Missouri was the most anomalously hot state in July, yet measured maximum temperatures were only sixth hottest on record – five degrees cooler than 1934.

Arkansas was ground zero for the July 2012 “record” heatwave, yet high temperatures were only the 15th hottest.

NOAA’s claim that July was the hottest on record in the US is based on tampered data and is simply not true.

July maximum temperatures averaged six degrees cooler than July, 1936 in Nebraska

July average tops U.S. temperature record, NOAA says
The July heat wave that wilted crops, shriveled rivers and fueled wildfires officially went into the books Wednesday as the hottest single month on record for the continental United States.

The average temperature across the Lower 48 was 77.6 degrees Fahrenheit, 3.3 degrees above the 20th-century average, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration reported. That edged out the previous high mark, set in 1936, by two-tenths of a degree, NOAA said.

U.S. forecasters started keeping records in 1895. The seven months of 2012 to date are the warmest of any year on record and were drier than average as well, NOAA said.

Complete nonsense. July 1936 was much hotter. Compare the two maps below – it isn’t even close.

The two maps don’t have the same baseline. We know that the second map has a 1981-2010 baseline, which averaged 74.4 degrees.  If we guess 1900-1935 for the first map, the baseline was slightly higher at 74.5 degrees. That makes the fraud even worse.

Looks like Zwally was right!  All of the ice will be gone in about a week.

NOAA claims that the extremely nice weather of March 2012 couldn’t have happened without global warming.

The blink comparator above flashes between March 2012 and March 1910. You can tell which is which, because March 1910 was above normal over the entire country – whereas March 2012 was below normal on the west coast.

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.

The map below is the heatwave of July, 1936 – which was the hottest month in US history. It was almost as hot in Russia, and much above normal over much of the rest of the planet.

Hansen has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, which is why he is well suited to be a spokesman for the Obama administration.

This is what the felon in chief promised four years ago.

Obama complained that the debt increased by 50% under Bush to $8.8 billion, over eight years. Then Obama increased the debt by almost 100% in just four years.

Did Obama burn his brain out on cocaine in college?

There are three million millionaires in the US. In order to raise $4 trillion, he would have to  take $1.3 million from each millionaire. Tax rates over 100% might not be considered sound policy, unless he wants to drive unemployment up over 80%.

Besides which, the deficit is $1.1 trillion. How can you lower it by $4 trillion?

Whatever he was doing in college did not involve math or economics. Apparently he majored in Trotsky emulation.
