Warmest March In Global Recordkeeping (wunderground.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the weather-report dept.

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.

    Nobody gives a shit. Not even the people who pretend to.

      Exactly... and here is why:

      I'm not cherry picking these... that is the oldest temp from that station and the most recent temp posted into the website from that station.

      This is my city. This is where I live.

      Look at the first graph. Notice how the climate is basically identical to the second graph.

      I'm not questioning that there is warming. I'm just not seeing it whenever I look at individual stations that I'm aware of. You tell me "well this station in Siberia has really changed"... I don't know anything about that station. All I can audit is what I am aware of in my area. And every time I've checked any of them the return is always a fat load of nothing.

      And really, lets not pretend this isn't a shill post for the AGW debate. What would it take for you people to shut up? Seriously?

      Show me the papers I need to sign to make the people that keep harping on about this stuff murder suicide each other. They appear to want total dictatorial control over the economy? Funding possibly in the two trillion a year range? Am I missing something?

      And when whomever clarifies what they want, I'm going to just point out how it doesn't matter to the issue because the Chinese and the Indians etc aren't doing it. And for every bit of CO2 they cause to be outsourced by making doing anything in the west too obnoxious to bother with... places it is outsourced to are going to burn twice as much to do the same thing. This tactic is a net negative to your stated objectives.

      Enough. Every summer is the hottest, every winter the coldest... Enough.

      Looking at your graphs, I worry that the US hasn't been able to switch to metric in all that time.

    I suspect the same people who talk about 2016 being the "warmest on record" are going to be awful quiet during next year's likely La Nina.

    A bunch of Slashdot posters who.

    1. Fancy themselves smarter than everyone else
    2. Figure they are climate experts
    3. Merely cut and paste from various advocacy websites that support their view
    4. Call everyone else stupid or shills.

    Truth is .001% of Slashdotters know anything about Climate Science other than the talking points the slavishly cut and paste.

    Give me a fucking break. It's a waste of time.
