GDP Watch: Summer 2014 Was World's Warmest Ever
Since weather has become the most crucial factor in forecasting economic growth, we thought it crucial to the future of central bank policy to note that Summer 2014 was officially the hottest one ever, according to NOAA. This of course means there is "pent-up" cold weather, which may explain the collapse in global growth expectations. However, this chatter about heat may surprise Americans (aside from those that live in the Western States) as the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. were running cooler than normal (thus concerns about growth). According to NOAA’s records, this is the 38th consecutive August and 354th consecutive month with a global average temperature above the 20th century average.
As The Washington Post reports,
It was the warmest summer on Earth since records began in 1880, according to a monthly climate report by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center.
In addition, August 2014 was the warmest August on record for the globe, according to all three major organizations that track the earth’s temperature.
Over land and ocean, NOAA reports that August ended 0.75 degrees Celsius above the 20th century average, while the summer months, June through August, were 0.71 degrees warmer than normal.
Which explains this... (as meteoreconomists downgrade growth expectations on the basis that hot summer means cold winter in the Keynesian mean-reverting world of weather prognostication)
Global GDP growth plunged to cycle lows as the "hot" summer swept across the world.
But...
Over land, the high latitudes were incredibly warm compared to normal, in Siberia in particular. The sizzling heat in the western U.S. and Mexico drove up the temperature for the JMA analysis, while the eastern U.S. was cooler than average in all three analyses.
The summer and August records may come as a surprise to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S., which were running cooler (and wetter) than normal according to both NASA and NOAA.
According to NOAA’s records, this is the 38th consecutive August and 354th consecutive month with a global average temperature above the 20th century average.

So prepare yourself for Q3 earnings excuses that it was not Goldilocks... in fact it was too hot to shop/spend/invest in capex in the West and too cold to buy iPhones in the East...

Global Warming: they hate us for our freedoms
Energy efficiency is a psuedonym for LOWER STANDARD OF LIVING.
When that fat fuck Gore sells his beachhouse and private plane, then I may pay attention.

Way to think for yourself.

^ this bitchez, the difference between 'weather' & 'climate' = 30 yrs of warming
Unadjusted temp data plz.
The NOAA and NASA data series are highly manipulated and biased to warmer temperatures for political expediencies.
Global Warming is a Hoax

Why do you keep posting that moron when he's been proven wrong on so many occasions?
As posted before on this specific topic:
http://reason.com/blog/2014/06/23/did-nasanoaa-dramatically-alter-us-tempe
WUWT even called it out..
Mother fuckers can get all preachy about climate change when the weather guy can reliably tell me what next Saturday is going to be like.
A pox on all their houses. Gore and ilk are in it for money. Try may be believers, maybe not, but they are most certainly in it for the bucks. The scientists that won't release raw data to allow fact checking and replication are absolutely lying about it. .gov sees it as a vector to social engineer. Everybody preaching climate has a reason to be dirty. Fuck them all.
Running above 20th century averages?
Have I been Rip van Winkled for the last 14 years, as all the NOAA stations have had subdivisions built up around them?
I am saying you can't trust them. They have shown a pattern of lies previous. They haven't even rolled out crocodile tears let alone genuine contrition. They have blown credibility.
What about the thickening ice packs?
What about the N. American cool wave?
What can we trust about any of this?
They are talking about 0.5 to 2.0 degrees difference. There is more variance than that in the instruments used over the past 100 years.
We really have no idea what the "truth" is, other than the fact that the Ice Age ended without Humanity- and it is pollution that matters, much more so than the "climate change" bogeyman.
A Hoax, A Scam, An Excuse for more Taxes and Regulations; take your pick. The only thing it isn't is real.
Unadjusted temp data plz.

"The summer of 2014 is the warmest ever"---In technical language this is what we scientists call a "Lie". Have a nice day.
The manipulated placement and removal of temperature monitoring stations explains raise in temp. Remove stations in cooler areas. Increase stations in hotter areas. Place stations in metal buildings in black top parking lots etc.
I hear'd it's deh alienz dat taken ovr since roswell been fakin the temp data from thousands of stations worldwide 2 fool evr1 into votin for deh demacratz and bowing down before obama (Satan) and his consituncey the islamics & nigera and the jihad and al gore is pure evil. For definitely
Alienz be damned. It is all govt that I don't trust. Every govt worker throughout the world is a lying selfserving sneaking cheating scoundral...down to the cop on the beat. They all want me to bendover and hand over my gelt. Fuck them all.
I upvote you cause of da laf u gave me.

AGW & .gov stupidity are mostly independent topics. But by denying agw altogether out of a loathing of .gov all you're doing is ensuring down the road you will get fucked harder when the solutions are tabled.
And if you hate .gov shouldn't you love green energy? No more centralized system than fossil fuels.
HINDENBERG OMEN CONFIRMED??? http://www.gold-eagle.com/article/high-alert-stock-market-dangerous-plac...
Good catch!
Here, it was 20 degrees cooler than average, last winter.
Here, this was the first summer, I can remember, where there were no heat waves.
Here, it's global cooling.
Caused by global warming no doubt!
Here, it's global cooling.
Apparently you are unaware of what 'global' refers to..
Nope we a b uch of red neck hillbillies. Pleas esplain lucy what gobal means..
When you t works in ' ' is make you so much more impotent.

OK, hope you're sitting down because this is likely to challenge every facet of your mental capacity.
'global' in this instance refers to an overall trend across many areas, one could say 'the globe' or 'the planet you are on'. it is possible to observe region specific weather counter to the 'global' climate (i.e. snow in alaska) trend but these region specific incidences do not contradict the 'global' trend.
Yes, i am aware the difference between weather and climate is a highly complex & frequently misunderstood topic on zh but I refer you to look here for more information:

The second is actually watts, with no trend lines (very helpful!)
But yes, let's obsess over 1895 / 1936 - which really was the previous hottest month.. that REALLY matters.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/16/august-was-hottest-on...
What say watts?
NOAA?/ NOAA was caught manipulating the actualt data and inserting their model data. They have no street cred therefor neither do you.
Peace
Enjoy your coolaid

Right, but a guy paid by oil lobbyists is reliable?
OK if you don't trust NOAA, how about these guys?

Or perhaps exxon has joined with satan obama and his envrioterrorists to trick everyone into... ah I don't know you'll have to fill in the rest.
And an amusing note from watts:
https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/ncdc_loti_1880-2013_...
Watts best argument: it's a sine wave man!! You see, it's all going to get better! Recall: watts (unlike you) does not dispute NOAA data most of the time. When it seems to agree with his hypothesis he talks about it being accurate, when it contradicts his hypothesis he complains it's being adjusted.

The world has been much warmer than this before.....so the whole "global warming is bad and because of humans" is just plain stupid.
The earth has had alternating ice-ages and warming spells for all of history. But hey, I guess every sucker needs a cause to "feelz good" about himself.
> rate of change <
So higher CO2 concentrations than in the last 650k years doesn't matter, yeah? And that the world has been hotter in the past means it's totally fine if it starts heating up again?
NOAA is to climate data what the BLS is to economic data. You'll never hear from them that the long term correlation between CO2 content and mean temperature broke down when the industrial revolution started pumping out record amouts of CO2 (CO2 happens to be one eighth as effective in retaining heat as water vapor is but Goldman hasn't found a way to tax water vapor). You won't see any graphs on global temperatures that entend back further than the mini-iceage in the 1600s because that impressive ramp in temperature disappears into the background if you do. You'll never see a compilation of the twenty years of bad climate predictions that make the IMF's economic predictions look accurate by comparison. You'll hear about how the polar ice is about to disappear (according to Al Gore it should all be gone by now) but you won't see the graph showing that Arctic ice is 50% greater than the low it hit a couple years ago, (it is lower than average but not as low as the stories would portray). You certainly won't hear from them that the Antarctic icecap just blew out the alltime record for how much of the southern ocean is frozen. I'm not sure what 'summer' means in a global context but they sure had a cold 'summer' down there this year and last year set the record for the coldest temperatures ever recorded, ever, globally, anywhere. As a scientist I detest the way the .GOV agencies have politicized scientific data into a battle of 'anthropogenic global warming' vs 'no climate change' that is about as real as the fake red/blue battle between CNN and Fox news. There are changes happening but we'll have a hard time figuring out what they are and how to address them when scientists can lose their jobs and certainly their funding if they deviate from the Goldman-backed global warming propaganda we are having shoved down our throats. Polution is real and the climate does seem to be hitting more extremes but we're being kept in the dark and fed a bunch of manure.
Nope we a bunch of red neck hillbillies. Pleas esplain lucy what gobal means..
When you the words in ' ' is make you so much more impotent.
Really ??? i thought it was the most mild summer in recent memory.....no long heat waves at all, in the NorthEast ??????
We used the AC twice during this summer here in NE Maryland because it always seemed to cool off at night. I'm not complaining but it still feels like summer never really kicked in this year.
FWIW, coolest August in over 70 years in the Shenandoah Valley. One August morning, I actually had to place a couple pieces of wood in the boxwood stove to warm up the house...
I believe that was before they took the actual temps out and replaced with their model temp like they were already caught doing.
I live in FEMA IV district and the past two summers have been very tame. I guess they are doing a better job of chemtrailing here. Lucky us.
Bullshit. Around here, this summer was the coolest and dampest in a series of cool, damp summers and long cold winters.
Do they think nobody sticks their heads out the windows, or goes outside anymore?
Yet we have record ice in the Antarctic.

It's dat ol' Fukushima gonna git ya!
True Dat... Fukushima laying bare the folly of man.
The ice caps are growing like no tomorrow and the entire last year has been colder than average. Look into the way the data is massaged
Dude UNESCO and NOAA have been co-opted by Freddy Kruger.
"The NOAA Global (Land and Ocean) Surface Temperature Anomaly dataset is a product of the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). NCDC merges their Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature version 3b (ERSST.v3b) with the Global Historical Climatology Network-Monthly (GHCN-M) version 3.2.0 for land surface air temperatures. NOAA infills missing data for both land and sea surface temperature datasets using methods presented in Smith et al (2008). Keep in mind, when reading Smith et al (2008), that the NCDC removed the satellite-based sea surface temperature data because it changed the annual global temperature rankings. Since most of Smith et al (2008) was about the satellite-based data and the benefits of incorporating it into the reconstruction, one might consider that the NCDC temperature product is no longer supported by a peer-reviewed paper."
Alternately:
Like the UAH lower troposphere temperature data, Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) calculates lower troposphere temperature anomalies from microwave sounding units aboard a series of NOAA satellites. RSS describes their data at the Upper Air Temperature webpage. The RSS data are supported by Mears and Wentz (2009) Construction of the Remote Sensing Systems V3.2 Atmospheric Temperature Records from the MSU and AMSU Microwave Sounders. RSS also presents their lower troposphere temperature data in various subsets. The land+ocean TLT data are here. Curiously, on that webpage, RSS lists the data as extending from 82.5S to 82.5N, while on their Upper Air Temperature webpage linked above, they state:
The August 2014 RSS lower troposphere temperature anomaly is +0.19 deg C. It dropped sharply (a decrease of about -0.17 deg C) since July 2014.

This is the work that needs to be done. I wouldn't trust the NOAA as far as I could kick 'em. What's a pity is how mankind got his stupid ass in the position that'd he'd ever need to know all this shit in the first place. What? It's important for the Supermaxxes and the Militaries and creates thousands of jobs? Well by all means Daddy Warbucks!
God gave us wet index fingers to hold to the wind and cranky knees to whistle a warning.
They're spraying your skies with weed killer Madge because they just don't like you anymore. Thanks for the brutal math viator.
In our fast moving world some stories that should be noted often are overlooked and ignored. We all saw and heard about hurricane Sandy, in addition to flooding the subway system of New York and halting financial trading Sandy may of even tilted the Presidential election.
If Sandy had indeed made a difference in the election outcome one might say Sandy has had the impact of also altering our future. While we are becoming more use to these uncommon "weather occurrences", it is possible that we should be viewing them as a warning of worse yet to come. More on this subject in the article below.

"In our fast moving world some stories that should be noted often are overlooked and ignored. We all saw and heard about hurricane Sandy, in addition to flooding the subway system of New York and halting financial trading Sandy may of even tilted the Presidential election."
That would be tropical storm Sandy. It was not a hurricane when it made either of it's two land falls. The flooding of the subway happened at high tide.
Politicking stopped in the immediate wake of Sandy and the wind went out of Romney's sails as a result. Romney never recovered momentum.
My point was more focused on the idea and irony that we often fail to pay enough attention to weather and how it can even influence our future in ways that go undetected. Another example that is often forgotton is Washington pushed through a massive 60 billion dollar aid bill to rebuild property damaged from the storm. This is paid for by all Americans not just those on the East coast. The ugly math is this storm cost each and every American roughly 180 dollars.

Come on Americans....support more regulations and taxes on all carbon based energy so we can save the planet! Don't worry that it strains your budget and makes our economy even less competitive on the global stage. And just ignore the fact that 1200+ new coal fired plants have been built or are under development outside of the USA, including 800 in India and china. Also, a big thank you to JP Morgan and Citi for providing over 30 billion in financing.

Fuck off Agenda 21! You are the hot air. Want to challenge the sun and galactic anomalies within solar transition thru the milkyway. We are talking about earth, not tax credits.. Common core education is going to backfire when children will expose intelligence vs. your fraudulent lower IQ system.
Well now I see why tptb are picking on Russia to the point of war.... there's going to be some very valuable real estate to grab in Siberia in coming years.
edit Now I can't figure whether I really was being sarcastic at all??! They might actually be that crazy!
europe had the coldest summer since years!
Not in Oklahoma, it wasn't. We had fewer 100 degree+ days this year than I can remember since moving here. Had numerous days where the temps dropped into the 70's, nad even a few 60's. In the summer! We had an amazingly mild summer this year, leading to concerns the winter is going to be long and harsh. That's what we're being told anyways. Early winter, and long.
"According to NOAA’s records, this is the 38th consecutive August and 354th consecutive month with a global average temperature above the 20th century average."
How many consecutive months above average was it during the Medieval Warming period or the Roman Warming period?
Below is a list of the worlds ten most crucial problems counted down from "least to most crucial" The world must begin to address these many problems with long term solutions. Most of these are issues that center on our sustainability. Sadly, politicians do not deal well with such things leaving us without direction. As we look at the human condition we can let fate take us where it may choose or we can take control of our future by proper planning and by guiding it as best we can.

"as meteoreconomists downgrade growth expectations on the basis that hot summer means cold winter in the Keynesian mean-reverting world of weather prognostication"
I saw an article about weather and somehow knew ZH wouldn't miss an opportunity to take a swipe at Keynesianism. Do you jokers even know what Keynesianism is?
Keynesianism means we can solve all our problems with the slick trick, the quick fix and the gimmick.
When I was a kid in school they told us we were headed into an "ice age". Then it was warming. Now its climate change. I think "climate change" is my fav. since it implies both. Its the cold that is bad for life not warmer weather so a small rise in temps. is good. As for 30 years of data or even going back to 1880 its a joke on global time lines as it isn't nearly long enough. Is the earth warming? Want to help? Don't have kids. don't drive a car. don't fart.
These writers need to learn what the difference is between ever and on record. On record is 130-135 years while ever is in the billions. Get a damn clue
Yeeks, big anomaly in Kamchatka, Alaska and Newfoundland! Hint for those enjoying the "hottest" summer on record: don't chuck those parkas yet.
Acid rain, ozone holes, climate warming...Same old shit from the same fucktards.
Americans... they think the planet starts in new york and end in s.francisco.
well fyi the summer here in Portugal was the COLDEST since 1989
and to be honest I dont remember EVER a colder summer
