WASHINGTON (AP) -- This probably comes as no surprise: Federal scientists say July was the hottest month ever recorded in the contiguous United States. The average temperature for the Lower 48 last month was 77.6 degrees. That breaks the old record from July 1936, during the Dust Bowl, by two-tenths of a degree. Records go back to 1895. Last month also was 3.3 degrees warmer than the 20th century average for July. The first seven months of 2012 were the warmest on record for the nation. And August 2011 through July this year was the warmest 12-month period on record. Climate scientist Jake Crouch of the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., said the U.S. is getting a double whammy of both localized heat and drought along with effects of global warming.

Dear NOAA and Seth, which 1930′s were you comparing to when you say July 2012 is the record warmest? Posted on August 8, 2012 by Anthony Watts The press release is out, and the usual serial bloviators are rushing to trumpet the news. July 2012 was the hottest ever on record! “Yikes! We’re gonna roast! Global Warming!” they wail on Twitter and blogs. The driver of this is AP’s Seth Borenstein, who never met a hot story he didn’t like. Here’s a quote from that story Ouch July in US was hottest ever in history books: The average temperature last month was 77.6 degrees. That breaks the old record from July 1936 by 0.2 degree, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Records go back to 1895. … Three of the nation’s five hottest months on record have been recent Julys: This year, 2011 and 2006. Julys in 1936 and 1934 round out the top five. Of course the first thing I do when I see these sorts of things is go look at the data. It tells a far more interesting and credible story. Here’s some graphs NCDC and Seth won’t ever put in a press release or AP story: From NCDC’s Climate at a glance page: wattsupwiththat.files.wor.../conus_july_2012_ncdc.png Now let’s compare to July 1936: wattsupwiththat.files.wor...1936_ncdc.png?w=640&h=515 A few things stand out right away. 1. Due to regional weather pattern variability, one state in 1936 had below normal temperatures, Texas. Take the 1936 Texas below normal temperature out of the mix and there goes your 0.2F record making difference with July 2012. 2. Many states had warmer temperatures in 1936 than 2012. Here’s a table, all numbers in degrees Fahrenheit: State 1936 2012 Montana 74.7 71.4 N. Dakota 79.7 73.8 S. Dakota 83.8 78.8 Minnesota 76.2 74.4 Wisconsin 74.8 74.7 Nebraska 83.1 80.0 Iowa 82.7 79.4 Kansas 85.1 84.3 Oklahoma 85.8 85.5 Missouri 84.9 83.7 Illinois 83.1 81.7 Indiana 80.9 80.2 Mississippi 82.0 81.8 California 76.3 75.0 Now compare that to the same map of 1934, and we also see many warmer states than in 2012. wattsupwiththat.files.wor...1934_ncdc.png?w=640&h=509 What’s interesting is that that if AGW had overcome natural variability, and many claim this, we wouldn’t see any statewide temperatures in 2012 lower than in 1936 or 1934. And with all the adjustments that have been going on, which 1930′s are we really talking about? The real one or the adjusted one? NASA GISS uses NCDC adjusted data, which according to this graph from Steve Goddard, suggests there’s been a whole lot of adjusting going on. The graph below shows the almost two degree US upwards adjustment trend being applied by USHCN between the raw thermometer data and the published monthly data. stevengoddard.files.wordp...24-aug-07-13-49.jpg?w=640 The adjustments they are making are greater than the claimed trend, meaning that all man made US warming is occurring inside ORNL and GISS computers. Speaking of adjustments, I recalled the GISS Y2K debacle in 2007 where McIntyre discovered a mistake in GISTEMP. I’ve recovered the graphs from Hansen’s 1999 press release. This was originally part of “Lights Out Upstairs”a guest post by Steve McIntyre on my old original blog. Just look at how much warmer 1934 was in 1999 than it is now. Much of this can be attributed to NCDC’s USHCNv2 adjustments. See the rest and the graphs that wouldn't post. You liberals are so gullible.
Ouch, baby... VERY Ouch! "Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all."

lol
You talkin to your peeps, SJN? Cause you ain't talkin to me. Dirty Fuckin Hippie is the moniker you'll be lookin' for. "The agricultural revolution began independently in multiple locations almost immediately after the establishment of indigenous societies in nearly every major geographic region of the Earth. Since the tribal system was so successful it experienced steadily growing populations, and these population pressures would have created increased competition over the available resources, ultimately resulting in the migration of populations in order to meet their resource needs and maintain the growth rate. This process of expansion is shown by the species’ global establishment by 12,000 B.C. However, as tribal populations reached near total coverage of the planet, migratory patterns would have become more restricted by the presence of other human populations."

You must live on another planet. And that's what it's going to take to power your civilization down.....;}
And in a what'sUp column, I only read to the first False. Which means the First paragraph....;}
But of course! Anything that might challenge your preconceived belief would upset you to much.
LMFAO....Why don't you walk outside and ask someone how hot it is right now, SJN? This is not a ONe Off. 22887 - /n/ - News operatorchan.org/n/res/22887.html 329th consecutive month with above average temperatures. In 118 years of U.S. records, July 2012 stands as king, hotter than any month previously observed. The Only question left is how much you and yours can take of your Cognitive dissonance. When the USSA sends a carrier to the Arctic? NYC goes underwater?
toe-jam is certifiable. He/she serves as an example of the sheer idiocy of some people... completely willing to believe whatever the state says, no matter how utterly absurd.

You can't upset me. ;} Now tell me your idea of how many humans will be on the planet in 20 years. Waiting.....;} crickets chirping.
