A new look at NASA satellite data says the earth has set a new record for lowest temperature recorded.
It happened in August 2010 when it hit minus 94.7C.
Then on July 31 of this year, it came close again: minus 92.9C.
The old record had been minus 89.2C.
US ice scientist Ted Scambos at the National Snow and Ice Data Center announced the cold facts at the American Geophysical Union scientific meeting in San Francisco on Monday.
