In what has become a common refrain this year, last month ranked as the hottest August on record, according to NASA data released Monday. Not only that, but the month tied July as the hottest month the world has seen in the last 136 years.

August came in at 1.76˚F (0.98˚C) above the average from 1951-1980, 0.16C above August 2014, the previous record holder. The record keeps 2016 on track to be the hottest year in the books by a fair margin.

How temperatures in 2016 have charted against previous years, including the tied record hot months of July and August.

That August continued the streak of record hot months this year and tied July as the hottest month was somewhat unexpected. The seasonal temperature cycle generally reaches a peak in July, as it did this year. But August was so anomalously warm — more so even than July — that it tied that month’s overall temperature.

It was also thought that July would likely be the last record hot month of the year, given the dissipation of El Niño.

In NASA’s dataset, August marks the 11th record-setting month in a row. That streak goes back 15 months through July in data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Each agency handles the global temperature data slightly differently and uses a different period of comparison, leading to slight differences in the monthly and yearly temperature numbers. Overall, though, both datasets show clear agreement in the overall warming trend.

That trend is what Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and other climate scientists emphasize. It is that excess heat that has accumulated over decades thanks to rising levels of greenhouse gases that accounts for the bulk of this year’s record warmth, with El Niño providing only a small boost.

Wow, there's almost no way 2016 won't be the hottest year on record!

And the record for fraudulent temperature adjustment is broken yet again...

 

[ScienceRocks]

So you're saying the entirety of climate science with thousands of temperature measurements from all over the world is a fraud. lol

 

[ScienceRocks]

A few graphs from the GISS data.

The rolling 12 month average is now up to +1.03C

In order for the year to average 1.0C or greater, the average anomaly for the rest of the year needs to be at least +0.89C

Tak a good look at your graph here matthew

Doesn't it strike you as strange that the hottest places on earth...and the ones that drive the global average up tend to be either very densely populated areas or areas with very little instrumental coverage which require vast amounts of infilling of data...

And while you are at it...take a look at the continental US....and let me remind you that the CRN network...that is the network that is state of the art...triple redundant...and so pristinely placed that it requires no adjustment says that the continental US is cooling..and has been for at least the past decade...

Clearly the adjustments are wrong in so far as the continental US is concerned...and there is no reason to believe that they only got the continental US wrong....a rational person would at least consider the very real possibility that if the CRN network were extended across the globe, the entire globe would show the same cooling trend as is shown in the continental US.

It's a world wide plot to have a few US dumb fuck rightards pay for climate scientists' lunches.

FACT.

I love it. The US as the globe.

Now that's exceptional.

No. We are saying there are heat records being broken in hell lately as well. This is what people who are so freaked out about what will happen in the future need to worry about.

Better and better. An acceptable part of a graphic is deemed reliable while an unacceptable part of the very same graphic is deemed fraudulent.

Buy foil futures, you heard it here first.

And to think I implied it couldn't get better.

Critical thinking not your best thing?....clearly the graphic matthew provided depicts the continental US experiencing the same warming trend as the rest of the globe...but we know, from the CRN network that the continental US has been cooling for at least a decade...if they got the continental US wrong, what makes you think they got the rest of the world right?

Which part of any of those graphs do you under the impression that I found acceptable?...they all depict nothing more than gratuitous data manipulation.

Really not good at critical thinking are you?...

 

[Old Rocks]

Now SSDD, go twiddle your smart photons. We already know what kind of credibility you have concerning science. The world is warming, we see evidence for that where ever we look. That you deny reality is what we expect from you.

All we see evidence of is data manipulation...or do you really believe that a warming of a hundredth of a degree in a global average might cause some visible change?

Huh? Weren't you dingbats just claiming that we are in a solar minimum now? If that is that case, how can you claim that peak solar activity drove that very strong El Nino? And where did your Maunder Minimum run off to? Lordy, the least you could do is try for a bit of consistancy. Kind of like reading Trump's speechs. Don't worry about what he just said, in six hours, he will say just the opposite. And the chorus will sing Halleluyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cnm]

clearly the graphic matthew provided depicts the continental US experiencing the same warming trend as the rest of the globe.

You mean that big white patch over it? Yeah, right.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

How'd they get readings accurate to a tenth of a degree back in 1880?

So Antarctica, Alaska, and Greenland, Arabian Desert, Central Amazon and Mongolia. The area north of the Caspian has about 1 person per square 10 km...these are the more Densely populated places on Earth?

Are all deniers as fucking dumb as you?

 

[Brambo]

How'd they get readings accurate to a tenth of a degree back in 1880?

Compiling tons of data from core samples from the ocean to tree rings and etc. These are all very accurate measurements but take a lot longer than just recording the temperature in real time.
