global-warmingLast year was one of the 10 warmest years on record, researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday. While the past 150 years have seen average temperatures rise 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, 9 of the 10 hottest years on record have been since the 1990s-with 2012 ranking somewhere around 8 or 9.

Arctic sea ice reached record lows during the summer, while 97 percent of all of Greenland ice melted in the winter-far more than average.
