Hmmm. :stop:
The only year when the spring started colder was 1975.

ETA: A few of the comments are particularly interesting.
The hey days for the “climate clowns” is just about up…is it not?
I mean…they rode this thing as long as they could but I think even they know this lie is about to come to an end.
Sad thing was that 99% of the things the Green Mafia wanted to pass did zilch to stop, slow or reverse any perceived warming of the planet.
Can we go back to our regular light bulbs too? I hate the blue tint of these glaring squiggly bulbs! LOL

Am I the only one who thinks there is nothing wrong with looking out for our environment?
The two are not the same.
Nope. I love, respect and look out for my environment.
What does that have to do with the myth of MAN MADE global warming and the fact I can see through the BS “Statistics” they report as being absolute proof of MAN MADE global warming?
Caring for the environment and believing in Man Made global wamring- are not mutually inclusive…
Call it whatever you want. It’s hotter and drier around this neck of the woods and that ain’t good for nobody.
Trying to dismiss the effects of 150 years of continuous burning of fossil fuels as having little affect on the atmosphere is intellectually dishonest.
Does it have a huge effect? A effect bigger than natural sources of CO2 and other greenhouse gases? Perhaps not, but its still an effect either way.
I can’t understand why so many want to dismiss the research into more alternative, cleaner sources of energy and instead want to parade around boasting that we still have “a lot” of oil left and we shouldn’t worry about it just yet. In fact, the fact that these sources of energy are not infinite are one of the reasons we should be looking into alternative sources of energy, not only because of their affects on the environment.
Might just be but when our weather people can’t predict things 12hrs in advance I don’t trust anyone to predict things next week, next year or 100 years from now like their hockey stick graph.
WC, WU, and a local places have been dead wrong everyday for the last week. Yesterday was supposed to be rainy with thunderstorms, and it was bright blue all day with an errant cloud. Today supposed to sunny, and storm cells pop up all around us. Got a nice shower earlier.
Goremons… :rolleyes:
I think I agree with almost everything stated here so far.
I agree that man has certainly made an impact on the environment, but just how much is probably something that cannot possibly be determined. The other part of that is that the world’s environment has been changing for untold numbers of years. Why do we think that it should stop changing as soon as we start collecting data and that continued change must be due to man’s interference?
But at the end of the day, I think this is as much a racket to gain control as is the killing of the dollar and the 2nd Amendment.
When evidence comes from a side without a financial stake in their “findings”, I might give a shit. Might.
Hint: That’s not Al Gore.
Clean environments make sense. Overbearing Govt intrusion like mandated retard bulbs filled with poison do not.
I think this is the best part of the entire blog. Cliff’s Notes:
Storm intensity is not increasing….
Assessment reports allege that extreme storm events are increasing even though storm severity per se is not reported or documented in any government archives. A “storm” is not even a well-defined object in climatology. There is an apparent increase in the number of tornados over time. However, improvements in radar quality and coverage over the past decades cause a detection bias trend, with more, smaller tornados being detected and recorded over time. Furthermore, increases in available disaster assistance aid have encouraged more frequent reporting of smaller storms in efforts to get disaster aid. Counting only category F4 and F5 events, which are relatively consistently detectable and recorded, there is no trend over the past 100 years (Balling and Cerveny 2003).Bouziotas et al. presented a paper at the EGU a few weeks ago (PDF) and concluded:
Analysis of trends and of aggregated time series on climatic (30-year) scale does not indicate consistent trends worldwide. Despite common perception, in general, the detected trends are more negative (less intense floods in most recent years) than positive. Similarly, Svensson et al. (2005) and Di Baldassarre et al. (2010) did not find systematical change neither in flood increasing or decreasing numbers nor change in flood magnitudes in their analysis.
- Global tropical cyclone activity, as measured by frequency and ACE is at the lowest in 30 years,
Here’s another germane article:

Temperature not increasing….
http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/noaa-tells-a-texas-sized-lie/
There is significant evidence that would tend to falsify global warming. The mean global air temperature has not risen for the last fifteen years. At the end of March the global extent of sea ice was above the long-term average and higher than it was in March of 1980. Last December, snow cover in the northern hemisphere was at the highest level since record keeping began in 1966. The UK just experienced the coldest March of the last fifty years. There has been no increase in droughts or wildfires. Worldwide hurricane and cyclone activity is near a forty-year low.http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/smoking-gun-that-tobs-adjustments-are-garbage/ 72,989 correctly recorded daily high temperature records in the US since 1895. 84% of them were set when CO2 was below 350ppm.

The truth is we are “Still waiting for greenhouse”.
The best capitalism is making your competition illegal to sell…
My favorite part about the “climate change” crowd is their firm belief that the world has “warmed” in the last 150 years and they base that from data taken to the .1 degree from instruments 150 years ago…
We have arguments today about the resolution of our gauging equipment but no one doubts the ability of someone 150 years ago to measure temperature repeatably to the tenth of one degree. I am sure they have GR&R data showing how repeatable their instruments were at the time…:rolleyes:
Climates do change, all the time, it has been colder before, it has been warmer before, that we can tell by the dispersion of fossils and historical records about different areas of the planet and what could and could not be grown there over the centuries. Attempting to make predictions on what is happening on a 2,000,000,000 year time scale by looking at a sample of data less than 100 years old (and reliable data for even less time) is like looking at the tip of a elephants toenail an describing the entire elephant correctly.
I have no problem whatsoever will seeking alternative energy sources and developing “clean” energy, particularly those that will utilize our VAST coal reserves. But not under the Chicken Little threat of "OMG the Earth is going to DIE!!! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!?!?! Now give me more tax funding to study it! It is very important!
Dona websearch on GEOENGINEERING.
“Voila!”
“Bam!”
Fill in your own “expletive”.
“One man with courage makes a majority.”
This. Although I might add a poltical axe to grind in addition to financial.
Funny you mention this. Tonight while my Wife and daughter ate dinner, I was transfixed on the sky above. I’m very certain I was looking at Chemtrails and not Contrails. Been doing a little web surfing since.
MMGW™ is going to force women to whore themselves out.
Maybe not a bad thing, depending on your perspective…
What is intellectually dishonest is fear mongering the world into trillion dollar “solutions” of questionable effect.
Most of you guys are probably too young to remember that in the early '70 they were predicting an ice age within the next decade due to global cooling due to, yeah, you guessed it CO2 emissions (aka greenhouse) reflecting the sun’s energy back into space.
It’s all about money. Give someone a dire prediction of impending doom and the promise that “if you fund my research, I can find a solution”. Funny how we haven’t found the “solution” but sure can keep finding money for global cooling/global warming/climate change/flavor of the week.
I remember talking to a meteorologist back when CFC’s were all the rage and how they somehow managed to stay parked above the US despite the fact that they had to travel up through the 100+ mph Jet Stream. I pointed out that they would be distributed around the globe by said Jet Stream, but he was unconvinced.
And the Ozone Hole, how could we forget that? Had a Green Peacer come by and say; “a six month study of the Antarctic showed that the hole was getting bigger.” “Which six months?” I asked. She didn’t know, but asked what difference did it make. I asked if she’d ever had chemistry and then proceeded to explain to her that O3 was an unstable ion and tended to break down in the absence of sunlight, like when it was dark in the Antarctic. The subject was changed immediately after that. Really had fun disassembling her world climate view and kept her from bothering the neighbors for the next hour.
