Every year, NASA releases data about the Global Temperature Index - a measurement of the change in global surface temperature in comparison to its historical long-term average. According to that data, 2016 was the hottest year on record, with an increase of 1.02°C in temperature.

If data for 2020 Global Temperature Index shows an increase of more than 1.02°C in global surface temperature, indicating it to be the hottest year on record, this question will be resolved as "YES".
