Using the new McKitten/Masters/Romm math, the odds of having 90 days in a row of below average temperatures are 2^90 to one, which is about one billion billion billion to one.
When you are shoveling your driveway next winter, feel comforted knowing that the winter is impossible.
NOAA has been claiming that the last twelve months was the hottest in US history, but USHCN data places that in doubt. The table below shows the ten hottest 12 month periods in US history, based on measured (raw monthly) maximum temperatures.
September 1933 - August 1934 67.92 December 1933 - November 1934 67.90 August 1933 - July 1934 67.78 November 1933 - October 1934 67.72 June 1933 - May 1934 67.71 October 1933 - September 1934 67.62 July 1933 - June 1934 67.60 January 1934 - December 1934 67.51 April 1934 - March 1935 67.45 July 2011 - June 2012 67.40
Maximum temperatures are less affected by UHI than minimum temperatures, and are a better measure of relative temperatures.
melt events have occurred at Summit in the past and I have quoted the longest-term average frequency of ~150 years (exactly 153 from the paper) over the past 10,000
‘Unprecedented’ Greenland Surface Melt – Every 150 Years? – NYTimes.com
The unprecedented melt has happened 65 times in the last 10,000 years. But it is worse than it seems. If there was any significant melting, the albedo of the ice surface would have dropped off visibly and dramatically. It didn’t change at all.
Every skier can tell the difference between fresh unmelted snow and melting snow. Fresh snow is very bright – and you need sunglasses. Melting snow is much darker. The snow on top of most of the ice sheet shows no sign of melt.
Look how much brighter the snow on Greenland is, than the sea ice to the north.

There wasn’t any hockey stick prior to the year 2000.
The 1990 IPCC report showed that temperatures were much cooler than 800 years ago.

NASA announced yesterday that this place is experiencing an unprecedented meltdown. I normally keep a pretty close eye on it, but we probably need to start archiving pictures every day to fully document their BS.

NASA simply can`t turn off the BS. Here is the actual satellite photo from July 12 – no indication of melt in the interior
Here is the same photo from July 7 – looks identical
Below is the Summit webcam on July 9, at -19C This was supposed to be right in the middle of the NASA big melt.
Where is the big melt, NASA? temperatures got barely above freezing for a few hours, and NASA declares a meltdown
Climate Change Effects: Things Global Warming Just Might Ruin For Your Kids
Posted: 07/24/2012 11:45 pmThe West is on fire. The Maldives are going underwater and California can expect a sea level rise of six inches in less than 20 years.
Climate Change Effects: Things Global Warming Just Might Ruin For Your Kids
Complete nonsense. This year is the slowest fire year in the US since 2003, and there is a remarkably small number of fires right now. The Maldives are not going underwater, rather they are making long-term expansions to their airport. There has been no sea level rise in California for 30 years, and not the slightest hint that is changing.
It is not OK to lie, Huffington Post.
James Holmes was involved with brain research and possibly development and testing of brain altering drugs. He was an honor student who apparently began acting very erratically in recent weeks, to the point where the local gun club thought he was completely insane.
The University of Colorado refuses to talk and the judge has issued a gag order. This is very abnormal for a case like this, where the government normally wants to get out information as quickly as possible.
There appears to be a bigger story behind this, which I am guessing is being buried right now.
Colo. judge issues gag order in theater shooting that limits what lawyers can discuss
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Lawyers involved in the Colorado movie theater shooting are limited in how much they can say outside of the courtroom.
Suspect James Holmes made his first court appearance Monday.
After the hearing, the judge issued a so-called gag order that bars attorneys from publicly commenting on matters including evidence, whether a plea deal is in the works or the results of any examination or test.
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — James Holmes spent a year in a small neuroscience doctoral program, surrounded by scientists and roughly three dozen classmates delving into the inner workings of the brain.
The University of Colorado, Denver, isn’t saying if they had any warning signs.
Experts say, however, the intimacy of the program and its focus on the brain may not have been enough for staff and students to detect that Holmes was on a course that police say ended with a deadly rampage at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie.
This is complete crap. The gun club figured out he was insane from a single phone message. Obviously the school had to know something was seriously wrong.
Supported by a prestigious federal grant, Holmes, 24, was in the first year of a program at the Anschutz Medical Campus dedicated to neuroscience, studying such topics as how the brain works or malfunctions or helping develop drugs to treat epilepsy and other disorders.
Brain Experts Who Studied With James Eagan Holmes Won’t Say If They Saw Warning Signs
And what was this nonsense about Obama refusing to speak his name in order to not give him the attention he craves? Holmes is in solitary confinement and is out of his mind. He has no idea what Obama is talking about.
Every year, team climate liar declares that we are having record melt in Greenland. My favorite California beach at La Jolla must be drowning.
Only one minor problem – sea level in California has not changed for 30 years.

I`m so sick of these people lying year after year after year – and getting away with it. There has been no acceleration in sea level rise, indicating that there is no increase in melt rates. Take your scam somewhere else – we don`t want it any more.
According to USHCN daily thermometer data, Kentucky used to be much hotter. The five hottest summers all occurred before 1960.
1936 79.9876 1952 78.444 1934 78.3737 1901 78.168 1894 78.0981
The vast majority of all-time record maximums were set or tied prior to 1960.
Maximum temperatures have been in sharp decline since the start of records in 1895, with 1921 being the hottest year
