Nearly 1000 Record Low Temperatures Set As Another Round of Arctic Air Forecast To Deep Freeze The U.S.
Now remember folks this is weather not climate change.
Much like hot temperature can be used to indicate climate change.
Much like a series of tornado could be used to indicate climate change.
Much like melting glacier can be used used to indicate climate change.
It should be obvious that cold temperature are nothing but weather and indicate nothing. But warm temperatures are a sure indication of CC.
What an incredibly idiotic OP. You dimwitted denier cult dingbats are sooooo ignorant and gullible. Some denier cult blogger trumpets the fact that there have a thousand record cold temperatures recorded recently as a fierce winter storm sweeps across the country but, since this is propaganda and not science reporting, he ignores the context that gives meaning to that statistic and deceives you gullible denier cultists into thinking that new record cold temperatures somehow refute AGW. LOL.
In fact, it is the ratio of record setting hot days to record setting cold days over the course of a year or a decade that is significant. That ratio has been shifting steadily towards more record hot days and nights than record cold days and nights over the last four decades. A study done several years ago found that the ratio had shifted from 1:1, as it would be if there were no global warming and no rising temperature trend, to more than 2:1 more record hot days than record cold days.
Last year, 2012, was the hottest year on record in the USA, with most of the country suffering through brutal heat waves, and over the course of the year, 34,008 new record highs were set, compared to only 6664 record lows. A study published in September of 2012 found that thus far at that point in 2012:
25 states had high to low-temperature record ratios of 10:1 or greater. Fourteen had a ratio of greater than 20:1, three states had greater than a 40:1 ratio, and none had less than a 1:1 ratio. Ohio topped the list with 49 high-temperature records for every record low. Nationally, through August 31, record highs were outpacing record lows by a 7 to 1 margin.
