Given that the media has begun celebrating the decade 2010-2019, with various awards for best band, artist, book, film etc, I was wondering why those of us in the climatological world stick with 2011-2020, or for 30-year records, 1991-2020?

What do you mean there was no year 0? Time is a continuum.
