Nine of the 10 warmest years on record since reliable data began in 1880 have occurred since 2005. 2018 was Earth’s 4th-warmest year on record, coming in behind 2016, the planet’s warmest recorded year, as well as 2015 and 2017, according to information released by NOAA, NASA and the U.K. Met Office.
