And we don't get that warm to begin with.
And yet the babbling buffoons will keep blathering about “global warming.”
Seattle has had its hottest, driest stretch between May and July that anyone remembers (with more on the way).
El Nino Threat Blows Commodity Prices Higher
ENSO does have some positive benefits. The change in wind patterns means that hurricane formation is disrupted in the Atlantic, so the Gulf of Mexico is at a lower risk of suffering disruptions to oil production, lessening the chances of an oil-price spike. Also, the warm US winters caused by the phenomenon reduce energy consumption, lessening demand for heating oil. It also had indirect benefits. According to the NOAA study, department store sales were up by 5pc to 15pc during the abnormally warm winter in the Midwest during the 1997-998 event.
Here in Indy this am, I woke up to temps around 58. Right now my thermometer says it’s 60. For frickn July!
I might light a fire. Or close my windows. We have ‘t seen temps like these since the 1870’s, back then the high was like 75. I dot know if we’ll even make it that high today.
It hasn’t hit 90F (that’s 32C up here) in Toronto once this summer. It got to 86F (30C) on one day in May.
Environment Canada will find a way to call it one of the hottest summers on record, just as one of the coldest winters in decades was called one of the mildest.
The global warming crowd can do that because they know very few people actually follow annual temperature records.
It’s been in the low 70’s or upper 60’s most recently.
I think it’s great. :)

Also the most remarkable June-July so far here in Virginia. We hit 90 maybe twice, and barely 90 at that. Otherwise, it’s been just perfect, 80s in the daytime, upper 60s at night. That compares favorably to our normally hot and muggy summers. Very little need for AC, which is usually a staple here from June through September and sometimes May through October.
If one believes man causes global warming, will he or she admit that the Clean Air Act added to global warming by removing light energy adsorbing particulates from the atmosphere?
Recently, I was saying on the campaign trail that it’s a cooler summer in most places and that’s not related to CO2. It didn’t go over very well because I was speaking to a crowd standing in the 103 deg TEXAS summer.
I had to say, “No really - I don’t mean it’s cooler HERE!”.
We’re having an atrocious summer in Scotland as well. July and the temperature is around 60 in the day. People are still wearing their jackets.
