Latest Data On Climate Change: Warm and Conservative Texas is Screwed

It's all over today's news.

Conservatives need to be horsewhipped for doing the dirty work for multinational corporations and others who hope to save money while Rome burns

Not Even Close: 2012 Was Hottest Ever in U.S.
By JUSTIN GILLIS
Published: January 8, 2013

The numbers are in: 2012, the year of a surreal March heat wave, a severe drought in the Corn Belt and a huge storm that caused broad devastation in the Middle Atlantic States, turns out to have been the hottest year ever recorded in the contiguous United States.

A Record Worth Wilting For: Death Valley Is Hotter Than ... (December 29, 2012)
Rising Temperatures Threaten Fundamental Change for Ski Slopes (December 13, 2012)


How hot was it? The temperature differences between years are usually measured in fractions of a degree, but last year’s 55.3 degree average demolished the previous record, set in 1998, by a full degree Fahrenheit.

If that does not sound sufficiently impressive, consider that 34,008 daily high records were set at weather stations across the country, compared with only 6,664 record lows, according to a count maintained by the Weather Channel meteorologist Guy Walton, using federal temperature records.

That ratio, which was roughly in balance as recently as the 1970s, has been out of whack for decades as the country has warmed, but never by as much as it was last year.

Wake up people. Maybe time to go after a few conservatives for criminal liability

 

[Old Rocks]

High on the list is Senator Inhofe. Then the scientific community should unite in demanding that people like Anthony Watts and Monkton be shown publically for the liars they are.

Until the consequence create intolerable situations for enough people, nobody is going to do anything, or even prepare for consequences. Then you will hear the 'Conservatives' demanding the scalps of the scientists because they did not warn them. Mark my words, they will use this lie.

and they'll blame Al Gore and President Obama. seriously. I'm not saying 'the end is near' but it does look to be a tough time coming. I will probably not live to see how it all works out, but I do cherish being around to rub their smarmy faces in the shit as t starts hitting the fan. It's right around the corner

Hotter by a full degree huh? You guys will fall for anything. Which altered temperature record are you looking at?

Ever hear of CRN? Billions were spent on it but you probably won't hear much about it anytime soon. It consists of well situated stations across the country and it doesn't require adjustment. The only problem is that it doesn't show anywhere near the warming that the "adjusted" temperature base shows.

Just in the past few days the NDC reported that July of 2012 was the hottest year ever with an average temperature of 77.6. CRN, their state of the art temperature monitoring system says that the average in July was 75.6...two degrees cooler than the "adjusted" temperature record claims. CRN has been in operation since 2008 and has been quitely contradicting the published temperatures since it went online. Ever wonder why it is never mentioned in those big headline news releases regarding temperature? For that matter, have you ever even heard of CRN? My bet is that you haven't.

If it weren't actually costing me money, the fact that you guys swallow whatever BS you are fed hook line and sinker would be laughable.

I will be 70 this year, and had you asked me in 2000 whether I would live to see what we are seeing right now, I would have answered in the negative. What we see now in the Arctic, alpine glaciers, and weather extremes is what we were expecting between the middle of this century and the end of it.

In the next decade, I expect to see some rather unpleasant surprises as the effects of the amount of GHGs we have put into the atmosphere create even more unforeseen feedbacks.

Er, continuity of data? or uh, comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges?


The U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) consists of 114 stations developed, deployed, managed, and maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the continental United States for the express purpose of detecting the national signal of climate change. The vision of the USCRN program is to maintain a sustainable high-quality climate observation network that

50 years from now ​

can with the highest degree of confidence answer the question: How has the climate of the nation changed over the past 50 years? These stations were designed with climate science in mind. (more...)


Ready, fire, aim -- it's a Republican thing.

Opposing the leftist agenda is not a crime, moron.

If you assholes had science on your side, you wouldn't have to resort to hyperemotional fear-mongering.

As it is, I wish you'd be honest for once: You're pushing the AGW cult not out of any concern for the environment (because you don't give a damn about it), but because you want world socialism and greater government control over individual lives.

Look at the facts!!!!

Cold snap in China: Because of AGW

Heat wave in Texas: because of AGW

Gullibility reigns throughout history:

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot.... Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone... Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. -

That damned place has been screwed since lava made it solid. I wonder how much the Mexicans would charge us to take it back.

Hyper-emotional fear mongering? That is the environmentalist left with an agenda. An honorable agenda, but an admittedly alarmist one at times. and they often have science on their side

remember acid rain, smog from autos/trucks, cigarettes not causing cancer?

The wingnut agenda has forever been using junk science to create doubt. Why? They are reactionaries. They would burn down the house to kill a spider if they were told spiders are leftists.

I'm sure it comforts your scared and feeble mind to believe that, but no.

The left wants to burn down the economies of the Western world to "save it" from AGW. Not only can they not prove their claims about CO2, but they have no idea what impact their meddling with the biosphere would do.

But it's okay, since they mean well.
