Average 2010 Temp 1 Deg Below "Normal"

Amazing. NOAA (and their buddies at NASA) always try to play the manmade climate change game, but read the last paragraph too. I've bolded the most interesting parts.

The main culprit behind the cold temperatures in December 2010 was the same one which caused the cold winter of 2009-2010; a strongly negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO). When these atmospheric oscillations are in the strong negative phase, they essentially “flip” the weather pattern across North America, with upper-level high pressure and relative warmth over Greenland and Northeastern Canada and upper-level low pressure and cold over the eastern Continental United States, including Florida (Figure 1). This pattern forces the jet stream to plunge south from northern Canada into the southeastern U.S., transporting Arctic air masses into Florida.

***

As mentioned above, South Florida experienced its hottest summer on record in 2010 (with the exception of Naples which recorded its second hottest recorded summer). Despite the record hot summer, average yearly temperatures at the main climate sites will end up around 1 degree below normal, which will be the coolest calendar year since the early and mid 1980s, and among the top 10 on record (except for Miami). At secondary sites Miami Beach and Moore Haven, it was the coolest year on record (please note caveat below table).

What summer? What about "what global warming?," LA Times?

This schmuckatellis will never get it. They're complete morons.

Unusually cold temperatures in Southern California continued, with Los Angeles International Airport setting a record low on Friday.

LAX got to only 67 degrees, breaking a record set in 1926, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures are expected to stay fairly cool Saturday, with highs around 70 on the coast and in the 80s inland. Conditions will be a bit warmer on Sunday, according to the weather service.

July has turned out to be cooler than normal.

34th Coolest Summer on Record

More empirical data mounts. But...GASP...we must do something RIGHT AWAY!!! (Before you all figure out what a load of crap this global warming is).

The average June-August 2009 summer temperature for the contiguous United States was below average – the 34th coolest on record, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. August was also below the long-term average. The analysis is based on records dating back to 1895.

Gore's Hometown: Record Cold July

And as Drudge so eloquently put it, Nashville is Al Gore's hometown. LOL! Empirical evidence is destined to deal this scam a deathblow.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Cool weather has broken a previous low temperature for July 21 in Nashville that was set when Rutherford B. Hayes was president.

When the temperature at the National Weather Service station dipped to 58 degrees at 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, it wiped out the previous record low for the date of 60 degrees, which was set in 1877.

Empirical Cold Continues Into Summer

More and more empirical evidence stories that continue the steady drone of the AGW myth's demise. In North Dakota:

With a summer like this, you can`t tell my Dad there`s global warming.

"I think Al Gore and his group should be out here and tell us about this global warming stuff. I think he might have a change of mind. We`ve had a cool July,” says Orlan Dreyer, Willow City Farmer

July mornings aren`t supposed to be 50 degrees, but once again today, we`re seeing temperatures well below normal. With two inches of rain on my wheat crop in the last two weeks, we have plenty of moisture to carry us for awhile.

[From On The Farm: Nick`s Wheat on KFYR-TV North Dakota's NBC News Leader]

Same story in Wisconsin:  

If you have plans to visit a waterpark on Friday, the trip could be more chilling than thrilling.
Record low high temperatures are forecast for southern Wisconsin on Friday as a very cool Canadian air mass covers the region.

The high on Friday is only expected to be in the low 60s, which would be under the record coldest high temperature in Madison for July 17 of 67 degrees, set in 1900.

Unusually Cool NYC

More empirical evidence. More media blind eyes, except for the weather reporters. Once again, only the empirical data that backs up the theory of global warming is reported. Any contrary evidence is ignored. <whistle, whistle…go away cool June New York City—you’re supposed to be hot right now!>

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY, 1 Jul 09

THIS JUNE IS TIED FOR THE 8TH COOLEST ON RECORD. THE AVERAGE

TEMPERATURE WAS 67.5...3.7 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...WHICH ALSO

OCCURRED IN 1897.


THIS WAS THE COOLEST JUNE SINCE 1958...WHEN THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE

WAS 67.2 DEGREES.


BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES OCCURRED ON 23 OUT OF 30 DAYS THIS

JUNE...OR 75 PERCENT OF THE MONTH.


CENTRAL PARK HAS NOT HIT 90 DEGREES IN THE MONTH OF JUNE THIS YEAR.

Obama: Climate Damage Currently Happening

Bull-f’ing-shiza! What about the current June snow storms? Don’t believe ANY of this garbage! Just remember that it’s politically-motivated. See how the White House climate status report “contains NO NEW RESEARCH.” This means that the assessment is based on someone’s belief or empirical evidence, and all empirical evidence I’ve seen lately seems to point to global COOLING.

Just remember why they’ve got to convince everyone to be afraid; they need support to take action, which means you WILL PAY…in one way or another.

U.S.: Climate Change Damage Happening Now

Harmful effects from global warming are already here and worsening, warns the first climate report from Barack Obama's presidency in the strongest language on climate change ever to come out of the White House.

Global warming has already caused more heavy downpours, the rise of temperatures and sea levels, rapidly retreating glaciers and altered river flows, according to the document released Tuesday by the White House science adviser and other top officials.

"There are in some cases already serious consequences," report co-author Anthony Janetos of the University of Maryland told The Associated Press. "This is not a theoretical thing that will happen 50 years from now. Things are happening now."

The White House document -- a climate status report required periodically by Congress -- contains no new research.

June Winter Storm Hits NJ

Of course, it just keeps getting better and better; empirical evidence only points to cooling as of late, and the media keeps silent. Is it just me or does it seem as if they Universe is trying to slap all the arrogant environmentalists upside their heads?

June Winter Wonderland In New Jersey?

Hail Storm Pounds Parts Of Garden State With Several Inches; Residents Watch In Amazement As Plows Clear Streets

Parts of New Jersey were pummeled by a massive hail storm on Monday afternoon, leaving it looking as if a June blizzard blew through with inches of dime-sized pellets piling up.

Washington Township residents were seen on their driveways breaking out the snow shovels and officials sent out bulldozers to act as snow plows to clear the streets after severe thunderstorms pounded the region. Children were seen forming hailballs.

Illinois Has Record Cold June

Is anyone out there awake? Is anyone else seeing all this? Pounds upon pounds of empirical evidence stack up like cord wood every year, and no one is even the slightest bit swayed against this global warming stupidity?

On the contrary, everyone on the planet is ready to do a little zombie chant and follow BHO right over a cliff; we’ll obviously do anything he says, so long as he looks and sounds good when he says it.

I swear this is that 1984 Apple Super Bowl commercial; yes, that trendy nod to George Orwell, except that I’m waiting for the runner to sprint in and launch her sledgehammer at Obama and Gore on the giant screen.

It’s time to stop being media-entranced sheep, my fellow Earthlings.

So far, June's chill is one for the records

The cloudy, chilly and rainy open to June here has been the talk of the town. So far this June is running more than 12 degrees cooler than last year, and the clouds, rain and chilly lake winds have been persistent. The average temperature at O'Hare International Airport through Friday has been only 59.5 degrees: nearly 7 degrees below normal and the coldest since records there began 50 years ago.

Canadian June Frosts

More empirical evidence that the will media ignore as it relates to warming. The words “global warming” or “climate change” don’t appear anywhere in the article, and notice how HARMFUL the late cold is for the crops. But liberal scientists want us to believe they can cool our planet down with all sorts of silly gimmicks, like painting roofs white. Apparently, playing god with the weather would have unintended consequences, although it’s IMPOSSIBLE for them to control the weather.

Each day marks another milestone in the idiocy of this green climate scam; it’s so obviously a fraud, but the fanatics will hang on to the bitter end.

Canada frosts the most widespread in recent memory

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - The multiple frosts that have blanketed Western Canada in the last week are the most widespread in the top canola-growing province of Saskatchewan in at least five years, the Canola Council of Canada said on Tuesday.

***

The downside of the cool weather is that it has left crops in general well behind schedule, he said. The Alberta canola crop is two to three weeks behind development, Pauly said, while the Canadian Wheat Board estimated on Monday that Western Canada wheat and barley crops are at least 10 days behind.

‘Year Without Summer’ in Northeast?

Lots of June cold records recently, and we see this from AccuWeather. Yep, the globe sure is warming…NOT!

Recent Upswing in Lightning

One of the reasons for this could be colder-than-normal weather across the northern tier of the country that has suppressed the number of thunderstorms and has significantly reduced the number of tornadoes this year. The number of reported tornadoes so far this year is 685, just over half of the average annual amount, which is 1,297.

According to Long Range Expert Joe Bastardi, areas from the northern Plains into the Northeast will have a "year without a summer."

Cold weather offers no respite for U.S.

Dr EvilHas winter even officially started yet?

Ironic really. The same news organization--The Ass. Press (abbreviation intentional)--that must report this brutal winter weather also sent out global warming fear tripe earlier this week, in attempts to dissuade us from concluding that global warming isn't happening because of all this darn cold. Reading this story reminds me so much of LAST WINTER and EVEN LAST SPRING! Heck, how 'bout LAST SUMMER?! Wonder if the North Pole melted like media reports predicted? I didn't hear anything more of it.

Don't worry...global warming doesn't always cause such cold winters! (This was from last year too.) LOL!

In the words of the immortal Dr. Evil:

"R-i-g-h-t!"

No respite as wintry storms spread over nation - Taunton Gazett (AP):

Freezing air blanketed much of the nation Tuesday, making roads hazardous in Texas and slowing recovery from ice storm blackouts in New England, in the second day of a bitter cold wave.

Temperatures were 20 below zero and lower across the northern Plains, and a band of snow, freezing rain and sleet stretched from Kansas along the Ohio Valley to Maine.

Dozens of schools closed in Kentucky and Tennessee because of slippery roads and salt truck crews started working before dawn. Up to a half-foot of snow had fallen in parts of Kentucky.

"It's pretty treacherous," said Jodi Shacklette, a Kentucky State Police dispatcher in Elizabethtown. "We're working wrecks just left and right."

No sunspots in Aug 2008! First in 100 years!

Hey AGW-believing morons...it's real simple: Sun cools, Earth cools. Sun heats up, Earth heats up.

Interesting how we've had such a cool summer and record cold previous winter...

This is such poetic justice; writhe and wiggle, Al Gore! But remember, we skeptics are just 'seizing on a cold spell to debunk global warming.' Puh-leaze! AGW is debunking itself just fine, thank you.

DailyTech - Sun Makes History: First Spotless Month in a Century:

Drop in solar activity has potential effect for climate on earth.

The sun has reached a milestone not seen for nearly 100 years: an entire month has passed without a single visible sunspot being noted.

The event is significant as many climatologists now believe solar magnetic activity – which determines the number of sunspots -- is an influencing factor for climate on earth.

According to data from Mount Wilson Observatory, UCLA, more than an entire month has passed without a spot. The last time such an event occurred was June of 1913. Sunspot data has been collected since 1749.

When the sun is active, it's not uncommon to see sunspot numbers of 100 or more in a single month. Every 11 years, activity slows, and numbers briefly drop to near-zero. Normally sunspots return very quickly, as a new cycle begins.

But this year -- which corresponds to the start of Solar Cycle 24 -- has been extraordinarily long and quiet, with the first seven months averaging a sunspot number of only 3. August followed with none at all. The astonishing rapid drop of the past year has defied predictions, and caught nearly all astronomers by surprise.

Record MN frost in August

LOL! Where is the global warming? Late August and we see frost? Why can’t AGW warm us up, since CO2 keeps going up? Hello? Bueller? <cricket, cricket>

Up North may see patchy frost tonight | JSOnline:

Here's some news you probably hoped you wouldn't hear for another four months.

The National Weather Service says areas of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin could see patchy frost this weekend. That's right, patchy frost in August.

The weather agency says clear skies could allow temperatures to dip into the low to mid-30s late tonight into early Monday.

Meteorologist Roman Berdes says an unusual cold-air mass from Canada will bring lower temperatures, but warmer air from the central Midwest should replace it by Monday.

Berdes says these temperatures are uncommon but not unheard of. He says those areas saw temperatures in the 20s at this point in 2004.

In the Milwaukee area, today's forecast calls for a high of 75 today and a low tonight of 54.

Alaska experiencing normal, COOL summer

Lol-2Ha ha ha...this is so funny and cool (literally and figuratively) that I can hardly stand it! Alaska is experiencing a DARN COLD SUMMER, and the people there are bummed: They want the warm '04 and '05 summer again. LOL!

I guess global warming is taking a break, just as the alarmists "retroactively predicted," since this past record winter killed people worldwide from extreme cold, ice, and snow. The record cold winter in China and elsewhere was attributed to "brief cold," but we see that the cold of last winter continued through spring 2008 (where AGW was supposed to 'rush spring') and well into this summer.

I call this media reversal a cover story; it's climate revisionism, designed to hold on to the AGW pipe dream until the temperatures go back up again. Then they can continue the scare campaign (which they've never abandoned). LOL! How can they abandon it? If they go back now and admit the truth, what's left of their reputations will be completely in the toilet.

Let's not forget how we've actually had these lunatics claim that the harsh, cooler weather is caused by warming. Yes, that's why they now favor the term "manmade climate change" over the once ubiquitous "manmade global warming."

This is empirical evidence, of course, but the alarmists have no problem pointing out record warmth (and anything else weird in the weather) as proof of global warming. However, this AK summer weather is NORMAL, so it's tough to call it a troubling climate signal. We realists are just giving them a taste of their own stupid medicine.

See here where Charlotte, NC just had a RECORD-SETTING COLD JULY 2008!

Oh, and scientifically-speaking, don't clouds HOLD IN warmth, since water is a powerful greenhouse gas?

Chill out -- it's just a normal cool summer: Anchorage | adn.com:

Sunny days of '04 and '05 spoiled us, experts say

By MONIQUE NEWTON mnewton@adn.com Published: July 15th, 2008 12:01 AM Last Modified: July 15th, 2008 05:47 PM

People are exchanging their flip-flops and shorts for close-toed shoes and fleece more than usual this summer.

The cool, gloomy weather is almost as hot a topic in town as steep gas prices.

But forecasters and climatologists say that while temperatures are below average, they aren't reaching any notable extremes. Problem is, the gray skies over Southcentral this year are following several years of pretty nice weather.

"I think there's a perception thing because there's been a lot of cloud cover this summer," said Sam Albanese, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Anchorage.

"Really what's happening this year is nothing extraordinary. ... It's just that '04 and '05 were so (warm and sunny) ... and it's so fresh in people's memories that people think, 'Wow, this is so cold.' "

Russians evacuate melting ice chunk

Talk about a far-reaching claim! These guys decided to pitch a tent on a floating chunk of ice in September of last year (as we started to have that record cold season we weren't supposed to have), and now they’re surprised the ice chunk is melting in the midst of summer? Notice that they were going to evacuate it anyway. Why? Because IT WAS GOING TO MELT ANYWAY! Very deceptive, these alarmist-advocates.

That last sentence is just retarded. I don’t know how these morons transcend the considerable gulf between “melting ice in July” and “global warming.” Yes, warmth melts ice, but relative warmth is normal in the Arctic at this time of year. Therefore, more warmth equals less ice. Duh! The question: is CO2 causing the warming that's melting the ice? No. The summer is causing the warming that's melting the ice!

I predicted that the alarmists would take the normal heat of summer and turn it into the global warming boogeyman; it’s opportunism at its finest. It’s easier for the advocates to convince the sheep that there’s manmade global warming when it’s actually warm outside due to summer...especially when ice melts.

Scientists Evacuate Research Station Built on Ice Due to Global Warming

MOSCOW — Russian scientists are evacuating a research station built on an Arctic ice floe because global warming has melted the ice to a fraction of its original size, a spokesman said.

The North Pole-35 station, where 21 researchers and two dogs live in huts, will be taken off the floe in the western Arctic Ocean this week instead of in late August as originally planned, said Sergei Balyasnikov of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute in St. Petersburg.

The research crew landed in early September on the 1.2- by 2.5-mile floe near the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago. During its westward drift of more than 1,550 miles, the floe shrank to just 1,000 by 2,000 feet.

"The evacuation is ahead of schedule because of global warming," Balyasnikov said.

Ski resorts open into May!

LOL! Ski resorts running into May 2008 due to the “blessings of Mother Nature.” How is this even possible? Warming causes cooling, remember? And don't forget, warming rushes spring and 2008 will be the hottest year on record (and other silly predictions that didn't come true).

Brundage Mountain extends ski season into May | KTVB.COM | Idaho News:

McCALL -- Near-record snowfall and low spring temperatures are creating ideal conditions at Brundage Mountain Resort. Resort officials announced today that they will be open for a third bonus weekend in May.

The resort is currently closed on weekdays, and had planned this Saturday and Sunday to be the final ski weekend of the season, but that was before 10 inches of fresh powder fell this week. Now, resort managers have decided to be open on May 3rd and 4th.

News Flash: It will be hot this summer!!!

I knew this would happen. It's much easier to convince people there is warming when it's warm outside; get thee behind me awful winter...and hurry! Of course, this flies in the face of other predictions that state we're in for a cooling spell.

Read below and see if you can't pick out what's missing. They've let slip a nasty little secret and tried to bury it in a way that you wouldn't notice--the temperatures (again, if you believe their baseline) stopped warming in 1998!!! (That's 10 years ago people.)

Summer forecast hot for Europe | Environment | Reuters
:

But, because of global warming, both winter and summer temperatures over the last few years have been above the long-term average of the three decades running up to 2000.

Global temps to DECREASE??!!

Earth La Nina is believed by some to have caused this year’s drastic cooling, but this also means one must accept that 1998’s considerable warming (baseline assumed correct) was artificially spiked by El Nino (not AGW). I’m personally not convinced by either “La Nina” or “El Nino.” These unruly siblings of Pacific water temperature antagonism have almost become revisionist excuses to backtrack on failed climate and weather predictions, like the recent “awful hurricane seasons” that failed to materialize (i.e., global warming is being offset by La Nina, and thus, weaker hurricanes). And let’s not forget the failed prediction about the temperature this winter (it was going to be REALLY WARM), remember? And if 1998 has been the warmest, why didn’t we have the “worst” hurricanes that year (instead of the horrible 2005)?

Okay, so they’re reluctantly admitting that global warming ended 10 YEARS AGO! Are you zombie-sheep out there getting that message, which certain groups (media, political elements, scientists with agendas, etc.) are trying desperately to frame in antithetical verbiage (such as espoused throughout most of the article below) that holds on to the global warming farce?

Now, here in this article is another prediction from a so-called “expert.” His prediction is that after La Nina is over, our global temperature will rise back up and surpass 1998’s high; again, that’s if you believe the baseline that marks 1998 as the year containing the highest global mean temperature. So, let’s keep this prediction in mind as we watch time go by. What will you believers do when this prediction fails as so many others have?

Will it be like Al Gore’s prediction that we’re doomed within 10 years due to AGW (prediction issued in January 2006)? Will it be like any of the countless other doomsday predictions, or even the recent one from the British Chicken Little? Will it be like the prediction that (after Katrina) we were going to have stronger and stronger cyclones due to global warming (which didn’t happen and has sense been discounted)?

Or could it be that all this global warming nonsense has been taking us all for a giant BS ride? Time and truth will cast their verdict. I believe they have already cast their verdict. The temperature HAS NOT surpassed the so-called “high” of 1998 in 10 years; this past year we had a record-shattering winter season, and global temperatures plummeted well below the mean (again, if you believe their baseline—which they just want us to blindly accept as completely unflawed).

And these two articles below are very strange, because just recently we saw this.

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Global temperatures 'to decrease':

This would mean that temperatures have not risen globally since 1998 when El Nino warmed the world.

A minority of scientists question whether this means global warming has peaked and argue the Earth has proved more resilient to greenhouse gases than predicted.

But Mr Jarraud insisted this was not the case and noted that 2008 temperatures would still be well above average for the century.

"When you look at climate change you should not look at any particular year," he said. "You should look at trends over a pretty long period and the trend of temperature globally is still very much indicative of warming.

Mr Scaife told the BBC: "What's happened now is that La Nina has come along and depressed temperatures slightly but these changes are very small compared to the long-term climate change signal, and in a few years time we are confident that the current record temperature of 1998 will be beaten when the La Nina has ended."

FOXNews.com - U.N. Forecasters: Global Temperatures to Decrease - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News:
The World Meteorological Organisation's secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, said it was likely that La Nina, an abnormal cooling of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, would continue into the summer.

If the forecast holds true, global temperatures will not have risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.

Prince Charles: Deniers are insane

Okay, the goon who dumped Princess Diana for Camilla is calling us skeptics mad? Need I say more?

Trinidad News:

Sheer madness.

That's how Prince Charles described skeptics who view calls for rapid action to counter climate change as overstated or completely invented.

Charles was speaking at a dinner reception hosted by President George Maxwell Richards and his wife Dr Jean Ramjohn-Richards at President's House, St Ann's on Wednesday night which was also attended by his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Meanwhile, during the same news week, we have another attempt to diffuse the scrutiny against AGW because of the worldwide, record-setting winter we've had this year...

Record warm winter for northern Europe - San Jose Mercury News:

STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Icebreakers sit idle in ports. Insects crawl out of forest hideouts. Daffodils sprout up from green lawns.

Winter ended before it started in Europe's north, where record-high temperatures have people wondering whether it's a fluke or an ominous sign of a warming world.

"It's the warmest winter ever" recorded, said John Ekwall of the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.
In December, January and February, the average temperature in Stockholm was 36 degrees—the highest on record since record-keeping began in 1756.

The same week, Australia suffers a summer that was TOO COOL:

Bloomberg.com:

March 5 (Bloomberg) -- Sydney residents and tourists are cursing La Nina as the harbor city says goodbye to the summer that wasn't.

While the La Nina weather pattern is delivering rain to farmers after the worst drought in a century, it's cutting profits for cafe owners, travel agents and insurers. Insurance Australia Group Ltd., the nation's largest home insurer, last week posted a sixth straight profit decline after hail storms cost it A$105 million ($97 million). The yearly `Symphony in the Park,' which usually attracts 80,000 people, had 700 this year as the orchestra played behind a tarpaulin during a downpour.

No day topped 31 degrees celsius (88 degrees fahrenheit) for the first time since 1956. Average daily sunshine totaled 6.7 hours, an hour less than normal and the lowest since 1991-92. The average maximum temperature was 25.2, the coolest since 1996-97.

``Suddenly we get one cool, wet summer and everyone's complaining,'' said De Salis.
