Using a super-secret computer program (a web browser) I discovered that water temperatures around much of the US are far below normal.

Variations in sea surface temperatures are the most important factor in producing weather patterns.
Can I get my $10 million grant for this amazing discovery, which is beyond the grasp of some of NOAA’s top people?

Five of South America’s major fruit-producing countries have witnessed an historic cold snap over the last week, including a snowstorm in the Argentine citrus region of Tucumán.
Low temperatures were registered in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Bolivia.
The blizzard hit Tucumán on Friday in conditions not seen since 1920, while the Brazilian state of Santa Caterina recorded a wind chill of -25°C (-13°F), website Infobae.com reported.
0.7C is in the noise of natural variability, so it clearly is unprecedented and must be caused by man. There is no other possible explanation.
A reader who calls himself the “thinking man” writes :
Over 90% of the worlds glaciers are retreating, melting. That does not happen in a world that is getting colder
Over the last 8,000 years temperatures have been falling, and glaciers have been melting. The fact that ice is melting tells you only that the ice is out of equilibrium. You can’t infer anything about whether the climate is warming or cooling.
.2010 set new records for the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Since 1995 the ice sheet lost an average of 265 cubic kilometers per year,That does not happen in a world that is getting colder.
Sea level plummeted during 2010. ESA’s Envisat satellite showed sea level at the end of 2010 lower than 2004. Where did your record melt water go, Mr. non-thinking man?
Arctic sea ice extent in May 2011 was the third lowest in the satellite record, continuing the overall downward trend of the past thirty years. That does not happen in a world that is getting colder.
NSIDC graphs show a significant increase in the amount of multi-year ice over the last three years. The Arctic Basin was completely full of ice in May, 2010. Quebec is not part of the Arctic.
You can argue the cause. You can argue if it is natural or man made. However, You can not deny the melting of glaciers or the Greenland ice sheet or the Arctic sea ice.
You can believe all the junk science Al Gore tells you, or you can try actually thinking for yourself.
Harkin: ‘Indisputable’ Climate Change Behind Missouri River Flood
By Brad Johnson on Jun 28, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Temperatures at the Missouri headwaters have been four to ten degrees below normal this year. The real question is “are global warmers the stupidest people who ever lived?”

International negotiations are also under way to agree a treaty to slow global warming. At the same time, there has been mounting scientific evidence of climate change – from melting ice caps to the world’s oceans hitting the highest monthly recorded temperatures this northern summer. But while the evidence appears clear, only about a third, or 36 percent, of the poll respondents feel that human activities are behind a temperature increase.
Two-thirds of the country has been able to escape the grips of extreme stupidity.
More than 300 months since the planets temperature was below average
By Associated Press, Published: June 28
WASHINGTON — The world’s climate is not only continuing to warm, it’s adding heat-trapping greenhouse gases even faster than in the past, researchers said Tuesday.Indeed, the global temperature has been warmer than the 20th century average every month for more than 25 years, they said at a teleconference.
In seventh grade, students typically learn the equation of a line y = a*x + b where a is the slope and b is the offset. They are independent numbers. You can’t solve for a knowing only b. a could be positive, negative or zero.
Are some climate scientists actually as dumb as they pretend to be?
