Despite La Niña...
...2012 Was Ninth-Hottest Year Since 1850

05/02/2013

GENEVA (AP) — The World Meteorological Organization says last year was the ninth-warmest since record-keeping began in 1850, despite the cooling effect of the weather pattern called La Nina.

WMO said in annual climate report Thursday the years from 2001 to 2012 were all among the top 13 warmest on record — the hottest being 2010, when the average temperature was 58.2 degrees F (14.6 degrees C).

WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud says "sustained warming of the lower atmosphere is a worrisome sign" of global warming despite La Nina, which is the flip side of El Nino and generally cools the oceans globally.

27th year in a row the global average temperature surpassed the 1961-1990 average.

WOW, that's a hot sun up there in the sky.

Yeah, the sun is hot, all right, but orbital measurements of the sun's intensity show that it has not increased its energy output, so scientists understand that it is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases that is driving the increase in Earth's heat content.

meh


all based upon bogus models...........


The models are wrong | Behind The Black


And lets face facts....... Climategate changed journalists opinions dramatically. Before the fall of 2009, there were almost no skeptic opinions presented in any form of media, except to show how ludicrous skeptics were, to attempt to humiliate them. Climategate woke them up, they’re not fully awake yet but it’s a vast improvement.

How do we know this is fact?


Because the upcoming climate legislation has ZERO chance of passing in Congress!!!

Yes, it's also convenient that they've dropped 77% of the weather stations that disagreed with them. Now when you want to know what the temps are you'll get acres of tarmac from your local airport instead of what the actual temps are. But hey, you knew that...you just don't care.
