They will have problems convincing the people in Colorado.

More crap reporting from the AP

[bjc]

Don't be alarmed. It is an AP report, which means that it is about as scientific as a story in National Lampoon.

Sorry, that should have read hottest January ever.

Records show January the hottest ever, thanks to El Niño and
global warming, scientists say

Those scientist haven't been in Mid-Missouri during Jan 15-Feb 15 2007.

We haven't seen 32 degrees F but one or two days in this time.

Today, it was 15 deg. at mid-day in Columbia, MO.

It's FREAKIN' COLD!

These scientist aren't retards.
They are geniuses at cherry-picking and DENIAL.

[Sir Gawain]

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.

It was.

I call BS.

"! I can't remember where they said it was though."

Nepal.

[VOA]

My evidence: some Mexican-Sort-Of-Americans I've had some business
dealings with recently here in Mid-Missouri contacted me today.

"We're moving back to California!"

I didn't ask, but I suspect the Jan 15 to Feb 15 month of sub-freezing
temperatures (with a WEIRD one-day break into the low 50s) probably told
these folks it's time to get the H-ll out of Missouri.

[Faith]

Let's talk about February.

The hottest ever?

Well, the snow plow sure has been active this winter. I guess one can get "hot" shovelling the walkways.

Only if there is GRANT MONEY involved, you see we must fund the STUDY because ALGORE says so.

There is NO MONEY available without a manufactured Crisis, very similar to the Manufactured Healthcare Crisis we have now, we didn't have one... involve the Government... now we have one.

Socialism ruins everything it touches

"They will have problems convincing the people in Colorado."

In the hills above Golden, my daughter's horses were tromping through snow up to their hackles in January.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Someone evidently forgot to copy Antarctica on the global warming memo:

There is NO MONEY available without a manufactured Crisis

I spent a decade or so in academia.

While the researchers in academia do a lot of good, I learned that
the collateral down-side was just what you described.

"Imagineer" a crisis and gettin LOTS of grant money for it certainly seemed
to be a fast-track to tenure.

[dalereed]

San Diego had it's 5th coldest January in 65 years, my gas bill was double what it was in December and even December was exceptionally cold.

It's physically impossible for the average temperature on land and water to suddenly jump by 1.53 degrees in one year. This story is either not being reported correctly, or the average temperature doesn't include temperature measurements in more remote areas of the ocean which were lower than normal.

[EyeGuy]

Records show January the hottest ever....



I've got issues with "ever".

What arrogance from scientists who cannot even provide a reliable weather forecast 3 days into the future.

Yep, I'm feudin' with the word "ever".

[metmom]

As much of the United States already knows, February doesn't seem as unusually warm as January was.

No, DUH!!! It's hardly broken 20 all month.

[defenderSD]

There no way, zero chance, that the average temperature of the earth on land and water suddenly jumped by 1.53 degrees in one year. I can't believe some of the stuff that journalists write these days.
