Climate

Mean surface temperature anomalies for 2005 compared to average temperatures from 1951 to 1980 (source: NASA)

Based on estimates by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, 2005 was the warmest year since reliable wide-spread instrumental measurements became available in the late 1800s, beating the previous record set in 1998 by a few hundredths of a degree Celsius. Similar estimates prepared by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Kingdom's Climatic Research Unit concluded that 2005 was still only the second warmest year behind 1998 [1].
