NASA: July 2016 Was Earth's Warmest Month On Record (weather.com)
mdsolar quotes a report from The Weather Channel: Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), operated by the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), calculated the global average July temperature was nearly one-fifth of a degree Celsius higher than previous July temperature records set in 2015 and in 2009. July was also 0.55 degrees Celsius higher than the July average for 1981-2010. Compared to the July average, the south-central part of the United States including Texas and into northern Mexico were the most anomalously warm for North America. Globally, portions of western Russia and the Southern Ocean were warmest compared to average. In Russia, fires and an anthrax outbreak have been blamed on warmer than average temperatures. Each of the last 12 months has been the warmest on record for their respective months. This is due to a combination of global climate variability and human activity according to C3S. July is typically the warmest month of the year globally because the Northern Hemisphere has more land masses than the Southern Hemisphere. (NASA GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP) confirms today.)
I seem to hear this a lot recently, and it seems to confirm global warming ...
The problem is ... I've heard it enough times that it must be at least 5 degrees C hotter on average per year than just a few years ago ... which seems ... catastrophic ...
You guys just try too hard to make the data far more scary than it needs to be. The end result is people don't care.
These sorts of headlines and articles, true or not, really hurt the objective of curbing global warming (man made or otherwise).
Stop manipulating and cherry picking data to make 'omfg scares!%!@#%!@#^!@^' and maybe people wouldn't be so distrustful of these things.
I know ... I'm the one thats wrong and the world is going to end because of global warming and police are shooting blacks because of global warming, and dark matter is because of global warming ... blah blah blah. Its tired guys, really tired.

Come up here on my hill, stop wasting your breath. Just enjoy the view when the flood comes in and all the deniers drown. Here, take my spare shotgun in case any of them want to escape the water.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I have no problem with the theory of Climate Change. In fact, I truly believe that Climate Change.does exist! The main issue I have is, No matter how much money is siphoned from the Western Economies (up to and including everything along with shutting down the economies) and provided to other nations, the UN or what ever scientific or world body. They will not change anything. Most of the money will go poof!! Nothing useful will ever get done. Leadership/Governments/World Bodies today are incapable of solving this or most any problem. The only hope for mankind is to get off this planet and into space.
logic and facts are on my side.
are you seriously denying the truth of my statement "this study reaches its headlined/highlighted conclusions by adjusting data".
since you claim to understand this better than i do, please answer that.
then we, who know what is what, will be able to make fact based judgment (instead of labeling randomly) on who is relying on "pseudoscience" or whatever. that will be so regardless of number of up votes you receive from the ignorant.
It's the alt-right moderation block. Those people live in a post-factual world where Trump makes sense, and mod accordingly.
