This is the largest margin by which
an annual global land surface temperature has been broken.

This led to small errors in the reported
land surface temperatures in the October, November, December and
Annual U.S. and
global climate reports.
«The
global annual temperature for combined
land and ocean
surfaces for 2007 is expected to be near 58.0 °F and would be the fifth warmest since records began in 1880.
Overall, ecosystem - driven changes in chemistry induced climate feedbacks that increased
global mean
annual land surface temperatures by 1.4 and 2.7 K for the 2 × and 4 × CO2 Eocene simulations, respectively, and 2.2 K for the Cretaceous (Fig. 3 E and F).
However, the CRU
global mean combined
land air / sea
surface temperature estimates for Jan - Aug 2005 lag behind the 1998
annual mean estimate by 0.08 C (0.50 C vs. 58C for 1998) while GISS indicates a lag of 0.02 C.
By comparing modelled and observed changes in such indices, which include the
global mean
surface temperature, the
land - ocean
temperature contrast, the
temperature contrast between the NH and SH, the mean magnitude of the
annual cycle in
temperature over
land and the mean meridional
temperature gradient in the NH mid-latitudes, Braganza et al. (2004) estimate that anthropogenic forcing accounts for almost all of the warming observed between 1946 and 1995 whereas warming between 1896 and 1945 is explained by a combination of anthropogenic and natural forcing and internal variability.
The
annual anomaly of the
global average
surface temperature in 2014 (i.e. the average of the near -
surface air
temperature over
land and the SST) was +0.27 °C above the 1981 - 2010 average (+0.63 °C above the 20th century average), and was the warmest since 1891.
The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has maintained
global average monthly and
annual records of combined
land and ocean
surface temperatures for more than 130 years.
As noted in my earlier reply, the
annual variations in monthly
global land surface temperatures are 4 times higher than those of TLT.
