Cloudy and humid nights are warmer than clear and dry nights, largely because of the greenhouse effect. Nights in tropical climates are warm, while nights in the desert are cold. Longwave radiation coming down from greenhouse gas molecules warms the surface.
Why some people are unable to grasp this very simple concept is beyond my comprehension.
President Obama is very angry that the ignorant peasantry won’t listen to his warnings that they are overheating. They refuse to listen to the science, which speaks so clearly in Obama’s ear.
Last week America turned red, and this week America is turning blue.
The forecast minimum for Fort Collins on Saturday is -1F, which would be the first November 15 below 0F ever recorded there. From my experience, temperatures usually come in several degrees colder than forecast there during Arctic cold snaps.
The warmest November 15’s were 1981 and 1949.
Experts say that below zero temperatures almost never happen any more, due to your SUV. Look for NCDC to report 2014 as the hottest year ever, during the coldest mid-November on record.
During the 2002 drought in Colorado, the city of Longmont shut down most of the city soccer fields, in a vain effort to protect the grass. I was coaching kid soccer at the time, and went to a city council meeting and asked them to open the fields because :
By autumn 2006, I was regularly coaching in freezing cold rain and snow, almost every weekend.
The city council did open the fields up after that meeting. Apparently my appeal was effective.
Ooops….. Party is over Mark.
What did you mean by this?

Richard Muller claimed he was a converted skeptic.
The Conversion of a Climate-Change Skeptic
By RICHARD A. MULLER Published: July 28, 2012
Berkeley, Calif.CALL me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.
Less than a year earlier, Muller said he never was a skeptic.

“It is ironic if some people treat me as a traitor, since I was never a skeptic“
Richard Muller, Climate Researcher, Navigates The Volatile Line Between Science And Skepticism
A decade earlier he made it clear that he was a flaming alarmist who wanted to prove global warming.
By Richard Muller on December 17, 2003
Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate. I would love to believe that the results of Mann et al. are correct, and that the last few years have been the warmest in a millennium.
Mr. Obama told the lawmakers that he had already been patient waiting for the GOP-controlled House to act since the Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan immigration bill in June 2013.
At that point, Vice President Joe Biden asked how long Republicans might need to bring up an immigration bill, according to multiple people familiar with the meeting, asking if they might be ready by mid-February or another time this spring. Mr. Obama gave him a look that ended that line of discussion, the people said.
In other words, Obama believes that 350 million Americans are too stupid to realize that the new Congress doesn’t meet until January. Seventy-four percent of Senate Republicans voted against the 2013 “bipartisan immigration bill.” It obviously was not going to make it through the House then, and certainly won’t now.
Twenty-five years ago, the President of the United States was actually working for the United States and against communism. Almost inconceivable now, after the past six years.

Enrique finally figured it out yesterday, and got a fantastic result.
