The 1930s were much hotter, and it is genuinely revolting how people at NOAA and GISS are rewriting history.
Ah , the life of a farmer. We don’t make a lot of money but we have a life style that is more enjoyable than the one king David lived. Sittin here at almost 10 oclock drinking a glass of homemade blueberry melomel after a good days work and thanking God for his blessings is the way to do it. Thanks again Steven for the work you do and the effort you put into getting the truth out for others to read. If I can make it to Colorado this winter I’d like to reward you with a mixed case of various home made wines. You can’t buy wines of this quality as the cost of producing them would be prohibitive unless you charged some really serious money. I think you and Anthony Watts deserve to get a representative sample for your courage and perserverence. We have some good stuff maturing this winter and we will see about getting you some.
Sounds good, thanks!
Convincing the ignorant that “extreme weather events” are recent phenomena seems to be the AGW mantra.
True: Over the past 15 years we can intimately track EVERY Tornado that forms, even in the most remote areas. So “Duh” there are “record” Tornadic outbreaks compared to even the recent past.
Ask older relatives/friends about Hurricane Andrew, or the Great New England Hurricane, or the Great Galvaston Hurricane!!! Recent storms are more akin to Atmospheric sneezes!!!
Thermometer siting, UHI augmentation, TOD “adjustments,” GIA monkey business, etc., etc., all contribute to the “Keep ’em Alarmed” syndrome that sells newspapers and compels TV news viewing. Even closing the NYC Subways for a chicken storm last year was part of theoderm mix of Hype & SuperHype.
Intelligent Analysis???
R.I.P.
Steve:
It is not obvious (to me) what the numbers 9 and 10 signify
in the second column. Are the temperatures as
posted in the last column the means for daily average
temperatures over a five consecutive months in the
stated years? Surely the 9 and 10 do not signify
the months of September and October, or do they?
It is the last month of the five month period
