NOAA propagandists say every month that temperatures have been “above normal” for blah blah blah months in a row.
Actually, they have been cheating by adjusting temperatures increasingly upwards for 840 months in a row.

The entire trend is due to NOAA and GISS manipulating the temperature record. There was no warming in the US before GISS/NOAA started cheating in the year 2000.
But their funding depends on it, so they continue to cheat.
It is so corrupt we do not know.
However chances are the weather conditions we have experienced over the last 50 years are similar to those experienced during a similar period in the 1800s.
Careful examination could probably find similar conditions in many regions. We will not reliably know because of a lack of accurate records. Problem is due to the record keeping expertise of NOAA, GISS and others, researchers in the future will still not have reliable surface temperature records to work with.
Maybe it really is worse than We thought! NOAA and GISS are full of shit!
