So what caused the hottest summer ever recorded in 1958? Was that global warming, too?

The reason the earth is warmer today than it was 60 years ago is that we see less extremes today. CAGW believers say that global warming means more extreme weather, but in reality it has brought less. Instead of having an extremely hot summer in 1958, followed by an extremely cold winter, etc. we just get constantly warm summers and constantly mild winters these days.

Returning to the 10,000 year average is a blessing. Absolutely nothing to panic over or throw money at.

Yet Scotland has had a colder than normal summer.


Scotland's summer is always wet, grey, cold and dreary. A bit like Canada's.

But it is true than Scotland's summer has been the coldest for 40 years. It's just had the coldest June since 1972.

The AGW crowd are such decrepit liars. Last winter was one coldest of record.. but the AGW scam has developed the tactic of the Big Lie.. that you should believe their concocted stats rather than your own senses.

We appear to be in a cyclical cooling phase in the Northern hemisphere, which produces more turbulent weather. AGW is a cult, with a philosophical and political agenda deeply antipathetical to the human pestilence on a pristine 'mother' earth.

Nothing they say can be trusted.

I was thinking of getting it honestly.
Well, THAT ain't gonna work!

However if that doesn't work there is always law school as a backup plan.
Dishonest lawyers make it very hard for the other 1%.

I don't know. A lot of 'em are pretty robust liars.

It ain't raining here, therefore it ain't raining anyplace.

Well, can't say as I disagree with 'em on the "pestilence" part.

And we hear from another willing subject of the LSD testing.
You give it to 'em, Coldnuts.

1%? You are exaggerating, right?

" The record" is short. 110-120 years.


THAT is the record! Only counting the last 120 years of 4.5 BILLION!

Instead of having an extremely hot summer in 1958, followed by an extremely cold winter, etc. we just get constantly warm summers and constantly mild winters these days.


Except of course when we have constant cool summers and constant bitter cold winters.

well, let me see, in the last 4.5 billion years the weather has been wet, dry, hot, cold, low-pressure, high-pressure, snowy, non-snowy, etc. etc. IOW, changeable. So to me, climate is also changeable. I can't see the reason for hubbub.
People have been known to screw things up, I still can't see a reason for the hubbub.
