One thing a scientist should never ever do – is start calculating a sought after trend at a minimum or maximum. Like 1979.
On the other hand, if you were a global warming propagandist instead of a scientist, you would start in 1979, and ignore all prior data.
If a scientist did this, they might just get accused of being a crook.
Christmas Eve 2015 was warm in half of the US, but 60 years earlier the entire US was warm on Christmas Eve. Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas all reported temperatures over 90 degrees on December 24, 1955.
Government climate experts say that 2015 is the hottest year ever. A couple of sure fire clues for this are the highest Arctic sea ice extent in over a decade, and the coldest January-March on record in the Northeast US.

Forty-one inches of snow in 24 hours in southern New Mexico is another dead giveaway of an overheated atmosphere.
As is the coldest autumn on record on the Greenland ice sheet
1771 was the year Captain Cook discovered Australia. It was also the year that the 500 year old Tyne Bridge in Newcastle collapsed from a massive flood “twelve feet above high water mark in spring tides”

Had Captain Cook been outfitted with low carbon candles, this tragedy could have been prevented.
In 1902, the father of global warming predicted that burning coal would make the Earth boil.
Earth had an ice age during the Ordovician Era – before the coal beds formed, with CO2 at 4,000 PPM. Global warming alarmists have been morons since day one.
Bernie Sanders says “Nobody can recall” – when the problem is strictly his own faulty memory.
Bernie can’t remember 1990, which explains why he wants to do a repeat of the Soviet Union in 2015. The Berlin Wall fell in 1989.

New Mexico’s carpetbagging Senator Tom Udall recently told COP 21 negotiators to ignore the US Congress and Constitution.
37 Republican senators sent a letter about the Green Climate Fund to the president warning that: “Congress will not be forthcoming with these funds in the future without a vote in the Senate on any final agreement” from the Paris climate conference.

This is in direct violation to his oath of office, to uphold the US Constitution
If there were one principle the Founders wanted to make clearly understood in their new system of government it was that the power to make law would no longer belong to a king or dictator or a group of government workers, but would actually belong to those whom the people themselves have elected to office for that very purpose.
“All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” (Article. I, Section 1, Clause 1)
Udall is willing to trash the US Constitution, in order to power New Mexico off these crippled, useless devices.
Udall has often stated that New Mexico’s trees are all going to die due to global warming.
Never mind the rule of law. Udall’s climate superstition supersedes the US Constitution. We recently got rid of his carpetbagging brother in Colorado, but more work needs to be done in New Mexico.
It has been almost 100 years since the New York Times reported that Martians had built 1,000 miles of canals in just six weeks.
That was back when the Times was still a serious newspaper, before they started listening to Michael Mann and Katherine Hayhoe.
The warmest Januaries in the US occurred from 1950-1954, when nearly one out of four days was over 60 degrees. Currently less than one January day out of six is over 60 degrees.
The area of the US reaching 60 degrees in January has three peaks in the 1930s, 1950s, and from 1995 to 2005, all reaching about 60% of the US. Over the past decade the areal coverage of January warmth has been close to the mean at about 50% of the country.
