One hundred years ago this week, Death Valley California experienced the hottest temperatures ever recorded on Earth. July 8-14, 1913 recorded temperatures of 128, 129, 134, 129, 130, 131 and 127.
According to NASA’s crack global warming team, 1913 was one of the coldest years in Earth history.

I love it when the BOM stuff’s up the webpage to try to hide the Coldest time in the history of the planet http://www.bom.gov.au/lam/climate/levelthree/c20thc/drought1.htm

Free forecast for July????????????
If you make enough predictions, some of them will turn out correct!
And with a few ‘adjustments’, 97% of their forecasts are correct!
That is the Jean Dixon method! As adopted by Climatology! 😉
I think she picked that up from the followers of Nostradamas:

I think it’s obvious that all the missing heat in 1913 was on the Greenland Ranch.
How far back does recorded history go for this purpose? I doubt that there any temperature records for Death Valley from 1813.
At the time of the Roman empire it was much hotter than today,

I guess the deserts should then be even hotter, but we must consider that dryness has been increasing recently and this naturally enhances the extreme local weather,
“…the most likely reason for a decadal drop in cloud coverage appears to be forced by variations in the solar wind and the weakening of the magnetic field. This both directly affects the altitude and rate of micro physical processes including aerosol nucleation, depletes upper atmospheric O^3, and perturbs the Hadley/Ferrel Cells…”

The climate seems to have been perturbed to an extreme level recently, and that could lead to the end of the Holocene.
look how dramatically the temperatures vary in the same day in the desert regions,
day: http://www.climate4you.com/images/RecentLandTemperature%2014hr.gif
night: http://www.climate4you.com/images/RecentLandTemperature%2002hr.gif
reaching in some places more than 40 C of difference between day and night. That’s a measure of how important the clouds (H2O, not CO2) are for the climate.
For the 1813 Death Valley temps, all you have to do is measure the tree rings……Oh, never mind. 😉
Do any of climatologists consider fixing the millions of trees they put holes in?
Only one tree has truly proven its usefulness. They only use that one tree in Yamal now:

I see no one has commented on NASA’s Global Land-Sea Temperature Index. Nothing unusual there?
And here’s why…
“The current analysis uses satellite observed nightlights to identify measurement stations located in extreme darkness and adjust temperature trends of urban and peri-urban stations for non-climatic factors, verifying that urban effects on analyzed global change are small. A paper describing the current analysis was published (Hansen et al. 2010) in Reviews of Geophysics in December 2010. The paper compares alternative analyses, and address questions about perception and reality of global warming. Alternative choices for the ocean data are tested. It is shown that global temperature change is sensitive to estimated temperature change in polar regions, where observations are limited.”
