March Was Warmest Land Temperature Ever Recorded

reposted | 27.04.2008 05:28 | Ecology

Last month was the warmest global land temperature for March ever recorded but la Nina in the Equatorial Pacific kept the global temps. down to second warmest.

"The global surface (land and ocean surface) temperature was the second warmest on record for March in the 129-year record...".

What this means is that if la Nina was not in effect, the past month's global temperature would have broken the global average temperature by a mile or two.
