August and September were hot, but no hotter than the hottest years back in the 1980s. It never got above 100 degrees F here this year when back in 1984 it was up to 116 degrees F.
Yes. By February we will burst into flames.
They do the same thing with land based reading too. Find a station warmer then the others and then adjust the others up. It is really criminal how NOAA tortures the data to get the desired outcome.
One thing is certain..
Women and children hurt most.
Repeat the lie enough times and it becomes truth. That’s why all these liberal rags continue to run the bogus article and note that they rarely if ever publish dissenting views. It’s all about getting the message out and indoctrination of our youth.
.19 degrees from disparate stations that do not include the ones that were shut down in Siberia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Yes! There are going to dig up the dead and kill them again!
In 2014, the Baltimore area had about a dozen 100+ days. 2015 saw zero.
Maybe it was hotter because the area had a lot of really cold days, including some all time record breakers. So, since they started from a lower aggregate index and rose to be hot, the temp differential was higher so in their warped ideology, it was hotter.
Michael Mann cherry picked his dendrochronological data. So do others. Such studies conflate temperatures with moisture and are unreliable. Then there is the effect of aboriginal fire, and there isn't a single tree ring study out there that accounts for it.
Sorry. We were neighbors of Professor Douglass. We grew up in the shadow of his tree slices.
What makes you think there is no causal correlation between teperature and moisture? Have you not been reading about Patricia?
And I sent the authors of a tree ring study of redwood and giant sequoia that blew them out of the water by their own metrics.

I didn't say there were none, I said they were conflated, particularly in a coastal environment. Warmer air carries more moisture that promotes growth. Cold air condenses onshore moisture that promotes growth. Hot temperatures close stomata and dries the landscape that retards growth. Warm soil temperatures promote growth.
It's complicated, and it gets a LOT more complicated when you throw anthropogenic fire into the picture, particularly as regards albedo. Charred surfaces absorb more infra red. There is a recovery period for trees of up to two years to restore greenery. Burning releases nutrient that promotes growth in subsequent years. Accumulated charcoal literally pulls moisture into topsoil and holds it there... And frequent fires won't show scars on trees. Even the distribution and range of trees can reflect the practices of an anthropogenic fire regimen. I have yet to see a dendrochronological study that can extract a climate signal from the noise of anthropogenic burning except on a very long time scale, and even then it produces questionable conclusions in more coastal regions.
Indeed it is complicated. However, it is my understanding thete are tree over the world from many different historical and current environments that can allow for an analysis that gives a pretty good picture of global warming caused by other factors than human industrial innovations.
In addition, there seem to be a dearth of studies about natural “healing” of the changes that indusrialization might cause.
Well it's too bad for your understanding that such is NOT what was done. The data was cherry picked, particularly at the Yamal River, where Mann had a choice of 300 cores and picked only one.
Here is a summary.
Funny, it was the coolest summer in recent memory
here in Ga.
