2016 was the warmest year since humans began keeping records, by a wide margin. Global average temperatures were extremely hot in the first few months of the year, pushed up by a large El Niño event. Global surface temperatures dropped in the second half of 2016, yet still show a continuation of global warming.

This is the third record-breaking year in a row.

Berkeley Earth's work has been published in Science Advances (DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1601207) (DX)

Also at NASA (Javascript required) and the Washington Post.
