Don't think so Salty as those years are in the top ten for heat.

Most dishonest of you, selecting the wrong link. The report was released in Geneva, Switzerland on 24 March 2014. I will accept that you simply made a mistake. I double checked and the link I gave below is in my post.
The date on that report is 12/10/2010.Crabtownboy said:http://voices.washingtonpost.com/pos...year_on_r.html
Note that 13 of the 14 hottest years on record are in this century.
I see about three interesting pieces in this snippet:
1) warmest decade on record....when were records first kept? Late 1800s, or about 125 years ago?
How old is the earth? Anywhere from 6,000 to 200,000,000,000 years old (depending on who you ask). Seems like an awful small amount of data to draw such dramatic conclusions of doomsday.
2) 2013 temp was a whole 1 degree warmer than it was 25 to 55 years ago.
3) 2013 was a whole 1/20th of a degree warmer than the average over the last decade.
Where I am (in K.C.) the temperature swings 110 degrees from winter to summer. Winter lows down to -5 consistently, and summer highs up to 105 consistently. It's hard to get excited over 1 degree

If 2005 & 2010 was - say an average of 91
and 2006 was 90 - it would still be considered cooling - even if it was in the top 10.

I'd say that is unlikely. Looking back the last two to three decades the trends is upward. ...
Up or down from the previous year and trying to say that has meaning over the long run is false logic. Sure there will be ups and downs from the previous year, but long term the trend is up.
Crabby,
I have a request.
do you have a link that gives the actual world average temperatures for this century? I'm not talking about the .1 or .2 increase/decrease - but the actual thermometer averages?
I think that would help answer some questions.
I've looked, and cannot find a chart of actual temperatures. Somebody, somewhere, has to have one.
Otherwise, all these anomaly charts wouldn't be available. I suspect there is one reason:
The anomaly charts look more horrific.
Think about it - if there was a chart showing the actual temperatures, rated in whole degrees, it would almost be a flat line across, with a flux of +/- 1 degree
But when the anomaly charts are used, they can make a half degree look enormous.
The chart provided is also showing an anomaly in Celsius. If we think of "0" as 70 degrees Fahrenheit, that would be 21.111 Celsius. So add the anomaly and convert to Fahrenheit:
1880 - 69.82 degrees
1890 - 69.64 degrees
1900 - 69.01 degrees
1910 - 69.01 degrees
1920 - 69.64 degrees
1930 - 69.82 degrees
1940 - 70.18 degrees
1950 - 69.82 degrees
1960 - 70.0 degrees
1970 - 70.0 degrees
1980 - 70.18 degrees
1990 - 70.36 degrees
2000 - 70.54 degrees
200? - 70.72 degrees
Oh my goodness ! ! ! !
the year 200? (the last year on this chart) was an entire .9 degree warmer than the year 1880.
Whew ! !
It's gettin' hot up in here, now.
But that anomaly chart looks MUCH more drastic than the reality.
Good grief
It would seem what many do not understand is that what looks like a small rise has very big effects on the planet.
