Warmest March In Global Recordkeeping (wunderground.com)

Layzej quotes a report from Weather Underground: March 2016 was by far the planet's warmest March since record keeping began in 1880. In the NOAA database, March 2016 came in a full 1.22C (2.20F) warmer than the 20th-century average for March, as well as 0.32C (0.58F) above the previous record for March, set in 2010. This is a huge margin for breaking a monthly global temperature record, as they are typically broken by just a few hundredths of a degree. Global satellite-measured temperatures also found this March to be the warmest -- the sixth consecutive monthly record in the UAH satellite data set. Gavin Schmidt, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies has estimated that 2016 already has over a 99% chance of being the hottest year on record, based on the first three months alone.

Satellite data in 1880?

Maybe those 1880 satellites weren't calibrated as good as they are now?

I hear it's a little cool in the midwest this April.

I had no idea that you had been appointed "the guy who speaks for everybody" Did you get a hat or sash to go with the responsibility?

Now that we know who you are, can I ask you a question about emacs and vi?

Birth control.
When you cut through all the environmentalism BS, you see that the real underlying problem is obviously overpopulation.

Thankfully for most Slashdotters, involuntary abstinence is a very good form of birth control.

There has been no pause. It only looks like "a pause" if you cherry pick an outlier warm year and ignore the trend.

What makes me cry a little is that you probably honestly believe that and you have a lot of company.

Or are you saying that the liberals just say whatever they want as long as it moves their agenda forward?

Yes, that's what liberals do. They sit at large conference tables, discussing how to destroy western culture, commit white genocide, and turn the world into a vegan-only communist dictatorship. When someone comes up with a particularly brilliant idea, such as designating Whole Foods the People's Grocery Store, they all rap their knuckles and shout "BWAHAHA!!!" in unison. The FEMA camps are only the beginning. Expect the massive die-offs to begin soon!

Seriously, though, have you considered asking your psychiatrist for new meds? The ones you are on are obviously not working.

I can picture the climate scientist somewhere in the world reading this and exclaiming, "Anonymous Coward has saved us all! We forgot to consider the sun!"
