What’s overheated are the “hottest year” claims

Andrew Bolt,Herald Sun (Australia)
"There’s a huge difference between “hottest year” and “equal warmest”, especially when the difference between 2010 temperatures and 1998, 12 years earlier, was not statistically significant. The WMO states that two-hundredths of a degree separated 2010, 2005 and 1998, and that means that these high points are rather well spread over the 12 years, so much so that you would think the temperature was nearly flat."
