Uh-ooohh Spaghettios... the US in ten year cooling trend?

[mgh80]

Whether global warming exists or not...what's the harm in keeping the environment healthy?

Yup, that's exactly what is, the United States has been COOLING for the PAST DECADE... you don't have to tell me. I can't remember the last time we had back to back winters in Wisconsin that were so BLISTERING COLD, and SUSTAINED. So read it and weep, progtards...

America’s Most Advanced Climate Station Data Shows US In A 10-Year Cooling Trend

Data from America’s most advanced climate monitoring system shows the U.S. has undergone a cooling trend over the last decade, despite recent claims by government scientists that warming has accelerated worldwide during that time.

Advanced Climate Station Data Shows U.S. In A Cooling Trend The Daily Caller

I live in Wisconsin. For one year. And I was told last winter was almost warm... That is warmer than what they're used to.

I've lived in Wisconsin most of my life, and I can tell you that last year and the year before both were record COLD years. We had early Falls, late Springs and short Summers. It's been abnormally cold here, period.

Sounds like a place I need to move to.

...in the past 3 years, even in summertime, Americans have been freezing their nut sacks off.

More evidence of the deluded denier cult insanity of Kookster the Troll.

Two things first....
It's 2015 now....the Kookster moronically claims that "in the past 3 years, even in summertime, Americans have been freezing their nut sacks off".....three years ago was 2012.....which was the hottest year on record in the USA....

NOAA -
In 2012, the contiguous United States (CONUS) average annual temperature of 55.3°F was 3.2°Fabove the 20th century average, and was the warmest year in the 1895-2012 period of record for the nation. The 2012 annual temperature was 1.0°F warmer than the previous record warm year of 1998. Since 1895, the CONUS has observed a long-term temperature increase of about 0.13°F per decade.

On a statewide and seasonal level, 2012 was a year of both temperature and precipitation extremes for the United States. Each state in the CONUS had annual temperatures which were above average. Nineteen states, stretching from Utah to Massachusetts, had annual temperatures which were record warm. An additional 26 states had one of their 10 warmest years. Only Georgia (11th warmest year), Oregon (12th warmest), and Washington (30th warmest) had annual temperatures that were not among the ten warmest in their respective period of records. A list of the annual temperatures for each of the lower-48 states is available here. Numerous cities and towns were also record warm during 2012 and a select list of those locations is available here. Each state in the CONUS, except Washington, had at least one location experience its warmest year on record. One notable warmest year record occurred in Central Park, in New York City, which has a period of record dating back 136 years.

Kookster the Troll claimed that Americans have been freezing for three years, but I'm an American and my state just had its hottest year on record. (As did Alaska, BTW - Weather Service: 2014 was Alaska's warmest year on record
- also 2014 was the second hottest on record for Oregon and the fifth hottest on record for Washington)

2014 was California’s hottest year, and it wasn’t even close

California not only sweated through its hottest year on record in 2014 but obliterated the previous mark by nearly 2 degrees, federal scientists said Thursday, while experiencing firsthand some of the worst fears of a warming planet — from intensified drought to melting snowpack.

The state’s average temperature last year was 61.5 degrees, more than 4 degrees above the 20th century average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported. The previous hottest year was 1934, at 59.7 degrees, though many of the balmiest periods have come more recently, with seven of the 10 hottest years within the past two decades.

“There’s a very clear warming trend in California,” said Noah Diffenbaugh, an associate professor of environmental Earth system science at Stanford University who studies climate change. “And not only are we seeing clear evidence of global warming and its impacts, but we’re now seeing the impacts of global warming right here in western North America.”

Scientists say rising temperatures have sometimes contributed to smoggier air, stunted growth of plants, extreme weather events and other abnormalities in the Golden State, but the biggest impacts recently have come with the crippling drought. Though many are hesitant to blame the state’s three-year dry spell on global warming, consensus is that hot weather has exacerbated the situation — for example, by increasing evaporation.

“The warm year in California did make the drought conditions worse,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center. “The drought and the heat kind of reinforced each other.”

While acknowledging the connection between temperature and dry times, a study led by NOAA, released in December, concluded that the cause of the drought was not man-made warming, but naturally changing ocean conditions. Other research, however, has suggested a link between climate change and the high-pressure weather system that hung over the Pacific Ocean in recent years and steered storms away from California.

The state’s lack of precipitation also combined with last year’s warm temperatures to make for very little snow in the Sierra. As of Thursday, the state’s snowpack, which is vital because it provides the bulk of California’s water supply, was just 41 percent of average. Long-term studies suggest that snowpack in Western states has been in decline since the 1950s.

...as temperatures and winters have been bitter in recent years.

And yet more evidence of the Kookster's cherry-picking insanity....considering that this last winter was the warmest winter on record globally.

2015 - This Winter Was Warmest on Record

This winter may have brought a deep freeze to much of the northeastern United States — including record-breaking snowfall in Boston — but it was the planet's warmest winter on record, climate scientists announced yesterday (March 18).

The average global temperature from December to February was 1.42 degrees Fahrenheit (0.79 degrees Celsius) higher than the 20th-century average of 53.8 degrees F (12.1 degrees C), according to a newly released report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center.

These stats make December 2014 to February 2015 the warmest winter since record keeping began in 1880, surpassing the previous record set in 2007 by 0.05 degrees F (0.03 degrees C).

Last month was also the second-warmest February on record, according to NOAA. The average global temperature across land and oceans last month was 1.48 degrees F (0.82 degrees C) higher than the 20th-century average, making only February 1998 warmer, NOAA officials said.

But the report also noted colder-than-average temperatures in February across the central and eastern United States -- similar to the wintry conditions seen in the region at the same time last year.

"In February 2015, cooler to much-cooler-than-average conditions overtook the entire eastern half of the United States and the eastern third of Canada, with some record-cold pockets seen around the Great Lakes region and part of northeastern Canada near Hudson Bay," NOAA scientists wrote in the report.

Yet, that was not the case for much of the globe.

"The majority of the world's land surfaces, however, were warmer than average, with much-warmer-than-average temperatures widespread across Central America, northern and central South America, Australia, most of Africa, and much of Eurasia, including a broad swath that covered most of Russia," the NOAA report states.

Earlier this year, scientists at NOAA and NASA announced that 2014 was the hottest year since record keeping began in 1880. Their report showed that every continent set heat records last year, with temperatures over land and oceans breaking the previous records set in 2005 and 2010.

The global average temperature in 2014 was 1.24 degrees F (0.69 degrees C) higher than the 20th-century average of 57.1 degrees F (14.0 degrees C).

Human-caused global warming, from emissions of greenhouse gases, is a major contributor to the continued rise in global temperatures, scientists have said.

"It's greenhouse gases that are responsible for the majority of the long-term trend," Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, said during a news conference in January, when the report on 2014 temperatures was released.

Funny stuff. Why is anyone touching historical data at all?

Your ignorance about science is your own problem, JustCrazy. Scientists understand a great many things that are very clearly far beyond your obviously very limited comprehension.

what is it they learned? I know, in order for a prediction model to be correct, one must falsify data from history so today looks terrible. Right?

 

[jc456]

Well, Mr. Ian, by the time this year is over, your nonsense about cooling and pause will be recognized by all for what it is. Just as you claimed that you accept whatever the BEST project headed by Muller found, and then when it turned out that he verified the readings and conclusions by the scientists, you will not accept the reality of 2015.

Ray....sorry but only if we see a pronounced weather phenomena occurring over a protracted period of time.................like no snow at the New England ski resorts for a whole season. Or wind sailing in the middle of Lake Superior in late January for 3 weeks. 95% of the country couldn't give a rats ass about the "readings". They know what they feel outside and in the past 3 years, even in summertime, Americans have been freezing their nut sacks off. In New York, ask anybody who isn't a nut and they'd tell you beach days have been rare......unlike years ago!!


And its funny........the same BS bomb thrower speculation when a weather anomaly occurred over the past 20 years and fueled global warming hysteria is now biting the AGW crowd in the ass as temperatures and winters have been bitter in recent years. The AGW people will post up nonsense figures but what matters is what people are perceiving. That's just the way it is.

Skooks, high today in Chicago 67. I bet Alaska is still hot.

I'm sure she's very familiar with your case, CrazyFruitcake. Did you have too many electro-shock treatments? Or was it the drugs that turned you into a vegetable?
