Continuing the pattern established in the spring, extending through the summer and into September, new record high temperatures are outpacing record low temperatures in the U.S. for the 10th consecutive month. Preliminary data from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) for October show over 1500 new record highs, vs. slightly more than 300 lows, giving a ratio of 4.75 to 1. For the year to date, new highs are exceeding new lows by a ratio of 2.8 to 1. Reversing the trend in September, new record warm minimum temperatures also exceeded record high maximums as they have in nearly every month so far in 2010. The excess of high minimum records was particularly strong in the summer, when as many as 3761 were reported in August alone. With the exception of a cold spell from October 5th through 7th, record highs equaled or exceeded record lows every day of the month. The large monthly excess of heat records vs. cold records was driven by two very warm spells, one in each half of the month. The first one, around Columbus Day, peaked on the 11th, when 194 record highs were set, vs. only 1 record low. In a 3-day period, 530 heat records were set, over 50% more than the cold records for the entire month. In connection with the Minnesota Maxi-cyclone late in the month, many more records were set in the eastern half of the country. There were 325 individual record high temperatures from the 26th through the 28th, more than the total lows for the whole month. During the same 3 days, there were only 18 record lows.

Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
2010 the Hottest Ever. To be one of the Coolest years of the decade. It's All over. Especially as one of the Main Planks of the GOP will be to turn back ANY and ALL progress toward stopping 450 ppm. Actually a vote for the GOP would be a vote to get this charade over ASAP.
And I really love this. The AGW deniers citing snow as evidence that the Planet is NOT heating up: # # Tom Nelson: Hottest year ever update: European ski resorts opening ... Oct 30, 2010 ...

November 1, 2010 A favorite attack line of conservatives and/or disinformers is that progressives are elitists who supposedly “espouse their intellectual superiority.” The goal of this disingenuous attack is so that they can push the Big Oil, Corporate Polluter agenda and appear to care about the middle class, while putting the screws to them, and so they can undercut the credibility of all ‘experts,’ especially scientists, whose work is crucial to preserving clean-air, clean water, and a livable climate. The attack is particularly laughable coming from elite disinformers who themselves treat the American public with so much disdain by lying non-stop to further an agenda that will enrich the rich and put the screws to pretty much everyone else. The GOOD NEWS: We don't get enough oil to fill the pipelines, then no more Planet Killing. Past the point of national bankruptcy circumstances are bound to become decidedly non-ideal, but the implications of this remain unclear. Will that hapless country still be able continue borrowing money internationally in order to import enough oil to keep its economy functioning, and, if so, under what terms, and for how much longer? It would be nice to know how this story ends ahead of time, but unfortunately all we can do is wait and see. BOO 8D
Remember, perhaps the main reason the country has failed to act on climate change is the immoral, but brilliantly successful, disinformation campaign funded by Big Oil and billionaire polluters — the pollutocrats (see “From promoting acid rain to climate denial — over 20 years of David Koch’s polluter front groups“) — and embraced by the elite conservative media, pundits, and politicians.
" The more important point is that the rapid increase in the human-driven component of the forcing are increasingly dwarfing the small, slow natural forcings, rendering them increasingly irrelevant (see “Humans boosting CO2 14,000 times faster than nature, overwhelming slow negative feedbacks“). In the Anthropocene Epoch, humankind’s destiny is in its hands." Crazy the way youth is totally ignorant of the fact that their world will be hell compared to today. Party on Dudes/Dudettes!!!!
Greenland ice mass loss after the 2010 summer by John Cook, Skeptical Science, November 1, 2010 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released the Arctic Report Card. The report contains a wealth of information about the state of climate in the Arctic circle (mostly disturbing). Especially noteworthy is the news that in 2010, Greenland temperatures were the hottest on record. It also experienced record setting ice loss by melting. This ice loss is reflected in the latest data from the GRACE satellites which measure the change in gravity around the Greenland ice sheet (H/T to Tenney Naumer from Climate Change: The Next Generation and Dr. John Wahr for granting permission to repost the latest data). http://climatechangepsychology.blogspot.com/

They don't realize that warmer air holds more moisture than colder air?
They don't realize that warmer air holds more moisture than colder air? They don't realiza alot of things. And note how the MSM never seems to be able to find the time to tell them. 8D This is gonna hit like a Louisville Slugger. ;}
But of course we've got time to put out US AgitProp: "UPDATE II: Here's what NPR listeners heard on Friday (h/t Pedinska): MELISSA BLOCK: Now, Dina, the fact that these packages were coming from Yemen targeting apparently Jewish synagogues in Chicago, that triggers all sorts of connections, doesn't it? DINA TEMPLE-RASTON: Indeed. I mean, they think that al-Qaida in Yemen is somehow behind this. And the sources I spoke to said that they believe that they saw the fingerprints of the American-born imam that we've talked a lot about, Anwar al-Awlaki, and perhaps he's behind this. Why not just turn over these media outlets to government officials directly and cut out the middlemen? I suppose the answer is that doing so would destroy the illusion of independence, which is vital to the effective dissemination of propaganda. "
Like Al Qaeda w/in minutes of the WTC's collapsing. Show's the Planning of the State. But Corexit Testing is done in Poland and will take months. ;}
AND of course noting the Absolute Silence by the MSM on what Yemen actually does manage to export to the world and who controls same (XOM;} : " When extrapolating the aftermath of local oil production declines to global Peak Oil, the unstated assumption is that the global economy will continue to function with uncanny smoothness at the level of demand that can be met, while unmet demand will be cleanly washed off into the gutter by a strong, steady stream of economic and political nonsense. This will all sort itself out spontaneously with rational market participants responding to price signals and deciding at each instant whether they should: A. continue consuming oil in the manner to which they have become accustomed, or B. quietly wander off and die without calling attention to themselves or making a fuss.
