Another Month, Another Global Heat Record Broken

Now some right winger is going to say that it was 3 degrees below normal this morning in his hometown of Buttfuck, Mississippi, so that proves that global warming is a hoax.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth is on pace to tie or even break the mark for the hottest year on record, federal meteorologists say.

That's because global heat records have kept falling in 2014, with September the latest example.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Monday that last month the globe averaged 60.3 degrees Fahrenheit (15.72 degrees Celsius). That was the hottest September in 135 years of record keeping.

It was the fourth monthly record set this year, along with May, June and August.

NASA, which measures temperatures slightly differently, had already determined that September was record-warm.

Here in my region we had this year the warmest May, the warmest September and the warmest October EVER. (...well, since weather data have been recorded.)

There is a difference between yearly weather and climate. One is a local day to day happenings where the other is a trend over a area.

A shortsighted person or self serving one only looks at the smallest sample to prove a point. The majority of trained climate scientists have looked at all of the data available, and see the pattern of warming. Sorry oil, gas and coal suppliers. For I fear in the future you will be vilified as a mass killer of life on this planet. Feel sorry for your descendants for they will have to deal with the results of your greed.

I have lived in the Ohio Valley around the Derby City since 1968 and have seen first hand the weather getting warmer.

Accentuating the Positive

The threat of freezing to death will melt away.

Antarctica will become the land of opportunity.

Doesn't the Siberian Tundra show that the area was once warm enough for plant life? It's not fosilised, just part of the permafrost.

If fossile records do mean anything, going back further indicates average temperatures ln the Jurasic age were even higher.

Maybe we're just getting back to normal.

That's exactly what I expect the right wingers to do.

When the warming gets to the point that they can no longer deny it, they will start saying that it's a good thing.

A warm month does explain record Antarctic ice cover.

increasing Antarctic sea ice does not in any way disprove global warming. Despite the increase in winter sea ice in the Antarctic, the water in the Southern Ocean is warming while satellite measurements have shown that the Antarctic continent is – on balance – losing ice.

I'm glad it doesn't disprove it

Any mention of undersea volcanos in the article?

There's a site out there that shows daily monthly and yearly high and low records. I'll try to find it.
