Newsweek’s Lengthy Attack on Climate Scientists Exposed by ClimateProgress.org

That would have meant gutting the sensationalistic headline and visuals they apparently believe they need to grab eyeballs for their ever-shrinking magazine.

Alert: The Rest of This Year Could Be Much Hotter
NCDC: “Based on preliminary data, the globally averaged combined land and sea surface temperature was the second warmest on record for June, and the January-June year-to-date tied with 2004 as the fifth warmest on record.” The ocean temperature was the warmest on record. In fact, it was a full 0.11°F warmer than the 2005 record. This is almost certainly the new El Niño on top of the long-term warming trend, and that means record temperatures are coming and this will be the hottest decade on record.
