ASHINGTON -- Global surface temperatures in 2010 tied 2005 as the 
warmest on record, according to an analysis released Wednesday by 
researchers at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New 
York.

The two years differed by less than 0.018 degrees Fahrenheit. The 
difference is smaller than the uncertainty in comparing the temperatures 
of recent years, putting them into a statistical tie. In the new 
analysis, the next warmest years are 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 
2009, which are statistically tied for third warmest year. The GISS 
records begin in 1880.

The analysis found 2010 approximately 1.13 F warmer than the average 
global surface temperature from 1951 to 1980. To measure climate change, 
scientists look at long-term trends. The temperature trend, including 
data from 2010, shows the climate has warmed by approximately 0.36 F per 
decade since the late 1970s.

"If the warming trend continues, as is expected, if greenhouse gases 
continue to increase, the 2010 record will not stand for long," said 
James Hansen, the director of GISS.
