Well over 1,000 record temperatures recorded in the United States THIS WEEK!!!
Top story on DRUDGE right now!!!
1,122 Record Cold Temps in the U.S. in one week | Climate Depot
So.......WTF?!!!!
Well.....this sure screws up the climate crusaders k00k narrative, doesn't it??!!
LOLOLOLOL.....and one of the forum's most idiotic retards proves once again that he is totally clueless about the difference between local weather and global climate. As have most of the other denier cult retards as well. For the benefit of the denier cult retards:
A few record cold temperatures in some parts of the USA for over a brief period of time = weather.
Long term patterns and trends of changing temperatures over decades over the entire planet = climate change.
Long term trends = "June 2013 was the 340th consecutive month with global temperatures warmer than the 20th century average."
So July got a bit colder than usual in some places in the US. Remember June, all over the world?
Earth has its 5th (or possibly 2nd) Warmest June on Record

June 2013 was the globe's 5th warmest June since records began in 1880, according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). NASA rated it the 2nd warmest June on record. The year-to-date period of January - June has been the 7th warmest such period on record. June 2013 global land temperatures were the 3rd warmest on record, and global ocean temperatures were the 10th warmest on record. June 2013 was the 340th consecutive month with global temperatures warmer than the 20th century average. Global satellite-measured temperatures in June 2013 for the lowest 8 km of the atmosphere were 5th or 4th warmest in the 35-year record, according to Remote Sensing Systems and the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH), respectively. Wunderground's weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, has a comprehensive post on the notable weather events of June 2013 in his June 2013 Global Weather Extremes Summary.
Neutral El Niño conditions continue in the equatorial Pacific - For the 15th month in row, neutral El Niño conditions existed in the equatorial Pacific during June 2013. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) expects neutral El Niño conditions to last through summer and into the fall, and the large majority of the El Niño models also predict that neutral conditions will last through the fall of 2013. Temperatures in the equatorial Eastern Pacific need to be 0.5°C below average or cooler for three consecutive months for a La Niña episode to be declared; sea surface temperatures were 0.4°C below average as of July 15, and have been +0.1 to -0.4°C from average since April 1, 2013.
Explaining Explosion of Daily Record Highs Easy as Pie

As the climate has warmed during the past several decades, there has been a growing imbalance between record daily high temperatures in the contiguous U.S. and record daily lows. A study published in 2009 found that rather than a 1-to-1 ratio, as would be expected if the climate were not warming, the ratio has been closer to 2-to-1 in favor of warm temperature records during the past decade (2000-2009). This finding cannot be explained by natural climate variability alone, the study found, and is instead consistent with global warming. When you look at individual years, the imbalance can be more stark. For example, through late June 2012, daily record highs were outnumbering record daily lows by a ratio of 9-to-1.The study used computer models to project how the records ratios might shift in future decades as the amount of greenhouse gases in the air continues to increase. The results showed that the ratio of daily record highs to daily record lows in the lower 48 states could soar to 20-to-1 by mid-century, and 50-to-1 by 2100.

2013 shaping up to be one of Australia's hottest years on record
July 1, 2013
By David Jones, Australian Bureau of Meteorology; Blair Trewin, Australian Bureau of Meteorology; Karl Braganza, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, and Rob Smalley, Australian Bureau of Meteorology
The last 10 months have been abnormally warm across Australia and we’ve seen a notable lack of unusually cold weather this winter. Are we heading for the hottest year on record? The more significant records for this period include:
Australia’s hottest day on record
Australia’s hottest week on record
Australia’s hottest month on record
Australia’s hottest summer on record
Australia’s hottest September to June (10 months) on record
A feature of the last 10 months has been the persistence of unusually warm temperatures. Every calendar month since September 2012 has had temperatures 0.5°C or more above normal. The result has been a national mean temperature anomaly of +1.03°C for the past 10 months, well ahead of the previous record of +0.94 °C set in 1997-98. The record heat has affected rural, regional and urban Australia alike, with many stations setting records. Hobart (41.8 °C) and Sydney (45.8 °C) both recorded their hottest days on record. The last 10 months have seen above-normal temperatures over 97% of Australia; only the Capricornia district of central Queensland has missed out. The heat has extended to the oceans around Australia, with record warm sea-surface temperatures during summer (January and February 2013) as well as the warmest start to a calendar year (January to June) on record.
Year to date temperatures deciles for Australia showing that temperatures have been above average to record warm over nearly the whole continent in 2013. Bureau of Meteorology
Don't have time to clean out this neglected stable.. But it amounts to a big pile of devious statistical manipulations and hand-waving, and false attribution...
1) I'll bet that I can come up with 340 consecutive months of warming in the 1920s and 1930s using the previous 19th century average temps..
2) Does the study showing relative occurrences of "highs" and "lows" include the FOUR possibilities of setting records? Or just the two extremes? The FOUR possibilities each day are:
a) A new higher HIGH temp
b) A new LOWER High temp
c) A new lower LOW temp
d) A new higher Low temp
You bias the analysis by only considering the rarer extremes of "a" and "c".
3) RE Australia.. So WHAT is the cause? Seems like the literature reveals that the MOST likely cause for this is NOT CO2 warming.. But actually the blame is being cast on LATE ocean heating PRIMARILY DRIVEN by ABSENCE of AEROSOLS... More aerosols earlier caused cooling in Australia --- LESS aerosols now -- cause a delayed warming..
Aerosols (unlike CO2) CAN be dispersed regionally and explain a lot of the localized weather. Would be a shame if we spent $Trills mitigating according to the wrong "pollutant" wouldn't it?? OR closing coal plants all over the world and finding out that the NATURAL temp rise goes higher...
Get a BIGGER HOSE and give me a day off --- and we can fix the other problems with this
horse shit......
