Strange Historical Temp Records...

editec, it is pretty obvious what is happening.

The sun is at its lowest level of activity in 80 years, and this is counteracting the influence of increasing atmospheric CO2 by 40%. The sun's activity level will now rise as it moves toward the peak of its cycle in 2013. Meanwhile, methane trapped in the arctic is beginning to be released as the arctic ice melts. This methane could increase tempertures even more because methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.

Except for the whole Man Made Global Warming claims that the SUN had nothing to do with the warming, BUT now, it has something to do with cooling? Can not have it BOTH ways dumb ass.

The sun is at its lowest level of activity in 80 years, and yet we are experiencing record heat across the United States.....

Record-setting heat not over yet - USATODAY.com

Cities in Wisconsin and Michigan and all the way down to Texas and Florida have been smashing heat records this week: concrete roads buckled, one person was found dead and seven show dogs died. "Records will continue to roll in," said James Wilson, a meteorologist at The Weather Channel.

Wilson said a wide swath of the country is experiencing temperatures ranging 10 to 15 degrees above average.

Some record-setting temperatures set on Wednesday: 96 degrees in Grand Rapids, Mich.; 95 in Traverse City, Mich.; 105 in Austin; 104 in Houston; and 106 in Waco.

Even Hawaii is experiencing record heat...

HONOLULU -- Honolulu has been experiencing unusually hot weather for this time of year, weather officials said.

It is the eighth day that temperatures have reached as high as 92 degrees. It is an all-time record for June -- 5 degrees above average.

Records set in the 40's I might add. Why did these records stand all through the man made warming of the last 20 years Chris?

Bingo - love how you cut to the core fo Chris's duplicity.

Sunspot activity began to rise during the 1980s, leading to the increased warming of the 1990s. This simple fact was proposed by some within the scientific community as the primary cause of the warming, but they were aggressively dismissed and the AGW theory was just as aggressively pushed forward as that is where the $$$$ is. The sun's role in earth's temperatures was scoffed at.

Now with sunspot activity reduced, and earth temps declining, these same AGW's are using the sun as the reason for the reduction - but apparently the sun's role regarding earth's temps is but a one-way street. It is humankind that actually warms the earth - not the sun.
