Texas July temperatures have been declining since 1895, and so far this month are the coldest on record.
In 2011, Aggie climate expert Andrew Dessler warned that Texas would be hot and dry for the rest of the century.
The weather of the 21st century will be very much like the hot and dry weather of 2011.
He also said that Texas was going to drown this century.
the vulnerability of Texas is more akin to that of the low-lying island states of the Pacific that are going to be inundated by sea-level rise over the coming century.
Coldest? 28 C +/- ??? “Coolest” doesn’t even work.
1. You’re looking at the trend line, not the data
2. Is the concept behind a bipolar scale too difficult for you to handle?
Sir, I aced graph/gauge reading to get into AF officers training school. I read graphs fine.
25 +/- would be more exact.
Climate change is worse than the alarmists thought 😉
Neither the Texas nor Missouri charts show the slightest hint of warming. What is an alarmist to do? Either cool the past and warm the present, or find UHI affected stations that fit your hypothesis. Very scientific! (sarc)
Even less than 2008-09. The downward trend is clear, although very oscillating too.
The Missouri graph is slightly more “steady”,

probably due to less dryness in comparison with Texas.
