Despite Warmest May/June On Record, Misses Blamed On "Unseasonably Cool" Weather
"Weather," it appears is the new 'dog-ate-my-homework' no matter how much facts get in the way.
Compare NOAA's "Facts" about the actual temperatures...
The world’s heat record was broken for a second consecutive month. With the exception of Antarctica, new temperature highs were recorded on every continent.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released June’s results Monday, revealing an average global temperature of 61.2 degrees for the period. The result is 1.30 degrees higher than the 20th century average of 59.9 degrees, making this June the warmest in more than 130 years.
The same trend was seen in May, which experienced a 1.33 degree increase from the the average 58.6 degrees.
To Business leaders excuses...
ICSC’s Michael Niemira says unseasonably cool weather hurt consumer interest in summer merchandise despite clearance prices; may shift demand to back-to-school shopping.
[Harley Davidson] believes second-quarter U.S. retail sales were adversely affected by prolonged poor weather across parts of the U.S..

It takes two to lie succesfully. One teller and one believer.
"Or could missed sales expectations be a result of stagnant incomes and rising inflation?"
That's just crazy talk, Tyler.
Don't they know that the weather is always right.
It was a "cool" 92 here today. 90% humidity.
Before I freeze to death, I'll junp back under my electric blanket.
Coldest summer on record in the south.
#stoptheexcuses
Next they will be blaming the poor economy on the phases of the moon and alignment of the stars... Bring in the Royal Astrologer...
Oh dear, what's this, ZH admitting that we're actually experiencing heat records all over the world?
But.. but... that does not jive with the climate denialist bullshit this site usually publishes!
Get your story straight once and for all, you morons.
Just because this year is hot, that does not mean that next year will be so, that it is a trend, nor that humans caused this.
Temp records began in 1870. So we don't know what the temps were prior to that.
It is foolish to extrapolate thousands of years of temp data from 144 years of actual hard data.
We, literally, do not have enough data to conclude whether this is hot, cold, warming, or cooling when we compare the recent past to the last few thousand years.
Then there is the issue that thermometres of 1920 were in forests and now are in suburbia or on an airport. Been to an airport? They tend to be much hotter than a forested glade or a field. Been to a city? They are much warmer than the surrounding fields.
And this trend of ALWAYS adjusting temp date UPWARDS should make everyone suspicious. Either every.single.instrument for the past 144 years were ALL WRONG LOW ALL OF THE TIME, the methods were ALL WRONG LOW ALL OF THE TIME, or someone is lying to push an agenda.
If it is the first two, then the science cannot be trusted. If it is the last one, then the scientists cannot be trusted.
In any event, it's a non-observation.
It states 'Compare NOAA's "Facts" about the actual temperatures...'. Note that the word, facts, is in quotes. This implies that ZH doesn't believe NOAA either. So the point is that one group of liars didn't consult with another group of liars before they made up more lies.
So they go back and revise temps down and then turn around 3 weeks later and tell us that we are breaking heat records. Whose story should we get straight?
PinchOfShit, go back to jerking off to manboy literature in the East Room with your boy. No one believes global warming bullshit. First time I heard about global warming was in 1988 and your types were claiming that we would be facing droughts and famines in areas that were formerly verdant like the midwest. Coolest spring and summer I can remember since 1978 and the coldest longest winter we have ever had. Real facts, not the bullshit made up by NASA which cant even put man in space.
Do a fact-check before making more of an ass of yourself... OR post links to substantiate your claim... If not, then your just another ass-hat that supports the globalist agenda...
Whether it's cold, or whether it's hot, we're going to have weather,
whether or not.
So Close said: "It takes two to lie successfully. One teller and one believer."
Very true.
I've heard the NOAA lowered historical temperatures to make this the "warmest May/June on record".
So not only is it a lie that it is the "warmest ever"; but you have misses being blamed on the weather, and both lies being believed by a majority.
I'm pretty sure network news is produced for an IQ range of 60-70.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestaylor/2012/06/13/doctored-data-not-u-s-temperatures-set-a-record-this-year/
With the exception of Antarctica? I don't see any data on that graph for Antarctica.
I also don't see a single block of dark red "record warmest" for North America. Yet all continents experienced "record temperature highs". I don't see one in Europe or Australia, either.
Most of the dark red is where no one lives. In other words, no one there to corroborate or deny it.
Obviously if they claimed Texas was having record heat, then millions of people would be screaming foul, so they can't do that. How convenient.
Fuck that, I am moving to the Shetland Islands and invest in local coconut groves. Cha-ching!
I find that hot weather makes my balls itch. Bitchez.
No it's your shitty blog that makes your balls itch.
It might be scabies I hear its going around...
Not nice. You need to go to your room for a time out colonel.
NO! However if you wish to work for food, I have a job for you at Stalag 13.
Ha ha ha ha ha +1 for everybody in this thread. You don't get comedy like this anywhere else.
Obviously if they claimed Texas was having record heat
Which is bullshit... This is not even the hottest spring / summer in my memory and I've lived in TexASS for decades...
Well they did say it was a global measure. And would you honestly expect to hear any screaming from the people in other parts of the world? Unless its a plane going down, CNN won't carry it, in which case it never happened.
Given that there are satellites in orbit that can read surface, ocean and atmospheric temperatures constantly, I doubt "weather stations" have so much to do with it anymore.
Aaaand you'd be wrong, sonny
http://www.surfacestations.org/
Go look at some of the places where NOAA takes temperature readings - under AC exhaust vents, on rooftops, in parking lots... Yup, no upward bias there, right ?
Excuuuuuuse me. But just what is your avatar??????
Is it a staple gun, I wonder????
Is it? Is it?
You been out killing bankers boy? Better to confess now.
It is a nail gun. A Paslode nail gun, actually (look it up, they have unique "features" certain types of people might be interested in). And I have not killed any bankers with it. They borrow it from me and they kill themselves with it. It's the one tool I don't mind loaning to bankers. That much I will confess to.
Gotta say, love my Senco601! Brings new meaning to "clipped head" when you throw in talk of banksters...
Must've opened new weather stations. "Record high temp!"
Every other branch of the government lies to suit their agenda.
But not NOAA. DOBA with "average" temperature estimates and they seamlessly correlate modern satellite information to older measurements.
And to all you eco-terrorists who scream we have to do something to stop this. There is an easy one that you can do at home.
Stop breathing.
pods
"Stop breathing."
That's one way to beat the Obamacare tax.
"Stop Breathing."
I wonder if that will be the phrase at the top of each FEMA camp gate instead of "Work Frees You?!"
The easiest way to fix the hot weather would be to shoot a missile at the sun and blow it up.
According to the DC US the way to fix it is to use a SWAT team to seize the sun and terrorize its family, charge it with 400 crimes, torture a confession, allow the sun to plead guilty to one of the 400 counts, seize all of the sun's property and incarcerate the sun for 5 years with 15 years of probation in a "privatized" gulag.
"The only property that they cannot take from me is my guillotine, as I will bring it to them.”
Its all "adjustable"...
"Two years ago during the scorching summer of 2012, July 1936 lost its place on the leaderboard and July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the United States. Now, as if by magic, and according to NOAA’s own data, July 1936 is now the hottest month on record again. The past, present, and future all seems to be “adjustable” in NOAA’s world."
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/06/29/noaas-temperature-control-knob-for-the-past-the-present-and-maybe-the-future-july-1936-now-hottest-month-again/
I was actually trying to look through the "raw" data for the story to just check and see the ranges, but NOAA seems to only want to give you fancy charts (coincidentally red and blue).
No matter, any and all "data" will be either normalized by their "average" or have been put through their "conclusion maker" and be of no use.
I still posit that you cannot even come to a term called "average global temperature." At least not with any level of certainty. Nor is it useful for anything other than control.
pods
Got all wrapped up with BigJim elsewhere on something he's really interested in...lol.
Yes, its all about control, no one knows what the average temperature is over the life of this planet. If we're going to do that it should be hotter for the average.
From gaseous-molten to ice to now.
Its very cold in space with no star around ;-)
"Nor is it useful for anything other than control". Yep
And ambient temperatures are not the way to take a planets temp. The planets heat budget is distributed by the oceans. Air and land are the least conductive. Serious climatologists don't pay that much attention to air temps. What NOAA did was go back and adjust temps down. So now you will start hearing this month hottest on record, blah, blah blah.
INCORRECT.
Your story is a total fabrication. Wattsup is 100% discredited. This is what actually happened:

NASA Finds 2011 Ninth-Warmest Year on Record
http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2010-warmest-year.html
2010 and 2005 tied for warmest years EVER on record "the next warmest years are 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2009, which are statistically tied for third warmest year. The GISS records begin in 1880."
We're having a mild summer here ...
Philly area is pretty mild, too. Absolutely what I'd call a normal summer, perhaps even a bit on the cool side, despite the fact we're right between the "warmer than normal" and "much warmer than normal" blocks.
Well that totally settles it for me.
Mishitgan is average? Bullshit.
Mishitgan has been pushing almost 10 degrees below average this entire fucking year.
Clearly, imposing a carbon tax will fix it.
Double on "the deniers"...its like the jizya ;-)
Don't understand the down votes, you nailed it.
Shouldn't hurt sheep grazing with so much of our food concocted in labs for processing.
NOAA is full of crap.
Name one better source. Aside from NASA, NOAA & every scientist out there with actual thermometers, no one has any qualifications to disagree.
Every last person on EARTH who said global warming isn't real never took a temperature or even found a record of cooling whatsoever.
With proof like this http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2011-temps.html
and http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2010-warmest-year.html it's clear there's been no "pause" in global warming yet many on zerohedge claim it, as if one could assert the moon was actually green cheese.
oooh ... climate porn. Me so hot.
easy now Cougar we don't want to skew the numbers
It was over a hundert here for two weeks straight.
Of course, it's often over a hundert here in July.
Still, damn hot for building a shed.
NOAA
National Oce..
Federal Agency
For the feds, lies are SOP.
No data from the USG is worth spit.
Was the weather due to the Ukraine separatists or Russia? Did they do it on purpose or was it a mistake?
Now President Petro Poroshenko wants the weather declared a terrist according to international law.
Global warming? What global warming?

Carbon tax? FUCK the carbon tax...LIARS.
Utter nonsense.
Anyone any time can go measure temperature and we can see the heat is rising enough to kill some species of fish & corrals and on top of that, the acidity is up so even when temperature isn't, it's killing the fish we eat, or fish eaten BY fish we eat.
You deniers never get tired of making up stories which contradict evidence we have measured & can continue to go measure right now this very second any time, anywhere.
NOTHING about global warming should EVER be conflated to a CARBON TAX. EVER.
This is never about a tax. Only dumb Americans think that way.
If we deny global warming we'll actually murder the entire species in under 200 years. All humans gone.
That's how serious this is. Probably within 50 years we'll see a drop of 80% of the species just from collapse of food supplies ONLY from global warming.
Misleading title as the chart doesn't say it was the warmest on record. Also, I do not trust data given from people who have an agenda and all those climate folk do. Where I live (Ontario Canada) it wasn't anything special in May and June and we had many cool days.
Despite the above, the weather excuse for misses is of course complete bullshit.
I live in Ontario in an area shown as "much warmer than average" It has been on the cool side here all summer. Today was the first warm day in weeks. There has been a lot of rain this summer.
A few cool nights. The days, however, have been summer-normal, not excessively hot or humid.
NOAA went back in time and changed the temperature for the 1930s
Which was the actual warmest decade on record
Governments can do that, time travel
Retroactive laws, taxes, data...
Prove it
Bullcrap, map shows southern California as above average, and it certainly was below average.
I don't believe a word from these hysterics anymore on general principles.
Thermometers - they're a consspeeeerisssy!!!

Ditto Chris Hedges, who also ignores geoengineering to focus solely on the fossil fools. “The problem, at this point, is not going to be dealt with by small steps. It is going to be dealt with by getting off fossil fuel in the next 10 or 20 years or not at all,” Hedges writes. “Our only salvation is the rapid dismantling of the fossil fuel industry.”
“We’ve got to win quickly if we’re going to win,” McKibben emphasizes after being arrested with Hedges while protesting the Keystone tar sands pipeline. “We’ve already passed the point where we’re going to stop global warming. It has already warmed a degree and there is another degree in the pipeline from carbon already emitted. The heat gets held in the ocean for a while, but it’s already there. We’ve already guaranteed ourselves a miserable century. The question is whether it’s going to be an impossible one.” [Truthdig May 31/11]
Onboard a spinning blue space colony surrounded by the cold irradiated vacuum of deep space, ensuring natural oxygen production and the scrubbing of excess CO2 by forests and tiny phytoplankton ought to top every government priority. Even as Earth’s remaining forests and mangroves continue to be felled and paved over, a thermal barrier is forming on the surface of the warming ocean, preventing mixing with cooler, nutrient-rich layers below. Plankton already hard hit by increasing levels of solar radiation are starving.The phytoplankton population has fallen about 40% since 1950.And it continues to nosedive as ocean temperatures rise and ocean acidification intensifies.
UK Cancer researchers report that skin cancers have more than doubled since the early 80?s, while worldwide some three million people are being blinded every year from UV-induced cataracts annually. High and rising UV levels may also suppress immunity, raising the risk from infectious diseases and limiting vaccine effectiveness.
Extremely high UV concentrations recently measured in northern California also explain sun-scorched forests and widespread stunting of crops. Even whales are getting severely sunburnt, and fish are developing skin cancers from increasing solar radiation.
Are we sure its the sun giving the whale and fish cancer? Not Fukushima?
What? None of that (about the sun) is happening. Solar radiation is not increasing.
UV itself may be getting through in some spots if the ozone isn't thick enough to keep it out - it's always in flux - but total solar irradiance is not increasing.
There's been debate after debate, measurement after measurement, finding no increase whatsoever to the Earth's surface.
Blame it on something beyond our control.
What else but weather after "The Gods of Economics did it" and "No one could see it coming" excuses played out.
That's the whole point: it's not beyond our control, we're controlling it NOW. Not intelligently but we humans are directly controlling the warming.
There should be a new rule...Whenever someone blames poor sales on the weather, everyone within hearing distance should immediately do an "E.F. Hutton", and then, in unison, all yell "Oh SHUT the fuck UP!"
Here is another way to disprove AWG. The Permian Extinction caused temps to rise 5C, that caused methane release to elevate temps an additional 5C. +10C total. This was caused by the eruption of The Siberian Traps. 1 million to 4 million cubic km of ejected volume. Mount Pinatubo, Philippines, 1992, 10 cubic km of ejected volume. 40,000,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. Humans each year, 30,000,000,000 tonnes of CO2 into atmosphere. Need it connected? Humans inject 75 Pinatubos per year of CO2. Siberian Traps injected 100,000 to 400,000 Pinatubos of volume. Pinatubo 4,000,000 tonnnes of CO2 per cubic km. Siberian Traps, by extension, injected 4,000,000 X 4,000,000 tonnes of CO2 and raised temps 5C or 10C on that volume. Thus 16 trillion tonnes of CO2 raises temps 5C, 3.2 trillion tonnes per C. If 10C, 1.5 trillion tonnes to raise global temps one degree Celsius. If humans are injecting 30 BILLION tonnes per year, then to raise global temperatures ONE DEGREE CELSIUS would require 50 to 100 YEARS at CURRENT volumes, not past lower rates. Alarmists claim many degrees of warming. It would require hundred's or thousands of years to raise temps that much at current levels of CO2 output and the output is higher now than in the past.
Incorrect. The permian extinction wasn't a methane crisis it was a HYDROGEN SULFIDE crisis.

It filled the atmosphere & poisoned almost everything that breathed.
Methane & co2 rising was not the significant problem there. It's a leading event but not what did all the killing.
There is only ONE WAY to disprove AWG:
first you have to disprove warming (but you can't) then you have to disprove our chemical output CAN cause warming (you can't) and we can actually measure temperature spikes RIGHT AT THE SOURCE of our methane & CO2 output as the gases diffuse.
This all makes you look like a nonsensetard.
You ran off onto your hamster wheel and lost the plot.
Whether or not Permian was due to methane or CO2 or sulfides, the fact remains that we know how much temperatures rose, how long it took, how much CO2 and sulfides were released, and how much the Siberian Traps and Pinatubo released.
Scale it up, do the maths, and what you find is that humans are having little affect on the planet wrt AWG compared to the alleged temp rise.
-Sure I can. Temps flattened since 1997. You want to cite anecdotal storm figures, I will trot out the tornado outbreaks of the 1930's and 1970's. You want to compare storms, the Hurricanes of the 1930's shall suffice.
I only need prove that chemical output does not result in the same results you and your kind claim. The maths above wrt Siberian Traps show how much CO2 is required to elevate temps 1 degree C. 100 Years at current output levels to raise temps 1 C.
You exhibit binary all-or-nothing thinking. It is a trait of the religious.
I am still waiting for you, or someone like you, to explain how a car in China is elevating the temperature of Mars or Titan and shrinking polar caps on other orbiting objects in our solar system.
Incorrect. Scale it up & we actually see the intensity at any given time from our chemical output far exceeds what nature did, rate for rate.
You need to prove all the points & you can prove none.
"to explain how a car in China is elevating the temperature of Mars or Titan"
Those temperatures are not rising at all at the same time Earth's are. No such change.
You can't demand me to explain a thing we can measure is not happening.
Due to the inverse square law if any source of heat was in common, it would be the sun, and if we could measure an increase on Titan of just 1 degree this would match a rise on Earth so hot all the oceans would boil off.
Clearly this is not happening and THERE IS NO HEAT SOURCE other than the sun in common with Earth & Titan.
You're a blithering idiot.
As if you dared to say I was on a hamster wheel. You literally are using nonsense as if it were science.
yeah, right...
ever get the feeling they're lying to us?

Everyone knows global warming is a myth: as proven by all American thermometers reading decreasing temperatures in both directions.
