The hottest day in Subiaco during this summer’s “unprecedented heat wave” has been 106 degrees – eleven degrees cooler than 1936.

During cold spells, experts tell us that weather is not climate.

Mr Hill added that the current spell of wintry weather across the UK did not contradict theories of climate change.

“There is a difference between weather and climate,” he said. “It’s about separating out what is weather and what is climate, what’s happening in the square metre above your head – or even a country the size of Scotland – from the huge climatic changes covering vast areas of ocean and continents.

(WASHINGTON) — If you want a glimpse of some of the worst of global warming, scientists suggest taking a look at U.S. weather in recent weeks.

Horrendous wildfires. Oppressive heat waves. Devastating droughts. Flooding from giant deluges. And a powerful freak wind storm called a derecho.

Kevin Trenberth, head of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in fire-charred Colorado, said these are the very record-breaking conditions he has said would happen, but many people wouldn’t listen. So it’s I told-you-so time, he said.

Alex Hill, chief government advisor with the Met Office, said the amount of snow in the Scottish mountains had been decreasing for the last 40 years and there was no reason for the decline to stop.

He added: “Put it this way, I will not be investing in the ski-ing industry

According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.  “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes – or eventually “feel” virtual cold.

Mike Calnan, the National Trust’s head of gardens and parks, said the predictions were based on computer models generated by the Met Office Hadley Centre.

‘We looked at gardens in southern France and southern Portugal and, bearing in mind what we can grow in this country in mild locations, we came up with a list of probably things we could grow in the future,’ he said

He added: ‘The Met Office are saying that despite the recent concerns about the science, they are very sure about the underlying science.

The raw daily data shows these months as the warmest in the US since 1895. July of 1901 was the hottest month on record in the US, with CO2 at 300 ppm.

January 2006   39.2
February 1954  42.2
March 1910     51.1
April 1915     56.5
May 1934       65.7
June 1933      73.0
July 1901      78.3
August 1936    76.1

October 1963   60.7
November 1999  48.5
December 1939  38.6

You can’t make this stuff up. We have been bombarded with propaganda about the record June heatwave in the US, which couldn’t have happened without global warming.

The thermometers tell a different story. They show that June, 2012 was the 33rd warmest June on record in the US, and was cooler than 1933 1934 1952 1911 1921 1931 1994 1918 1936 1953 1922 1925 1988 1987 1898 1900 1986 1956 1901 1899 1914 1943 1971 1959 1949 1981 1919 1977 and 1990

The adjusted data shows that June was 19th warmest and NCDC reported 15th warmest.

Joe Romm says that June was unprecedented.

I connected the dots below. They jacked temperatures up by 1.5 degrees, and still couldn’t crack the top 15.

The thermometer data shows no trend in US temperatures since 1900, with the three hottest years being 1921, 1934 and 1931.

That information won’t raise a lot of funding, so USHCN alters the data to make it look like the US is warming.

This is done in several steps. The conversion from raw daily to “raw” monthly mysteriously lowers most pre-1980 temperatures by about 0.2 degrees. Then they knock another 0.6 degrees off of the older raw temperatures for the TOBS adjustment, and then another huge chunk gets knocked off older records for things like anti-UHI effects. (Cities were of course much hotter 100 years ago, due to all the farting horses and lack of air conditioning.)

By the time these buffoons are done, they have created a man-made warming trend (red line) of about 1.5 degrees – which accounts for all of the claimed warming in the published USHCN data.

Al’s Journal : Biggest disaster area in US history from recent extreme weather

No doubt the current mild climate is worse than the Dust Bowl – but it is worse than it seems. Something fishy is going on with the official data. Most of the drought area has received heavy rain over the last two weeks (as much as 12 inches in Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee) but the US drought monitor shows the drought getting much worse.

I have been in contact with The US Drought Monitor and Rich Tinker at NOAA. They promised an explanation by last Friday, but I haven’t received it yet.
