually 38% "certainity" is a really dubious statement. How about a 62% certainty that 2014 is NOT the hottest?

Not mentioned in this article is the fact that the NASA & NOAA claim are both based on surface temperature recording stations which cover less than 30% of the earth's surface -- actually MUCH less, since there are few, if any, termometers in large uninhabited regions. Then there is the problem of having to revise the raw data for those (most, actually) which are in Urban Heat Islands. And there are also siting and consistency problems.

Also not mentioned is the fact that satellite data shows that 2014 is NOT the "hottest" year, and that satellite data covers most of the earth (and the troposphere is an integral part of the AGW dubious hypothesis.

Climate change made sea levels fall in 2010 and 2011

Over the past 1.3 million years we've had 13 ice ages, so it's likely we will, sooner or later have another. As that next ice age begins, the sea level will drop (at least it's done that consistently in the past). We also know that there's been a global cooling over the past 10 years, and the Arctic ice extent has grown significantly during 2012, making up for all the ice loss since 2007.

So, why is a dropping sea level now due to human activity rather than merely Mother Nature (aka Climate Change) at work?
