Global Temperature Records are being SHATTERED

Usually monthly temperature records might be broken by .01 or .02 degrees. Shattering the record by .22 degrees is scary stuff. As is seeing all time monthly records set in 4 of the 6 months of 2015 so far.

It doesn't matter, Sally V is right. The Earth hasn't warmed in 18 years and we don't have hurricanes anymore.

Don't worry about the droughts, heat waves, and high global temps. Boston had record snow this year!

El Nino FTW, baby!

Absolute silence from the science deniers...

Antarctic sea ice during June was 380,000 square miles above the 1981-2010 average, an increase of 7.2 percent. This was the third largest June Antarctic sea ice extent on record, though it was 140,000 square miles smaller than the record-large June extent of 2014.

Amazing stuff!

Yes but is it caused by humans or part the natural cycle of warming and cooling?

It's a good thing they stopped at four months. Fudging the data for all six months would have drawn suspicion.

Both. There is a rising contribution due to human activity and we are currently in the warm phase of a natural El Nino cycle.

There is no scientifically reasonable doubt that human activity is causing the rise in atmospheric CO2 levels. There is virtually no doubt that rising greenhouse gas levels will cause warming with all other things being equal. There is also no doubt that there are natural climate cycles and that the dominant El Nino Southern Oscillation is currently in a warm phase. So, roughly, anthropogenic global warming has caused the past decade to be warmer than than the previous decade for some decades while it is largely a natural cycle on top of that trend causing the record to be SHATTERED rather than being closer to trend.

The purported increases are dwarfed (5-fold) by the margins of error.

No Way - you are correct - we don't have hurricanes anymore - at least major ones (cat 3, 4 or 5) - the last major hurricane to hit US WAS Wilma in 2004 - so like 12 years - where is more severe weather we were warned about???

Climate change is global. If affects countries all over the world, not just the US.

Here is the severe weather that climate change predicts:

LOL - you might be first person who got OWNED by himself. That list you gave - I looked at one area - Western North Pacific - of the most severe storms it had 4 - I repeat 4 - for this century. And for last century - 53!!! You can't make up stupid stuff like this!!! LOL!!!

Yes!

This is shaping up as an El Nino year. The North Atlantic is typically quieter in such years.

But I'm from Guam ("where America's day begins"), and Guam was *hammered* in May by Typhoon Dolphin, which reached category 5:

"On Guam, . . . Andersen Air Force Base recorded sustained winds of 135 km/h (84 mph), while gusts reached 171 km/h (106 mph). Rainfall amounts tallied to 236 mm (9.3 in) within a 12-hour period. Wave heights offshore the island topped 6 m (20 ft). Overall damage was estimated at nearly $10 million, prompting Governor Eddie Calvo to declare of state of emergency. On June 5, President Barack Obama signed a major disaster declaration for the territory, allowing for federal aid to be used."--Wiki

There's more to America than the East Coast. There's more to the globe than the U.S.A.

That's exactly your problem.

You only looked at one area.

I hate to break it to you but that was a Cat 1 (baby) hurricane. The lowest sustained winds for a major typhoon is 111 mph.

We are actually entering the 21st year of declining temperatures – not rising temperatures.

The Global Warming crowd are the MOST unethical and corrupt group of pretend scientists ever to exist.

But, regardless of the truth about global warming, governments need their bogus research to raise taxes.

Global Warming is another great scam.

Clearing the air – yes, we all want that.

Yet it is extremely arrogant to assume we have the capability to alter the climate cycle.

A growing number of scientists in fact are coming out, warning that we are moving back to a mini ice age - I saw a presentation of the energy output of the sun derived from the ice core samples taken from the North Pole back in the 1990s, it matched up with the 309.6-year ECM cycle.

It made sense and explained the rise and fall of empires throughout history as well as migrations.

Yeah! Yeah! I saw that too. Totally with you, man!

Sorry to be unclear--I included the stuff about Andersen because that's where I'm from: "On May 15, vertical wind shear once again lessened; tight low-level bands wrapped into a large 51 km (32 mi) eye, prompting the JTWC to upgrade Dolphin to an upper-end Category 3 equivalent on the SSHWS. The overall structure of the cyclone continued to improve, and by 03:00 UTC on May 16, it harbored 1-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph). This rapid deepening process continued, and 24 hours later, the JTWC upgraded Dolphin to a Category 5 super typhoon, the third super typhoon of the season."

^this

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
