I have it, they are claiming it is the warmest year worldwide, while the US has the coolest summer on record.
Still can’t believe a dang thing they say, but I have finally accepted that liberalism IS a mental disorder.
Had an ex-coworker comment on how fabulous Obama was while posting a sychophantic article about his Afghanistan speech. I disagreed and he said that “unemployment was topping out and the stimulus is working!” I replied that I hardly called a .2% decline DURING CHRISTMAS SEASON a ‘topping out’ and I had no proof the stimulus was working. He hasn’t replied back.
I thought that might be the case ... but the US cuts through a pretty large chunk of the Northern Latitudes, and I didn't hear any stories this summer of Parisian Grandmas and Grandpas dropping like flies as they were abandoned by their Ne'er do well wine sipping offspring - who went off to 'holiday' on the beaches as the old folks croaked in their sweltering apartments...So I assume Europe didn't set any heat records. I didn't hear anything unusual out of Russia and China either - but I don't follow them too closely so I can't vouch that they didn't have unusual hot spells...But I doubt it...
I suppose 'its possible' ... but given the propensity for these guys to lie - I'm thinking that this is just more flim-flam...
Yeah, that's the new "meme". It turns out that from the "climate models", the only parts of the planet that are suffering from cooling are North America and Europe. Coincidentally, those just happen to be the two places which have the best and most monitoring equipment, and in which the raw data are most likely to be available to the public (and "rogue scientists") who might question its validity. Strangely enough, the only places suffering large warming trends are remote areas where monitoring (and fact-checking) possibilities are scarce.
My diagnosis---more "cooking the books".
