Somehow the LA Times forgot about 1934 being the hottest year on record and with the record cold we experienced in December 2008 can hardly be a record warm year either. These are just made up “facts” to bolster the global warming cult.
WE also had one helluva cool rainy spring in 2008 here in SE NY and the summer was average I would say as far as temps. with the obligatory heat wave for effect.
I really find this pronouncement hard to believe.
