(FILES) This July 18, 2014 file photo shows children as they play in the water of a fountain on a hot summer day in Nice, southeastern France. Record-breaking temperatures scorched the planet last year, making 2014 the hottest in more than a century and raising new concerns about global warming, US government scientists said January 16, 2015. The much-anticipated report by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was confirmed by an independent analysis from the US space agency NASA that reached the same conclusion. "Record warmth was spread around the world," said the NOAA report. "The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for 2014 was the highest among all years since record keeping began in 1880." For the year, the average temperature was 1.24 degrees Fahrenheit (0.69 Celsius) above the 20th century average, beating the previous record-holding years of 2005 and 2010 by 0.07 F (0.04 C). Parts of the world that saw record heat included Russia, western Alaska, the western United States, parts of interior South America, parts of eastern and western coastal Australia, north Africa and most of Europe.
