Anyone can cherry pick data to show what they want to show.
Today promises to be a record hot day in Fairbanks. 80-90. Yesterday was 79 in the shade. This is probably due to the Clinton/McCain global warming field trip to Alaska.
Summer will be over soon, then we can start global cooling in the northern hemisphere.
Summer temperatures have risen sharply in most west European capital cities over the past 30 years,
No sh*t sherlocks! This proves NOTHING. This effect is well known, often called the Urban Heat Dome effect. Freaking idiots, of COURSE the greenies are going to claim this as proof of GW, the media really needs to get another point of view out there. This is a serious issue that deserves some real facts, truth, and perspective, sheesh..
Wasn't it warmer in Europe during Roman times....then cooled...
I'm not about to draw conclusions from 10 years worth of data over a thirty year period, which accounts for only .00000075% of the earth's climatic history.
The global warning rats always come out in the summer where people are more apt to feed them.
In the freezing cold winter, they crawl back into their nests, keep their lying jaws shut for fear their propaganda will be exposed, and wait for their next chance to feed on the ignorant again in the spring.
The Earth goes through natural cycles. It has nothing to do with us. Get used to it.

The news story said "European capital cities". The reason for the elevated temperature is self-evident: There too many politicians bloviating.
If there were to be a truly serious effort to have an accurate understanding of temperatures minus local reradiation effects and power dissipation effects, then we'd see funding of the installation of remote controlled weather stations on mountain tops, on remote uninhabited islands and in the middles of deserts. Instead, the doomers waste money on papers to prove their agenda and on endless computer simulations that are rigged. Cut them off now!
Those cities have expanded dramatically in the last 30 years. Where I lived, 30 years ago there was one city and several surrounding small towns separated by lots of farm land. Now it's all connected with miles and miles of roads and parking lots.
I wonder if all that heat-absorbing asphalt has anything to do with higher local temperatures.
The Rock says "Know your role, and shut your mouth!"
Another study done shows that it is SUMMER.

Hundreds of Global Warming warnings all over Google all about organizations that could not exist were it not for private and government funding. The Publish or Parish mentality overrides real scientific fact; Global Warming is a natural phenomenon it comes and goes there is little we can do about it, if anything at all however to keep the money flowing into various programs linked however loosely to Global Warming, think UN, the propaganda will continue with one headline after another about catastrophic global change all designed to scare the un-initiated and woefully uninformed.
