NOAA: Earth Smashed A Record For Heat In May 2014, Effects To Worsen

Freshly Exhumed (105597) writes with news that NOAA's latest global climate analysis is showing things are getting hotter. From the article: Driven by exceptionally warm ocean waters, Earth smashed a record for heat in May and is likely to keep on breaking high temperature marks, experts say. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Monday said May's average temperature on Earth of 15.54 C beat the old record set four years ago. In April, the globe tied the 2010 record for that month. Records go back to 1880. Experts say there's a good chance global heat records will keep falling, especially next year because an El Nino weather event is brewing on top of man-made global warming. An El Nino is a warming of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that alters climate worldwide and usually spikes global temperatures.

Ummm, not so much. Indications are that warming/cooling has been gong on for billions of years before man started burning anything more than trees, and the levels of C02 in the atmosphere don't seem to have anything to do with those cycles.

Major logical fallacy here. If we know that A causes C, it doesn't automatically mean that B doesn't cause C as well.

I can see how they would back down from that.

It's not like they are free to say anything about anything they find without fear of repercussions.
