So in other words the deep freeze this month over much of the country proves the opposite?

I read that other parts of the world were having record cold in January, especially the Netherlands.

The scientists went beyond their normal doublechecking and took the unusual step of running computer climate models just to make sure that what we're seeing was real, Easterling said. What?

February seems to be making up for it, at least around here.
It seems to me the seasons have skewed around somehow. I've been noticing that for years. It takes longer to get cold, and then the cold lasts longer than it used to. Same with summer weather.

I'm wondering if these are average world temperatures for January they're talking about.
In January 1994, Southern California had Summer temperatures right up to the date of the Northridge quake. As I recall, there were several Santa Ana winds episodes throughout the entire month of January 1994.

"Spurred on by unusually warm Siberia, Canada, northern Asia and Europe, the world's land areas were 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than a normal January"
That's why we have averages. Temperatures flucuate to extremes. Annecdotal examples are useless

Temperature records break regularly with global warming, Trenberth said, but with a little bit of El Niño thrown in, you don't just break records, you smash records.If I didn't know better, I'd think that they were trying to cover for the fact that their models were off, too.
Here's a climatologist trying to prove that every odd number is prime:
3 is a prime number. Check.
5. Prime.
7. Prime.
9...experimental error.
11. Prime
13. Prime.
Well, that's enough. All odd numbers are prime.

This El Nino is forecast to be gone by the end of March. That gives it plenty of time ahead of the beginning of hurricane season. It will be a very active hurricane season with no El Nino this year.

This is great news. Siberia, as everyone knows, is colder than hell. Thank God they're getting some relief.
I have some friends in the Ukraine. They couldn't be happier that they're not freezing to death in January.
Is there a downside to this?

The unusually warm temperatures were do to El Nino. Seriously, how much of a difference could global warming make in one year?
