Shock news : weather is warmer than during the ice age scare.
The latest numbers, released earlier this month, show that the climate of the last 10 years was about 1.5 degrees warmer than the climate of the 1970s

Funny they always write articles like this in July. You don’t see so many when its 10 below zero in February.
“Every 10 years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recalculates what it calls climate “normals,” 30-year averages of temperature and precipitation for about 7,500 locations across the United States.”
Well, I know for a fact that my location has not warmed. Could those 7500 locations be cities that are experiencing infrastructure and accompanying heat build up? Yes they could.
Primarily airports that have expanded since 1970.
In February 1.5 degrees warmer would be a welcome change. The thing is that the additional warmth was probably in the winter rather than the summer. I lived through both periods and the only difference I recall was the reported temperatures and not the living conditions. Of course that happens when you are talking about a whopping 1.5 F or C.
We are having a fairly respectable mid-summer heatwave. As if that never happened before. Weather suddenly becomes climate whenever it serves the alarmist agenda.
Even better weather in a few cities becomes Global Climate when appropriate!
It’s not that bad to me in DC, not like it was in 1986, 1987 from what I recall.
I used to like the hot weather. Gave me the opportunity to perspire a lot while jogging.
Now I hate hot weather anywhere and I dread summer because of all the squealing from losers for the Government to do something “about the weather.”
And about the normals in 1940 or 1950 ?
Heidi is my fav!!!! She so insightful! So, she’s saying we’re a bit warming after a cooling period than when we were in the cooling period? Weird!!!
They’re going to have to put a global warming spin on it…..
…and since they lost the no warming in the past decade
This is the best they’ve got
The US rate of cooling for the 10 year period from 1970-1980 was -.07F degrees/decade while the last 10 years from July 2001-present is -1.3F degrees/decade. I guess this is a case of “Heidi-ng the decline”.

What I mean is ITWASNASTYINTHE70s.
That was why all the big shoes and dancing.
My recollection was in the 1950’s the normal January high temp in DC was 36.5. By the 1980’s it was down to 34.9. So the catastrophic 1.5 degree increase in temperature is in all likelihood just a return to pre-1960 normals.

=============
Was this the same 1970’s, when the media was pushing the “next ice age” scare ?
I lived thru the 1970’s, and made more money than I could spend at 15 years of age by shoveling driveways. So quit giving me your BS, Heidi.

Too bad she’s an AGW shill. She’s kind of cute.
She is the one that always wanted to de-certify all descent on warming a nice and tidy way to get the opposition out of your way no doubt. I wonder if any of these bozo’s was on debate teams in college , nah ! I bet they could not debate their way out of a paper bag uh! make that plastic .
Beware of cute some vipers are also cute but have the sting of death .
