2015 was the warmest year on record January 20, 2016 3:39 pm ER

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/20/us/noaa-2015-warmest-year/

Much like sports writers who start their preseason predictions immediately following the final buzzer of the previous season’s championship, many climate scientists and weather forecasters are already saying 2016 could push the chart-topping temperature climb even higher, with El NiƱo lingering into spring and the continued influence from man-made climate change.

The odds would certainly favor that, as 15 of the top 16 warmest years have occurred since 2000 (1998 being the lone pre-21st century year on the list). The last time we had a year become the coldest on record was 1911.
