2014 was a summer sizzler: Earth's hottest on record

The planet just had its hottest summer on record, according to data released Thursday by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center. It's also well on its way to having its hottest year ever, beating 2010, said climate scientist Jake Crouch of the data center.

The global temperature for summer was 1.28 degrees above the 20th-century average of 61.5 degrees.

Records go back to 1880. Climatologists define summer in the Northern Hemisphere as the months of June, July and August.

August temperatures set overall records as well, the climate center reported. The world's oceans were also very warm and had the largest departure from average of any month.

It was the 38th consecutive August (and 354th consecutive month) that saw a global average temperature above historic averages. The last below-average August was in 1976.

NEW YORK: Center stage for climate change next week

For the year to-date, fueled in part by warmth in the oceans, 2014 is the third-warmest year on record. According to Crouch, the only land area on the planet that's been cooler than average this year has been the central and eastern U.S.

How much fake phony computer generated simulated data did they have to include to come to this ridiculous conclusion.

Records go all the way back to 1880. Wow! 134 years of data for a planet that is billions of years old. Statistically insignificant by any measure.

Last below average was 1976. Yep, I recall the hysteria surrounding that number. If I remember correctly that number was the "evidence" that the earth would be frozen over by now. Annnnnnd...here we are a wee bit warmer and the only thing the cultists can come up with is that the climate is changing. To conclude this you need an army of PHD's in junk science. Impressive. Your data/their data is patently absurd if you're trying to say that you can in any way, shape, or form use it as a predictive model. It's like saying that I know where the DOW will be a 100 years from now based on the last tick, and only that tick. It's just too ridiculous to take seriously.

So then, according to you, the longer a certain stock has been trading the less significant the recent daily chart is. Wow, that's some kind of logic. I hope you don't use charts in your trading.

The stupidity of you denialists never ceases to amaze me.

No, what I'm saying is that a millisecond of time has absolutely no value as a predictive model in climate, stocks, or anything else. Your 134 years of data is totally useless. It has absolutely no value. It tells us nothing of substance. It cannot, will not, can never be of any use to predict anything. It has proven to be totally wrong in the past,(climate getting colder), it is wrong now and will continue to be wrong because the data is so completely insignificant in the overall scheme of things.

If you or I are smart enough to put a satellite in orbit around Mars, like NASA...

Then we're possibly qualified to speak to NASA's opinion on global warming.

This is not to say the argument is always won by the smartest person,
"but that is the way to bet."
:D
 
might this have something to do with the warm oceans.

my fishing friends tell me the fleet in san diego only has to go out a few miles to hit awesome fishing conditions. Where typically they have to go very far south.
