Congress is having hearings right now on NOAA's alteration of climate records to "disprove" the hiatus in global warming. Unsurprisngly, the Obama administration is stonewalling the investigation and refusing to turn over emails. etc pursuant to a congressional subpoena. The suspicion is the scientists' emails will reveal another scandal like the East Anglia plot to discredit skeptics. Unfortunatley, this weak congress, lead by corprate lackeys, lacks to teh will to enforce the subpoenas. Their only recourse, without confronting Obama, which of course they are afraid to do, is to hold the agency head in contempt. But enforcing the contempt citation requires court action and that requires the cooperation of the Justice Department which, in the past, has arguably tried to facilitate coverups.

There WAS no East Anglia "scandal" you idiot. And this is nothing but fucking conservative morons trying to impede and harass scientists who are only trying to do science. They should continue to say "fuck you " to these obstructionist assholes. I hope they don't do shit for these idiots.
October Obliterated Heat Records
The month was so hot that 2015 now has a 99.9 percent probability of being the hottest year on record.

"Shockingly high temperatures in October all but guarantee that 2015 will be the world's hottest year ever recorded.
"Last month was the warmest October ever recorded -- and the sixth straight month to set record temperatures. It also was the first month to surpass the average temperature by more than 1 degree Celsius, new NASA data revealed Tuesday.
"October was 1.04 degrees Celsius, or about 1.87 degrees Fahrenheit, hotter than the base period of 1951 to 1980 used as a reference to measure the long-term average, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies reported. That marks the greatest departure from a month's average heat since weather record-keeping began in 1880, beating January 2007 as the most anomalous month by 0.07 degrees Celsius.
"October's heat means there's a 99.9 percent chance that 2015 will claim 2014's title as the hottest year on record, GISS director Gavin Schmidt tweeted.
"Surpassing the 1-degree mark is significant, The Washington Post notes, because it puts the Earth halfway to the "internationally accepted limit for avoiding the worst consequences of climate change," such as drought, mass migration and superstorms. Putting a stop to climate change before it reaches the 2-degree milestone is the main goal of the Paris Climate Summit kicking off Nov. 3.
"October's heat comes in a banner year of record-breaking weather events. July was the hottest month ever recorded. In the United States this year, Florida recorded its hottest March to May. California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Washington all logged their hottest Junes."

and what does it mean if oct 2016 is not the hottest month in history?
WASHINGTON — The Senate voted on Tuesday to block President Obama’s tough new climate change regulations, hoping to undermine his negotiating authority before a major international climate summit meeting in Paris this month.
The Senate resolution, which passed 52 to 46, would scuttle a rule that would significantly cut heat-trapping carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants. That Environmental Protection Agency rule, released in August, is the centerpiece of Mr. Obama’s efforts to address climate change. A second resolution, which also passed 52 to 46, would strike a related E.P.A. rule intended to freeze construction of future coal-fired power plants.
Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, said the regulations part were part of President Obama's "war on coal."
