February 2014 global temperatures were 21st highest on record

Here is another defeat to the AGW propaganda (although many here still push it).

OK, dumb ass, that was written in 2007. 2012 was warmer;

NOAA: 2012 was warmest year ever for US, second most 'extreme' - U.S. News

I don't generally like data conspiracies as they're pretty un falsifiable, but do you think it's a little odd that 2012 was said to be the warmest US on record by a huge full degree margin yet it didn't break a single daily state maximum temp record? How extreme is that?

What a coincidence, just at the time when everyone is talking about the 'catastrophic' Global Warming. 1 warmer month doesn't say anything. We all remember the winter in the interior this year?

The month was global, the winter you speak of was regional.

NOAA: 2012 broke U.S. heat records - CNN.com

Now 2012 is officially in the books as the hottest year on record for the continental United States and the second-worst for "extreme" weather such as hurricanes, droughts or floods, the U.S. government announced Tuesday.
The year's average temperature of 55.3 degrees Fahrenheit across the Lower 48 was more than 3.2 degrees warmer than the average for the 20th century, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration reported. That topped the previous record, set in 1998, by a full degree.
Every state in the contiguous United States saw above-average temperatures in 2012, with 19 of them setting annual records of their own, NOAA said. Meanwhile, the country faced 11 weather disasters that topped $1 billion in losses each, including a lingering drought that covered 61% of the country at one point.

Surely you jest!!

That means that the earth cooled after 1934 and no year since has been as hot. I guess "global warming" is a farce after all. That's what I thought. Carry on!!

You are about as stupid as the rocks I bring home. The US is less than 2% of the globes surface. 1934 was not the hottest year for the globe, 2010 or 2005 have that honor. And 2012 was hotter in the US than 1934 was.

Everything you listed here relates to average temperatures and does not address my previous question. Maximum temperature records were only tied in one state in 2012, new records have not been broken since 1995, and almost half of the records from the '30's still stand.

1. We're discussing what is good for human civilization. AKA the past 10,000 years.
2. Who cares about half of a small percentage of the globe!

We all seem to be doing just fine. So what if the earth's temperature ebbs and flows with the times. That's nothing new. I remember back in the 70s when the science community was all worried that we were entering the next "ice age." I ho-hummed through that fiasco like I'm yawning through the current one. Fear-mongering as a means of control is out of fashion.

Global warming has been very very good for humans. Compare the Dark Ages with the Medieval Warming Period.

The worst thing for The Poor, especially in developing countries, is a long cold spell during which eking out a living via subsistence farming becomes nearly impossible.

You're confusing "northern Europe" with "the world".

Tell the former breadbaskets of north Africa and Arabia how wonderful the warming was. Or the various vanished civilizations in Africa and the southwest USA.
