Two comments:

1. If any Leftie brings this up at any gathering you attend today, wager them that the record will not be broken. Do this even if you believe there might be global warming. The reason is that we are only 24 days into the month. From a pure statistical perspective, the chance that it will remain hot enough through the end of the month to break a 300-year old outlier is slim.

(David Ortiz is on a pace where he just might hit more home runs than Babe Ruth's old record, and Joe Mauer right now is batting close to .400 and just might be one of the few ever to achieve that level. But folks, don't hold your breaths.)

2. There are 12 months in a year and 7 contintents. The chances are basically one in three that during one month this year a 300-year old record will be broken somewhere in the world -- even if the weather is entirely random.

These global warming folks are pathetic.

So how do they explain the hot temperatures 300 years ago?

Your two comments are right on, and there is a third: You could hardly call it "global warming" when we've merely caught up to where we were three hundred years ago.

Then WHY was it so HOT there 300 years ago? I was just there and it was nice and cool. Went to the beach in July at Den Hague. NICE and COOL there!

Well, the Sun is currently at it's brightest for the past 1000 years.

Please, read the article on more time and you should read this :

"Dutch meteorologists say they cannot make a direct link between global warming and the heatwave in Europe"

Fricking 72 degrees? I'd kill for that! It's looking to be about 97 in the shade here today with 90+% humidity. Oh well, glad I moved south. It was 101 in Helena, Montana on Sunday.

Does anyone have that graph showing the decline of the number of pirates vs increasing temperatures.

Very funny.

This is not happening in a vacuum. Odds are that Belgium, Luxembourg, Britain, France, and Germany are flirting with similar record heat.

That's nothing. A few years ago the LSM had "THE HOTTEST DAY IN 50 MILLION YEARS!!!!" The next day most of them retracted their statements a little with statements about how measuring wasn't really very accurate going back that far (only because so many people called in about it). One person who didn't retract his declaration of doom? Yep, Dan Rather.

Wasn't last winter one of the coldest in decades in Europe and N. Asia?

I remember reading that Siberia and China were colder than in many yrs.

Guess it averages out.

"July hottest month in Netherlands in 300 years"

And if the hottest month HAD been 300 years ago, we'd be in a COOLING trend, right?

Things change. Cope.
