   “All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.”
   -Roger Bacon

     The entire Continental USA was cold throughout 2014… anyone who Lived knows this..

     Yet these folks have the nerve, the Hubris to claim “Hottest Ever”… Geez…

       The west coast was much warmer than normal.

   I think of it as the STFU address….that’s close to SOTU, isn’t it?

     I figure on making it exciting until I fall over drunk: The SOTU Drinking Game.
     1 Drink for every mention of Climate Change
     3 Drinks for every “Warmest Year Ever”.
     1 Drink for taking credit for the world’s largest producer of oil and gas.
     1 Drink for taking credit for reducing CO2 emissions.
     I’ve though of some more, but I’ll probably be toast by this stage.

   What are the random measurements seen floating above the oceans where there is no land shown? And how do you produce a globe-wide estimate without sampling the regions that are the furthest away from the warmest region?

     There are islands at those locations.

       Another example of the Wizzard of Oz/Gorebull Warming movement . . . make something out of nothing . . . and turn it into cash . . .

       Itty Bitty remote islands upon which NOAA has placed reliable temperature equipment with a long running history? Amazing. I thought maybe it was just the missing heat in the oceans coming up for air….

   Tony, I believe we have some potential candidates, and in honor of MLK Day here they are…

   And you wonder why the left coast has so many lunatics in office.

     I made Hubby play that….

     We really really need that earthquake that separates California from the rest of the country and sinks it under the sea.

   Each year, in order to report record warming, they have to “adjust” the raw data more and more. Each year the gap increases between the raw surface temperature and the adjusted surface temperature.

   It is like a Ponzi scheme of temperature data.

   No wonder they keep saying Greenland is warming so fast.

   No problem. Simply use ocean temperatures to infill missing land data, even if it’s thousands of miles from the sea……

   …and, Hey Presto! You have the warmist year evah.

   Wait.. the “global” “record” is based on around 15% of the Earth’s surface?

   It’s worse than I thought.

    And the baseline is not actual historical data, anyway.

    Still trying to figure out how you even get to half the earth with only a few flecks in the 70% ocean. Presumably the grey land areas are at par, yet massive infill must be happening in Antarctica and central Eurasia as thermometers are VERY far between.

    Check out the dissonance in south Africa where mildly warm anomaly grid cells are juxtaposed to seriously cold…
