Has anybody even bothered to read the little story? I did and here it is in its entirety. Notice anything unusual? I'll highlight it for the thinking impaired......
May the heat be with you _ another record month
(AP) 1 day ago
WASHINGTON And the heat goes on: It was the warmest May on record.
Worldwide, the average temperature for the month was 58.6 degrees Fahrenheit (14.8 Celsius), the warmest May on record, back to 1880.
That was 1.24 degrees F (0.69 C) warmer than average for the month as the planet's temperature continues to climb. Atmospheric scientists generally attribute the rising readings to the greenhouse effect, with man-made chemicals added to the atmosphere trapping heat from the sun that previously would have gone back out into space.
This year has also marked the warmest January-May period on record, according to the report from the National Climatic Data Center, an arm of the government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Looking at just the United States, May temperatures were near average with cooler-than-normal temperatures in the West balanced by warmer-than-normal readings East.
Idaho had its second coolest May on record, for example, while Rhode Island had its second warmest and Florida tied for its second warmest.
That means that IT WAS WARMER WAY BACK IN 1880 before all the supposed CO2 was introduced to the atmosphere......put that in your pipe and smoke it!
