Seems that NASA made a teeny little math error when computing temperature data for the last century or two. Seems that 1998, thought to be the warmest year on record, isn't. Seems that 1934 is, followed by several other years in the 30s... As a matter of fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years in the millenium were before WW2. The difference isn't huge, but significant. No one has yet been fired for this little scientific fuckup...

Is 'oops' a scientific term?

...northern hemisphere temperatures in the last two decades were way above those during Europe's Medieval Warm Period. In fact, they're way above anything in the last 650,000 years.
