Global Warming's Terrifying New Math (It's a catastrophe!)

According to Nasa, (in spite of Jim Hansen’s presence) this is the 10th hottest year on record, so far.
It is not the hottest. This blather is indeed meant to instill panic.

That followed the warmest May on record for the Northern Hemisphere – the 327th consecutive month in which the temperature of the entire globe exceeded the 20th-century average, the odds of which occurring by simple chance were 3.7 x 10-99, a number considerably larger than the number of stars in the universe.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I am not prepared to accept Bill McKibben's numbers. For all I know, he used the data which "got lost" by East Anglia.
Is this clown a statistician? or is he simply parroting something another criminal pulled out of his nether regions?
Until genuine peer review of his assertions is done by real scientists, I ain't buying a thing.

Since I wrote one of the first books for a general audience about global warming way back in 1989,

That makes you a scientist? Tell us about the book you wrote for actual real scientists, and then we can stop laughing at your strident hysteria and melodrama, and take you seriously. After reading the experts' reviews, that is.

Is global warming just another ‘End-of-the-World’ delusion?

That’s my standard answer to ‘it’s the warmest it’s been since 19 or 18**’:

‘Well, exactly what the hell was happening in 19 or 18** to make it so warm?’

So far, our AC bill is virtually zero! California is having a cold summer... it might have reached 80 today.

McKibben is an utter moron. The temperature each month is correlated to the previous month so he flunks based simply on that.. Natural increases from Little Ice Age dominated the 20th century so having "above average" months every month is expected not unexpected when the average contains part of the Little Ice Age. No, he is not parroting anyone, just a moron.
