Climate scientists with the University of Alabama, Huntsville reported Tuesday the temperature anomaly for December 2015 was 0.44 degrees Celsius above the 1981 to 2010 average, fueled by an El Nino warming event. UAH scientist Dr. Roy Spencer posted on his blog that this "makes 2015 the third warmest year globally (+0.27 deg C) in the satellite record (since 1979)."https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_satellite_weather.jpg
