Very interesting. Thank you.

When it comes right down to it, NOAA is not a credible source of information, and should not be considered to be credible, until those in charge are removed from their position and new managers and supervisors prove it to be so.

Last year’s record temperature is “clearly symptomatic of a changing climate,” said Thomas R. Karl, who directs NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center.

In order to stop this “changing climate” we need to tax the crap out of American citizens. But what happens if we stop the climate from changing but we stop it on a day that happens to be cold. Are we then stuck with this new temperature or do we need to continue to tax everybody until the ideal temperature is achieved? And what is that ideal temperature? 65 degrees in Fargo, ND in January? 65 degrees in Phoenix in July?

In all the talk about global warming….no one has ever talked about what the climate is supposed to be. If you can’t tell me that then STFU!

Together, the Contiguous 48 states and D.C. occupy a combined area of 3,119,884.69 square miles (8,080,464.3 km2), which is 1.58% of the total surface area of the Earth.

Funny NOAA doesn’t bother to include Canada or Mexico, both of which might also have experienced the same or similar weather patterns and/or significantly different patterns, cycling through as as oscillations, either narrowly or broadly, such that making conclusions based on one small 1% or 2% or 4% sample of the total, a ridiculous thing to do.

NOAA is keeping two sets of data.

It really isn’t the “hottest year”.

Thanks. Very enlightening.

Contiguous U.S. is NOT global. It’s always the hottest ever somewhere.

It’s supposed to be GLOBAL warming… remember? Not Contiguous U.S. warming.

Didn’t you read the latest report? Weather now respects political boundaries, not just geographical features.
