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?
Thanks to John and Julian for your replies; hadn't thought about
there not being a year 0!

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

This calendar is based on the year 1AD being the year that Jesus was
believed to have been both conceived and born, so December 25th this
year would supposedly mark his 2018th birthday.
