Los Angeles had one of their coldest summers on record, with below normal temperatures nearly every day.

Joe Romm found only one day of the summer interesting. Can you guess which one?
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Waiting for Brendon and Dikran to defend this as not chery picking. Should be interesting to say the lease. LOL
Who’s Romm? Is he a climate scientist like Steve is?
Brendon, why do you always come across as a snarky?
As climate science must obey the physical laws of nature any physicist, engineer, chemist, etc can follow the science behind climate science and tell whether something makes sense or not.
I donot know if Mr. Goddard is a climate scientist or not, but so far he has not posted anything I can find unscientific. I donot know nor much care what your degree is in but if you dispute the science behind something posted then please state what it is but please stop with the juevenile comments.
Brendon, for once can you play the ball and not the man? The question is “is it cherry picking?” Not what it Romm’s (or Steve’s) climate credentials. You’ve spectacularily failed to answer the question with you ad hom.
And no doubt you regularly post criticisms of Romm, Gore and all the other non-scientific alarmists when they make their wild claims.
“Brendon, for once can you play the ball and not the man?”
I’d like to but there is no link to actual data here. Just some graphs located on Steve’s site.
I’d like to know more about Romm and where he said this.
Yes it would be wrong of him to highlight one day in one city.
Climate change is about the global temps rising.
Highlighting any one city on any one day is cherry picking; the one exception would be when highlighting a city’s new record low/high temp. New records are worth pointing out.
It is always the same…

Thanks intrepid.
Romm doesn’t seem to do much but collect, copy and paste others work. I agree his focus, especially for heading, should have been perhaps about the broader warming that happened.

To his credit Romm & Burt do list many different U.S. cities setting record warmest summer (June – August) temperatures.
New York City (Central Park): 77.8° (old record 77.3° summer of 1966)
Washington D.C. National Airport: 81.3° (old record 80.0° summer of 1943)
Dulles Airport, VA: 77.8° (old record 76.8° summer of 2007)
Richmond, VA: 81.3° (old record 80.0° summer of 1994)
Atlantic City, NJ: 77.5° (old record 75.8° summer of 2005)
Philadelphia, PA: 79.6° (old record 78.9° summer of 1995)
Trenton, NJ: 77.7° (old record 76.5° summer of 1898)
Wilmington, DE: 77.8° (old record 77.7° summer of 1900)
Baltimore, MD: 79.2° (old record 79.1° summer of 1943)
Norfolk, VA: 81.1° (old record 80.0° summer of 1994)
Tampa, FL: 84.5° (previous record 84.2° in 1998)
Lakeland, FL: 84.6° (previous record 84.4° in 1987)
St. Petersburg, FL: 85.6° (old record 84.6° in 1987)
Asheville, NC: 75.4° (old record 75.1° in 1952)
Greenville, SC: 81.0° (old record 80.2° in 1952)
Romm also lists a number of countries that set record highs too.
So as for Steve’s claim that “Joe Romm found only one day of the summer interesting.”, I’d say that’s rather misleading.
The summer of 1828 was just as warm in Philadelphia.
And how was the rest of the planet in 1828?
Given that your list was fairly tightly grouped geographically, it seems a safe bet that every single city on the list was hot.
BTW – Florida is not the edge of the Earth,
Steve says: “Given that your list was fairly tightly grouped geographically, it seems a safe bet that every single city on the list was hot.”
That tends to be the way of things, my question was how was the rest of the planet, not how was the rest of the cities in the list.
From the previous link you can see that the planet was quite warm throughout the NH summer.
Do you have an equivalent diagram for 1828?
Steve says: “BTW – Florida is not the edge of the Earth,”
I’m not sure quite what you mean. But anyway, one could argue that all surface land mass is on the edge of the Earth.
It’s a sick kind of thinking.
It’s similar to that of several Governments all over the world.
Like the British Government for example.
They decided on a very harsh budget reduction that will cost almost 500.000 people their job. At the same time they spend 1 billion pounds for a CO2 sequestration project.
Just like Obama their real objective is to destroy their economy for good.
Hacks like Gore, Romm and Hanson defend and provide the justification even if it is takes their last breath.
There is still a lesson to learn about potential traps and treason of politics.
The British voters thought they would be better off with a tory Government.
Unfortunately they voted a bunch of cloaked Marxists into office and they are not going to deliver.
Check your candidates before you cast your vote.
