NOAA reports that May, the period from March to May, and from January to May all have had the hottest combined global land and ocean surface temperatures since records began in 1880. May’s combined global land and ocean surface temperature was 0.69°C above the 20th century average of 14.8°C, with land temps being 1.04°C above the average. Ocean temperatures were the second warmest on record, coming in behind the 1998 record, with global ocean temps being 0.55°C above the average for the past century of 16.3°C.

How is it that every successive year is "the hottest on record." Shouldn't it be like a thousand degrees on average by now?
I'm not sure where you are getting that from. 2008 and 2009 were cooler than 2007.
First half of 2006 is hottest on record. http://thinkprogress.org/2006/07/19/first-half-of-2006-is-hottest-on-record/ 2007: Hottest Year on Record So Far http://climateprogress.org/2007/05/18/2007-hottest-year-on-record-so-far/ NOAA says October 2008 hottest on record http://www.thorntonweather.com/blog/climate-change/noaa-says-october-hottest-on-record-%E2%80%93-oops-%E2%80%93-maybe-not/ August 2009 was hottest on record: experts http://news.brisbanetimes.com.au/breaking-news-national/august-was-hottest-on-record-experts-20090901-f63n.html May 2010: Earth’s Hottest on Record http://blogs.kxan.com/2010/06/22/may-2010-earths-hottest-on-record/
I'm not sure what you are arguing here, the list you posted says that 2007 is the hottest year on record, the rest talk about specific months. Again, as I told you earlier, 2007 was indeed the hottest until 2010 while 2008 and 2009 were cooler. Do you want to actually try and refute that, or just keep raising straw men?
That's just it; every year is supposed to be the hottest on record in some kind of way. And it's believable that 2010 is the hottest on record?

Meanwhile, the glaciers melt and sea level rises.
Another IPCC Scandal - Sea levels NOT rising According to expert reviewer for the IPCC 26 Feb 10 - Dr Nils-Axel Mörner, geologist, physicist, and one-time expert reviewer for the IPCC, announced this week that, contrary to IPCC claims, sea levels are not rising. "Sea level is not changing in any way, " said Dr Mörner in an hour-long interview with Kim Greenhouse of "It's Rainmaking Time." Dr. Mörner, who received his PhD in geology in 1969, is one of the greatest - if not the greatest - experts on sea levels in the world today. He has worked with sea level problems for 40 years in areas scattered all over the globe There is no change, says Mörner. There is absolutely no sea-level rise in Tuvalo, there is no change here, and there is zero sea-level rise in Bangladesh. If anything, sea levels have lowered in Bangladesh. We do not need to fear sea-level rise, says Mörner. "(However), we should have a fear of those people who fooled us."
Who? I guess everybody else is wrong then. BTW, where do you think all that glacier melt is going?

Our glaciers are growing, not melting More falsehoods from Al Gore Written by Robert Felix, Ice Age Now | 10 March 2010 "Almost all of the ice-covered regions of the Earth are melting — and seas are rising," said Al Gore in an op-ed piece in the New York Times on February 27. Both parts of Gore's statement are false. Never mind that Mr. Gore makes only passing reference to the IPCC's fraudulent claims that the Himalayan glaciers will all melt by 2035. ("A flawed overestimate," he explains.) Never mind that Mr. Gore dismisses the IPCC's fraudulent claims that the oceans are rising precipitously. ("Partly inaccurate," he huffs.) Never mind that Mr. Gore completely ignores the admission by the CRU's disgraced former director Phil Jones that global temperatures have essentially remained unchanged for the past 15 years. I'll let someone else dissect Gore's lawyering comments, and concentrate on just the one sentence about melting ice, because neither part of that sentence is true. Contrary to Gore's assertions, almost all of the ice-covered regions of the Earth are growing, not melting — and the seas are not rising. Let's look at the facts. If you click on the words "are melting" in Gore's article, you're taken to a paper by Michael Zemp at the University of Zurich. Mr. Zemp begins his paper by warning that "glaciers around the globe continue to melt at high rates." However, if you bother to actually read the paper, you learn that Zemp's conclusion is based on measurements of "more than 80 glaciers." Considering that the Himalayas boast more than 15,000 glaciers, a study of "more than 80 glaciers" hardly seems sufficient to warrant such a catastrophic pronouncement. Especially when you learn that of those 80 glaciers, several are growing. Growing. Not melting. "In Norway, many maritime glaciers were able to gain mass," Zemp concedes. ("Able to gain mass" means growing.) In North America, Zemp also concedes, "some positive values were reported from the North Cascade Mountains and the Juneau Ice Field." ("Displaying positive values" means growing.) Remember, we're still coming out of the last ice age. Ice is supposed to melt as we come out of an ice age. The ice has been melting for 11,000 years. Why should today be any different? I'm guessing that most Canadians and Northern Europeans are very happy that the ice has been melting. Unfortunately, that millenniums-long melting trend now appears to be changing. No matter how assiduously Mr. Gore tries to ignore it, almost all of the ice-covered regions of the Earth are now gaining mass. (Or, displaying positive values, if you will.) For starters, let's look at those Himalayan glaciers. In a great article, entitled "World misled over Himalayan glacier meltdown," Jonathan Leake and Chris Hastings show that the IPCC's fraudulent claims were based on "speculation" and "not supported by any formal research." As a matter of fact, many Himalayan glaciers are growing. In a defiant act of political incorrectness, some 230 glaciers in the western Himalayas - including Mount Everest, K2 and Nanga Parbat - are actually growing.
