And quoting "Earth temperature" to 8 significant figures!

In fairness to them I think that the earth's mean temp is rising so slowly that they had to go to that many sig figs in order for people to see the increase in real time. Would have looked kinda crap if all it said was 14.1 for the next 5 years.
