The heat is on like never before. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Friday that 2014 was the hottest year since record-keeping began in 1880. “The globe is warmer now than it has been in the last 100 years and more likely in at least 5,000 years,” said Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis. It’s the third time in a decade that the Earth’s temperature has broken previous records, a trend scientists predict will continue as the planet warms.
