NOAA records hottest day on Earth

(CNN) — As Paris Hilton once said so boldly, so profoundly – “That’s hot.”
The Earth is hotter than its ever been. At least, as far as we know.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – or NOAA- is reporting the average temperature on Earth monday was the warmest on record globally.
The average global air temperature six feet above the surface was 62-point-six-two degrees.

That’s roughly two degrees above the average temperature from 1970-2000.
researchers conclude the heat is due almost exclusively to human caused global warming. And they warn this is just the beginning.
