NASA: September 2014 Warmest on Record
Continued warming trend puts world on track for warmest year ever
Oct 14, 2014
September 2014 was the warmest September since records began in 1880, new data from NASA shows.
May and August were also record-breaking warm months, according to NASA.
Further, the last six months were the warmest such time period on record.
The current trends could put 2014 on track to be the warmest year on record.
NASA and the NOAA's National Climatic Data Center have noted that 9 of the 10 warmest years have happened since 2000.
Last month, just ahead of the historic People's Climate March, the World Meteorological Organization stated that atmospheric levels of CO2 are at record levels and reiterated that "we are running out of time" to act on the climate crisis.
Why Your Ongoing Support Is Essential
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
