July 2012 was more than four degrees cooler than 1936, and was also cooler than 1901, 1934 and 1954. The period since 1990 has been the coolest of the last century.

When people like Katherine Hayhoe say that the heat is unusual, it is a further indication that they have no idea what they are talking about.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Ecuador announced Thursday that it was granting political asylum to Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who has been holed up for two months in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London awaiting the decision.

The move leaves Mr. Assange with protection from arrest only on Ecuadorean territory, meaning he could only leave the embassy for Ecuador with British cooperation.

1. Has the Mississippi River dried up?
2. Has half the population of Oklahoma moved to California?
3. Have clouds of dust blown into New York from the midwest?
4. Have thousands of people been dying from the heat every week?
5. Does the midwest look anything like this?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, then you fail.

NOAA picks a cold period for the baseline, adjusts recent temperatures upwards and fails to account for UHI. The odds of them reporting honest temperatures are zero out of infinity.

Perhaps Seth could explain why half of the lower 48 US states set their all time high temperature record during the 1930s.

Experts told us that last winter’s lack of snow in the eastern US was the new normal. They are hoping that you are stupid and don’t remember that the previous five winters were all among the snowiest on record.

They also are hoping that you were unaware that last winter was the fourth snowiest on record in Europe and Asia, which is where the vast majority of the snow always falls.

They also are hoping that you are unaware that Alaska had their snowiest winter on record, as did parts of the Pacific Northwest.

Why is it that some experts are trying to keep you misinformed?

The latest big drought lie is that the 2012 drought is the worst since the 1950s – which is complete nonsense. In 1988 the drought was so bad that they had to shut down the Mississippi River because it ran out of water. They were even talking about diverting water out of the great lakes.

There is plenty of water in the Mississippi this year. Drought data in 2012 is inflated, just like all other climate data.

Lying about everything is the new normal for climate scientists

WASHINGTON — What can make a bad drought even worse? A sizzling summer, the likes of which the Lower 48 states haven’t seen since record-keeping started in 1895.

This summer won’t be anywhere close to the hottest, even after NOAA tampers with the data..

Fields of crops that are shriveled or still green with unproductive plants are clear signs of how damaging the summer has been, particularly in the Midwest.

But in a warming world, climate scientists say, more hot days and heat waves are a virtual certainty. Humans have altered the background conditions of the atmosphere and increased the risks of extreme weather.

“There have been many severe droughts here before,” said Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech University. “What’s really unusual, though, is the heat.

NOAA forecast Irene to make landfall at every state along the east coast, and then bragged that they got it right.
