The chart was made using NOAA data from 982 stations aggregated by Dr. John R. Christy, a professor of atmospheric science and director of the earth system science center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Since virtually the beginning of 2015, federal agencies like NOAA and NASA were predicting the year would be the warmest on record due to a naturally occuring El Nino’s, which heat the Pacific Ocean up.

Claims 2015 is the warmest year on record ignore satellite data, which shows 2015 only ranks as the third-warmest year on record.
