Peter H. Gleick: 2010 Hottest Year on Record: The Graph That Should Be on the Front Page of Every Newspaper

By / 15 January 2011

Climate change is worsening, fast. The National Climate Data Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has just announced that for the entire planet, 2010 is the hottest year on record, tied with 2005.

And the period 2001 to 2010 is the hottest decade on record for the globe. The actual data are here.This graph and this information should be on the front page of every newspaper in the world. Every Congressional representative should see it.And the hottest 10 years on record in order?

How often do you have to get hit on the head before you say “ouch.” Or before you even say “stop hitting me on the head”? For climate deniers, probably forever. We can expect them to talk about how cold the winter is, here or there.But for the rest of us, enough should be enough. The planet has a fever and its getting worse.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
