Someone suggested earlier that GHCN could eliminate a CRU heatwave by using a different baseline, and that I was a liar for not admitting this.
Perhaps the thousands of people who died in the 1936 heatwave could be brought back to life -simply by Hansen adjusting the temperature..
This site is getting flooded with idiots posting mindless FUD, who appear incapable of interpreting maps or graphs.
If you say the same stupid crap over and over again, you are going to spam.
Temperatures have dropped below freezing north of 80N for the winter

And most of the Arctic Basin is covered with ice, much of it 3-5 metres thick.
Summer is too short to produce an ice-free Arctic – without a radical change in climate.
Talk about an ice-free Arctic should be discussed in supermarket tabloids, not scientific publications.
The Guardian claimed today that the ice is getting thinner along the Canadian and Greenland coast, but as usual they have no idea what they are talking about.
There is a lot more 3+ metre thick ice than there was two years ago, when David Barber declared that all the multiyear ice was gone.
Hansen claims that heatwaves used to be much less extensive.
The percentage of the earth’s land surface covered by extreme heat in the summer has soared in recent decades, from less than 1 percent in the years before 1980 to as much as 13 percent in recent years, according to a new scientific paper.

He has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Historical US heatwaves correlate well with heatwaves at other parts of the planet, and covered much more than one percent of the land surface . Nothing has changed, except inside his troubled mind.
USHCN “raw” monthly data shows that July, 1901 was the hottest month in US history – ahead of 1936 and third place 2012.
July of 1901 was a very hot month. Look at all the USHCN stations which were over 110 degrees on July 22, 1901. That day was much hotter than any day in 2012.

Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin has had 191 days over one hundred degrees since 1900. None of them occurred between 2000 and 2011.
The hottest day was July 22, 1901, when the temperature reached 110F – during a streak of eight consecutive days over 100F.
The 1930s had fifty eight days over 100 degrees, compared to zero days between 2000 and 2011. (Weather Underground reports two days over 100 degrees in July, 2012, but they aren’t official temperatures.)
James Hansen says heatwaves are getting worse in the US due to CO2.
Rate of arctic summer sea ice loss is 50% higher than predicted | Environment | The Observer
That is amazing, because it was predicted to be ice free already.
NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: “At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions.”
