You can’t make this stuff up. We have been bombarded with propaganda about the record June heatwave in the US, which couldn’t have happened without global warming.
The thermometers tell a different story. They show that June, 2012 was the 33rd warmest June on record in the US, and was cooler than 1933 1934 1952 1911 1921 1931 1994 1918 1936 1953 1922 1925 1988 1987 1898 1900 1986 1956 1901 1899 1914 1943 1971 1959 1949 1981 1919 1977 and 1990
The adjusted data shows that June was 19th warmest and NCDC reported 15th warmest.
Joe Romm says that June was unprecedented.
I connected the dots below. They jacked temperatures up by 1.5 degrees, and still couldn’t crack the top 15.
Who is doing the adjusting? What is their justificaton?
This is great stuff Steve! You are in major demolition mode.
The other claim I hear is “hottest 6 month period in history”. It would be interesting to know what the real number / rank is. Not even remotely close is my best guess.
The media (and Romm) can’t “connect the dots” when there’s record cold, like in South America right now, since it doesn’t fit in with the alarmist hysteria.
Record cold? That’s Globa- errrr, CLIMATE CHANGE (TM), too!
