New climate change records have come along to remind us that Earth's thermostat is steadily pushing upward.
March 2015 was the warmest March since record-keeping began in 1880, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And the first quarter of 2015 was the warmest first quarter on record in those same 136 years.
That gives 2015 a stab at trumping the hottest year on record -- which was 2014.
The uninterrupted continuation of the warming trend is no surprise. The 10 warmest years on record have occurred in the past 17 years.
And though the rise in the last 10 years has been gentle by comparison, since 1910, the clear trend has been up, according to NASA's Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index.
In the latter two thirds of that time, warming and the effects on climate have been epochal, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. "Since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia."
Yet another broken record this March was more obvious to the eye. The expanse of Arctic sea ice shrunk to an absolute low for any March on record.
On the other end of the globe -- in the Antarctic -- sea ice has been on the gain, and this year, it hit a record March high.
But globally, the overall result is a big net loss. "The upward trend in the Antarctic ... is only about a third of the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean," according to NASA.

“”Earth’s thermostat is steadily pushing upward.””
if the thermostat....were steadily...pushing UPWARD wouldnt that mean the earh would be cooling??
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Oh, never mind. As much as find higher temps uncomfortable, it is better for the human race since it keeps folks from freezing to death and makes crop growing easier. Hey warmunists, STFU. Again, the questions:
1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet’
4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
And yet....

I remember all the ‘scientific’ papers from the 70’s predicting global cooling. I was 10, but remember fearing an ice age. In just 40 years - we’ve gone from global cooling to warming? Hardly within the scope of the hundreds of years it really takes for the earth’s climate to change.
Liberals don’t let data and facts like you want get in the way of their hysteria.
Lysenkoism: the manipulation or distortion of the scientific process as a way to reach a predetermined conclusion as dictated by an ideological bias, often related to social or political objectives.http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/11/the_ghost_of_lysenko.html
The big lie continues.
If global warming is man’s fault, CNN would headline every story about Obama’s trips by showing how much carbon be burned.
I figured on his last TAXPAYER PAID trip, Valerie’s man child burned more fossil fuel in two or three days than I will burn in my car over four or five years.
Shove it, CNN.
How about question 8. What is the correct CO2 concentration since we’ve has lower and much higher in the planet’s past?
From climate to racism the media has taken the role of Chicken Little.
In other words, almost half the warmest years happened before then. And even then there wouldn't be as many relatively warm years if the 1930s temperature record hadn't been lowered by "corrections."
More propaganda?
Well, now...
It seems ‘global warming’, aka ‘climate change’ is a good thing: Reduced storms, reduced hurricanes and, best of all:
Bringing the hurt to millions of liberals in large urban centers, particularly one state in general.
Sounds like a gift from above, from one perspective...
Well, it did reach 85 in Biloxi yesterday...oh, wait, that’s pretty normal for mid-May down here.
C’mon, get with the pogrom. Global warming causes the Earth to both heat up and cool down and it is all YOUR fault! Saint Albert of Gore, the patron saint of all things ‘progressive’ (AGW, internet, etc.), despite taking private jets all over the world, well, his additions to glowball warming are all righteous. You, being part of the vast right wing conspiracy, are not righteous and your carbon emissions must stop! < /extreme sarc>
I remember that as well. A new "ice age" was coming if we didn't submit to the will of the greenie liberals. Hehehe.
I saw a post somewhere a few days or so ago that summed it up for me. Something to the effect of "And all this from people who can't predict the weather accurately a few days in advance". d:^)

“”And all this from people who can’t predict the weather accurately a few days in advance”. d:^) “
LOL! I’ll remember that when discussing anything with a liberal. Although I try my hardest to avoid those types. It’s like talking with a 4 year old, where facts and logic are meaningless.
I know, I know, will I ever learn?
Somehow, my little house and my old, old Prius is more evil and is causing the ruin of this earth than Gore’s huge mansions, jets, SUVs.
I don’t know how I manage that ;)
just figured it out....it’s the fumes from all the Sharpies I use to create me TEA Party signs. THAT has to be it!
Don’t be so techincal. 97% of scientists agree that words just mean what they want them to. The are the masters afterall.
Huge bump.
