    You are horribly mis-informed. The polar ice caps are shrinking. What the deniers, the deceivers are playing on is that at the coldest part of the winter the ice cap extent is as far as it has ever been. This is because it gets well below freezing in the winter time, the lack of sunshine and all. However as NOAA instruments and NASA satellites show the ice sheet is getting thinner every year and has been melting back so much in the summer that shipping companies are opening up new shipping lanes and Russia is looking into establishing a port on their northern shore.

    Kind of like when they faked the moon landings?

    Just as July is typically the hottest.

    It's not my fault you don't understand the Glacial Cycle.

    It is always my fault isn't it? I mean what was I thinking. Why did I waste all that time learning so much science Why did I waste so much time figuring out some of the most complicated mathematics? And all those books I read? What was I thinking? After all any dolt who spends enough time listening to the likes of Mark Levin (who has absolutely no scientific background) will soon enough know more than the collective wisdom of the worlds scientific community.

    Wow, I'm impressed. And to think with all that education you have nothing better to do but spout off in this forum. Job market must be even worse than I thought. Mom have your breakfast ready yet?

    LOL 0.1 degree warmer than the alleged last warmest month. Notice no mention of the uncertainty range. Notice in the OP that the portray a La Niña as a warming event. At least they are letting on they know what the biggest driver of global temperature is, the oceans.

    Can anyone here tell us what warms the oceans?

    Did the average temperatures start reducing after the end of the last El Nino. Oh look, it continued rising!

    - - - Updated - - -

    Can you point out a period of 20 years in the last million years where the average recorded global temperature changed by one degree over those 20 years?

    Yes, it started reducing after the El Nino, that is why they claim one month as the hottest.

    During the Younger Dryas event it changed 18 C in a very short period of time.

    Global warming does not mean that one month in one year is hotter than a previous one month in one year!

    BTW There have been more than one El Nino during the last twenty years and no reduction in average global temperature over those twenty years

    Edit The Younger Dryas was not a twenty year period

    It does in the case of the OP or did you not read it?

    And based on this article:
    http://www.climatecentral.org/news/august-ties-july-as-hottest-month-on-record-20691

    The graph shows the continuing trend in rising temperature of every month in each year particularly over the last twenty years. The OP is pointing out that those months were the hottest, it is not pointing out that this alone proves global warming. The trend is showing rapidly increasing global temperature over a short period of time.

    That is why I asked anyone to link to a past period of 20 years that showed a recorded one degree change in global temperature over that period of 20 years.

    1900's to 1940's, statistically the same rate of change.

    Sure thing. LOL Of course according to NASA there is no 1 degree change in the last 20 years.

    You're right on that. I misread where NASA stated "The planet’s average surface temperature has risen about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1.0 degree Celsius) since the late-19th century, a change largely driven by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.
    Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with 15 of the 16 warmest years on record occurring since 2001. Last year was the first time the global average temperatures were 1 degree Celsius or more above the 1880-1899 average. "

    Sorry to burst your big hysterical "global warming" bubble, but the hottest year on record was 1998: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesta...close-to-hottest-year-on-record/#658974723c6b

    From the story at the link:

    Satellite temperature readings going back to 1979 show 1998 was by far the warmest year in the satellite era, followed by 2010. 2015 comes in third. And these results are only for the period since 1979.
    2015 should have been warmer. This past year saw what is likely the most powerful El Nino during the satellite temperature record. With a record El Nino, we should have experienced record high temperatures. Yet we didn’t.
    A record El Nino resulting in less-than-record temperatures is another sign that global warming is not all that activists crack it up to be. Indeed, if a record strong El Nino cannot bring global temperatures back to the warmth of 1998, what can – and when will that be? 18 years after 1998, global warming still has not created the runaway warming we were told to expect.



    Guess we'd better go find something else to soil our trousers over....

    How about Carbon Dioxide! :eekeyes: . Oops... it only makes up 0.04% of the Earth's atmosphere, and, it's an organic molecule that is NECESSARY for life to exist on this planet.

    Want to be scared of something? I'm scared to death of the residual damage caused by eight long, miserable, (*)(*)(*)(*)ing years under THIS clown --

    [​IMG]. But, thanks to "the stupidity of the American voter" (Jonathan Gruber), Obama lasted EIGHT YEARS....:wall:

    The 'record year' is based mostly on Arctic temperature where ther are no stations to record data but are, in fact, interpolated from a few ground stations, basically a 1200 km guess.

    Can you guess accurately what the temperature it is 1200 km (>700 miles) north of you?

    I remember a few years back that NASA satellites said upper Lake Michigan was running at 700 degrees.

    How overall global temperatures are arrived at depends on a lot of things. I did my time in the Air Force as a Weather Observer, so I have training and experience in this field.

    I noticed that the official temperatures at O'Hare Field near Chicago never exceeded 97 degrees this last summer. It has hit 100 or higher in previous years. So, last year around Chicago was cooler.

    As an Air Force Weather Observer, I know how to take an air temperature reading. No, it is not as simple as you might think. One problem that runs rampant nowadays is the 'heat island' effect. Temperature readings in cities are skewed to the high end. I once did some internet checking of official temperature recording sites and found all kinds of errors in placement of instrument shelters; one was five feet from an operating incinerator.

    As I understand it, we still have a few thousand years to go in this warm cycle after an ice age, and there are scientists that calculate that if we do every stupid plan to destroy our economy proposed by the religious climate change left, we would alter the overall temperature by ONE TENTH of ONE degree in 100 YEARS.

    If you really believe that we should DO SOMETHING, then start questioning why China is being allowed to bring a coal-fired power plant online at the rate of one every week by the U.N.
    If you REALLY want to cut carbon dioxide emissions, then get behind nuclear power. The new nuke designs are immune from melt-down and they use the depleted uranium from old reactors.

    Indeed.
    Until the Global Alarmists get China and India to comply with current emissions standards in the US, there's no reason to place any more restrictions here.
