April was seventh warmest on record

The Earth experienced the seventh warmest April since record keeping began in 1880, as the climate phenomenon La Niña continued to be a significant factor. April’s annual Arctic sea ice extent was the fifth smallest since record keeping began in 1979, while the Antarctic sea ice extent was the fourth smallest.

The monthly analysis from NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., is part of the suite of climate services NOAA provides government, business and community leaders so they can make informed decisions.

Three days of snow here.
 
When the heatwave/forest fire/drought in Russia started a few weeks ago things were bad enough, with Moscow engulfed in smog the likes of which it had never seen and drought stunting crops in the countryside. Well, things have only gotten worse since then--the daily death rates doubling due to a combination of heat and unhealthy air--and finally people are starting to talk about the link with climate change.

Russian president Dmitry Medvedev at a Russian Security Council Meeting: "Everyone is talking about climate change now. Unfortunately, what is happening now in our central regions is evidence of this global climate change, because we have never in our history faced such weather conditions in the past. This means that we need to change the way we work, change the methods that we used in the past." (Mongabay)

Indeed, the Economic Times quotes the head of Russia's weather service as saying that after examining historic records, the daily highs of 100°F compared to the normal summer average of 75°F are unprecedented in 1000 years. Heat like this simply has not been known in Moscow in a millennia worth of documents.

Yeah, it's amazing how warm it is where there are no weather stations:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Amazing how you lie constantly. Ever consider working for Faux?





The problems with the US weather stations actually has made it into the general media and Russia used to have 15,000 weather stations, now they have 5,000. A scientist would wonder where those other stations went. A pseudo scientific political hack will tell you they don't matter.

My backyard thermometer here in Oaklandtown reads 50 F, which is very chilly for this time of year.

Must be all that Glowball Worming we've been hearing about.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL......the title of the article is spun like cotton candy....deliciously wacky....LOLOLOL.

From the article you cited about a paper titled “Analysis Of The Impacts Of Station Exposure On The U.S. Historical Climatology Network Temperatures and Temperature Trends”:

"While the 30-year and 115-year trends, and all groups of stations, showed warming trends over those periods, the scientists found that the minimum temperature trends appeared to be overestimated and the maximum warming trends underestimated at the poorer sites."

And here's another recent study that reaches the same conclusions.

On the reliability of the U.S. surface temperature record

Abstract

Recent photographic documentation of poor siting conditions at stations in the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has led to questions regarding the reliability of surface temperature trends over the conterminous United States (CONUS). To evaluate the potential impact of poor siting/instrument exposure on CONUS temperatures, trends derived from poor and well sited USHCN stations were compared. Results indicate that there is a mean bias associated with poor exposure sites relative to good exposure sites; however, this bias is consistent with previously documented changes associated with the widespread conversion to electronic sensors in the USHCN during the last 25 years. Moreover, the sign of the bias is counterintuitive to photographic documentation of poor exposure because associated instrument changes have led to an artificial negative (“cool”) bias in maximum temperatures and only a slight positive (“warm”) bias in minimum temperatures. These results underscore the need to consider all changes in observation practice when determining the impacts of siting irregularities. Further, the influence of nonstandard siting on temperature trends can only be quantified through an analysis of the data. Adjustments applied to USHCN Version 2 data largely account for the impact of instrument and siting changes, although a small overall residual negative (“cool”) bias appears to remain in the adjusted maximum temperature series. Nevertheless, the adjusted USHCN temperatures are extremely well aligned with recent measurements from instruments whose exposure characteristics meet the highest standards for climate monitoring. In summary, we find no evidence that the CONUS average temperature trends are inflated due to poor station siting.

How about 75 feet of snow on Washington State route 20?

For the supposed record heat being reported there sure is a hell of a lot of snow on the ground, and don't try to foist off that pseudo scientific crap about warmth causing cold.
What malarkey.




Running just south of the U.S. border with Canada, you’d expect the North Cascade Highway to be subject to some wintry weather occasionally.
But this weekend drivers on State Route 20 – which passes from Port Townsend in west Washington State to Newport in the east – found that snow chains wouldn’t be sufficient after an incredible 75 feet of snow covered a 40-mile stretch of the highway.
And the heavy snowfall could keep the road closed for another week, which would mark its latest spring reopening in 30 years.

A very warm Siberia.

Yeah, it's amazing how warm it is where there are no weather stations:eusa_liar::eusa_liar::eusa_liar:

The reality of 5000 Russian weather stations = "no weather stations"


Denier cult cherry-picking & slight-of-hand through implication

'Weather stations are all important and satellite measurements somehow don't count'

Russia used to have 15,000 weather stations, now they have 5,000. A scientist would wonder where those other stations went.

So first it was "no weather stations" and now it is "they have 5,000"....LOLOLOLOL....I see you're maintaining your usual standards of accuracy and clarity, walleyed....LOLOLOL.

A real scientist would ask whether or not those other weather stations make any difference, given the wide dispersal of the 5,000 in use, given that there are a lot less stations used for temperature and climate data collection in the USA, and especially given the independent verification of the ground based measurements provided by the satellite measurements.

Silly ass. Nobody stated that warmth causes cold. What has been stated is that a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture and when that moisture comes out, you get more precipitation. In winter, particularly in mountain areas, the form of precipitation is snow.

We had a very strong La Nina. A strong La Nina results in a cooler Northwest, with more moisture. So, a large amount of snow in the North Cascades is hardly surprising.


Mount Baker - World Record Snowfall

Snowfall
Although the Arctic is known as a snowy place, it is in fact a desert where very little snow actually falls. The snow that does fall, however, stays around a long time, giving the impression of much snow.

So where did the MOST snow fall?

The world record for the most snow in one year is now held by Mount Baker (elevation: 10,775 feet / 3,285 meters) in Washington State, USA. The Mount Baker Ski Area reported 1,140 inches (95 feet) / 2,896 cm (29 meters) of snowfall for the 1998-99 season.
The mountain also beat its own record for most snowfall in a month with 304 inches / 772 cm.

Snowfall can be difficult to measure because it settles, melts, or drifts from place to place. Strict standards must be observed - a flat surface is used to measure daily snowfall amounts along with a snow stake to measure depth.

The heavy snowfalls in Washington's Cascade Mountains are the result of several factors:


Winter is the wettest season on the mild Pacific Coast, and with the west-to-east weather patterns, storms strike the Pacific Northwest frequently.

Freezing levels average about 4,000 feet / 1,220 meters over the winter months. Near that altitude snowfall amounts increases very rapidly with just small increases in elevation.

Air full of moisture after its journey across the Pacific is forced up over the Cascade Range. It cools down quickly and drops it's load.

95 feet of snow in that very cold year of 1998-1999. LOL!!!!!

But I enjoyed the pictures. I don't bother to go up on the Golden Horn until the melt is almost over. Very good mineral hunting there. However, even in July and August, the weather can go from a pleasant 70 to snotty snow and sleet at 35 degrees. Excellant country for late summer hypothermia.

How many of those are in Siberia? You see dear fool, the point is not that there aren't any it's that you fraudsters choose not to use them, but I'll let the Russians speak for themselves.

"Russia affected by Climategate

A discussion of the November 2009 Climatic Research Unit e-mail hacking incident, referred to by some sources as "Climategate," continues against the backdrop of the abortive UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen (COP15) discussing alternative agreements to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol that aimed to combat global warming.

The incident involved an e-mail server used by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich, East England. Unknown persons stole and anonymously disseminated thousands of e-mails and other documents dealing with the global-warming issue made over the course of 13 years.

Controversy arose after various allegations were made including that climate scientists colluded to withhold scientific evidence and manipulated data to make the case for global warming appear stronger than it is.

Climategate has already affected Russia. On Tuesday, the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) issued a report claiming that the Hadley Center for Climate Change based at the headquarters of the British Meteorological Office in Exeter (Devon, England) had probably tampered with Russian-climate data.

The IEA believes that Russian meteorological-station data did not substantiate the anthropogenic global-warming theory.

Analysts say Russian meteorological stations cover most of the country's territory, and that the Hadley Center had used data submitted by only 25% of such stations in its reports.

Over 40% of Russian territory was not included in global-temperature calculations for some other reasons, rather than the lack of meteorological stations and observations.

The data of stations located in areas not listed in the Hadley Climate Research Unit Temperature UK (HadCRUT) survey often does not show any substantial warming in the late 20th century and the early 21st century.

The HadCRUT database includes specific stations providing incomplete data and highlighting the global-warming process, rather than stations facilitating uninterrupted observations.

On the whole, climatologists use the incomplete findings of meteorological stations far more often than those providing complete observations.

IEA analysts say climatologists use the data of stations located in large populated centers that are influenced by the urban-warming effect more frequently than the correct data of remote stations.

The scale of global warming was exaggerated due to temperature distortions for Russia accounting for 12.5% of the world's land mass. The IEA said it was necessary to recalculate all global-temperature data in order to assess the scale of such exaggeration.

Global-temperature data will have to be modified if similar climate-date procedures have been used from other national data because the calculations used by COP15 analysts, including financial calculations, are based on HadCRUT research."
