The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has announced that 2010 tied 2005 for the hottest year on record and broke the record for wettest year. This news comes on the heels of last week’s announcement by the National Snow and Ice Data Center that Arctic ice coverage for December 2010 was the lowest for any December since satellite records began in 1979.
As National Wildlife Federation global warming scientist Dr. Amanda Staudt points out, the two records are more than coincidental: “Not surprisingly, the year which tied for the hottest year on record concluded with the lowest sea ice extent ever measured for December.”
