Minnesota HCN stations have recorded two 100ºF readings this summer, compared to 204 in 1936. There have been a total of 1,038 100ºF readings since 1893, 97.5% of which occurred with CO2 below 350 PPM.
McKibben was whining about the heat in the midwest today.
And the leaves are changing on the aspens in California.
We had 26 degrees F, this morning and I’d say McPieceofshitten can take a leap-:)
Steve I love the fact that you don’t actually need to put in real effort to discredit AGW, the likes of Bill McKibben do the hard work for you 🙂
Someone inform Bill that it’s summer. Heat happens in summer, almost every year.

@billmckibben After the cool and uneventful year we’ve had, this post is just an embarrassment for you. We’ve had only 4 or 5 weeks of summer.
I like some of the other replies too, like the one above.
Bill forgot to add this little tidbit to his tweet.
Five elementary schools in Fargo, North Dakota, canceled classes through Wednesday because the buildings weren’t fully air-conditioned. Temperatures inside them on Sunday ranged from 85 degrees to 90 degrees, Fargo Schools Superintendent Jeff Schatz said.

I lived in Fargo, ND for 25 years. I was on a roof shingling during college when it was 103°F (1985). Fargo, ND’s record high temperature is 114°F (1936), where as Nashville, TN’s record temperature is 107°F (1952). Take note that Nashville is a whole lot further south than Fargo, and, Nashville is slightly lower elevation (597 ft) vs. Fargo (904 ft).
So, one would wonder, why would Fargo have such a higher record temperature than Nashville. Doesn’t seem to make sense does it? It is really quite simple. Nashville has a lot more of that dangerous GHG called “water vapor” (ie: humidity) .. which we all know leads to runaway warming …er, … sorry, more precisely COOLING .. this is a perfect demonstration as to why deserts are hotter than the tropics, and why heat waves only happen during dry periods. Just go take a look at the relative humidity right now where the heat waves are. I will bet you they are DRY .. not moist!
And what the hell is “fully air-conditioned” ? … are they air-conditioned or aren’t they? … this is just an excuse .. much like a lot of the blizzard days each winter. Been there, done that …
The classrooms were air conditioned but not the teachers lounge or principal’s office. Thus not “fully”. LOL
