It was December 1984, and President Reagan had just been elected to his second term, Dynasty was the top show on TV and Madonna's Like a Virgin topped the musical charts.
It was also the last time the Earth had a cooler-than-average month.
Last month marked the planet's 400th consecutive month with above-average temperatures, federal scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday.
[...] "We live in and share a world that is unequivocally, appreciably and consequentially warmer than just a few decades ago, and our world continues to warm," said NOAA climate scientist Deke Arndt. "Speeding by a '400' sign only underscores that, but it does not prove anything new."

That's an easy one: Courtesy of the administration's tireless efforts, that noaa.gov link is a few months away from being replaced by a fixed page showing Pleasantville forecast.

Thank you, working hard! National Weather Service, they have so many forecasters. Hundreds of them. But most folks watch the TV forecast. The TV always has a sexy lady or a good-looking guy. We did the biggest Tax Cut in history, we have to cut the budget. Obviously we have to cut it. So I said, cut the National Weather Service, let's tell those forecasters "you're fired." And the ones that look VERY NICE can go on TV. Big savings!!
