They say the 3rd warmest in 129 years. I doubt the temperature readings are very reliable today, much less 129 years ago. I just don't know how they think they know this. It's MSNBC. Take it for what it's worth.

Scientists are quite clever in their means to determine past temperatures. From tree rings the isotopes of oxygen found in ancient shells.
