For decades we have been hearing from experts that spring is coming earlier – due to your SUV.
Early Warning Signs of Global Warming: Spring Comes Earlier | Union of Concerned Scientists
Like everything else with the climate superstition, it is nonsense. Peak temperatures for this date have dropped substantially since 104 degrees at Indio, California in 1910.
The percent of stations over 80F on March 10 peaked in 1925 and 1974.
The fake news Washington Post claims that cherry trees are blooming earlier than they used to.
She says “11 of those instances were post-1990.” What she didn’t mention is that 11 of those instances were also between 1921 and 1953.
| 1990 | March 15 |
| 2000 | March 17 |
| 1921, 1927, 1945, 2012 | March 20 |
| 1946, 1976 | March 23 |
| 1938 | March 25 |
| 1977, 1997 | March 26 |
| 1925, 1953, 1998 | March 27 |
| 1948, 1987 | March 28 |
| 1949, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2011 | March 29 |
| 1939, 1968, 2006 | March 30 |
| 1929, 1988, 2004, 2010 |
There is no indication that springs are getting warmer or coming earlier in the US. Alarmists cherry-pick a single year, month or day, and reinforce their superstition with it. They rely on the fact that very few people remember the past.
Even now they are thinking it will be March 19th and recalling how climate crazy they are I am guessing end of March. But knowing vs. guessing is much better. Give it 2.5 weeks to be sure.
“They rely on the fact that very few people remember the past.”
Hell Tony when it comes to most of the media concerning all subjects they rely on the bulk of their audience not remembering even two days before!
They’ll forget all about their early spring forecast when they get hit with a good dose of winter early next week.
Caleb had a good catch with Mould Bay Canada at a new record low of -54.7C & note not a record for the date but an all time record low.

Speaking of Stupidity, Griffy showed up to Defend the Honor of Obummer’s Mother. He used Snopes.
I updated my map of decreasing summer temperatures across the U.S. Adding 2016 to the mix did change it a little:

I like the research on this blog.
You might soon encounter climate change alarmism with the large fires in Kansas and Oklahoma. I have read some attribute the fires to Climate Change.
Here is an actual link to a climate science abstract:
http://www.pnas.org/content/113/42/11770.abstract
I did some research and found this one:
http://ijpr.org/post/wildfire-conundrum-climate-effect#stream/0
It shows that there was a large lull in fire activity in the Western US which the authors attribute to a natural cycle of the PDO. If you look at many sites showing increasing wildfires, most start in the 1980’s or a little earlier. They totally ignore the longer term picture. That is why the actual science article is painful. News media does this a lot, I would hope honest science researchers would do a lot of investigation before reaching a false conclusion.
If anyone is interested, the second link did not go directly to the graph I thought it would. The graph of long term fires in Western US is the second slide out of 4 if you click on the photo to start the slide show.
Who knew that Punxsutawney Phil was influenced by CO2?
Thats OK NYC Mayor De Blasio dropped Punxsutawney Phil and killed him then blamed on CO2.
(And yes the idiot De Blasio did drop and kill Punxsutawney Phil)
The DC cherry blossom were all set for a possible early bloom, but then last weekend a hard freeze (23 degrees) set them way back. This weekend, even a worse freeze, followed by a major snowstorm early next week. Now the question is whether there will be any cherry blossoms at all this year.
It was warm here in chicago in feburary for a few days. It’s happened before in my life time but suddenly it’s global warming.

However I looked at the plants and knew it wasn’t an ‘early spring’. Why? The plants weren’t reacting to it. When spring comes early the plants react early. When it is a fake-out they don’t do anything. The only plants doing anything are the flowers that bloom in march. They don’t care how cold it is they get a head start. I’ve seen them poking their way through snow. Anyway I listened to the plants. Now it’s back in the 20s.
This isn’t difficult stuff. Cave men did it.
