In my area it wasn't. Only reached 90 degrees 1 time all year with a high of 90.0 on September 5th. Usually have a lot of days above 90. July and August are usually killer hot, but weren't in 2014 here.

Pretty much all of the US was unusually cold last year. Europe was unusually hot. I blame the French.

Last year January-March was, but not for the rest of the year. November and December weren't cold at all.

I'm not discounting anything in either article, and I'm sure there's a chance both are correct, but parts of these articles seem to contradict themselves.

I just read it the other day, coming away with the understanding the scientists were in agreement we were clearly in a "warming pause." I guess the most surprising point in the article in the OP was the "10 hottest years on record" with the exception of 1998 being since 2000. Considering the other article clearly states we are cooling at the moment due to volcanic activity, I found it odd this one was still saying that about the 10 hottest years on record also coming over that period of time. At first I thought I'd see a gradual decline in the graph from 1998 in the article from the OP, but it just continues the same, upward trend most show.

It wasn't hot enough here this summer so I had a wood burning fireplace installed in the bed of my F350 so I can pollute while I'm polluting. Plus, with gas so cheap now I can just leave it idling in the driveway when I'm at home. /score

If the average temp goes up .07F every year, it will take 14.285714 years to go up 1 degree F. May not seem like much, but the global warming people would say it is significant, and it is. But it won't go up every year or that much the years it does go up.
