Thank god. I thought Global warming was a real thing for a second, but Steve Goddard, some goofy twat on twitter, has set the record straight.

Actually, it can be easily explained. Previous periods of global warming also had global drops in temps as the warming proceeded. What happens is, as more glacier meltwater and more arctic ice melts, the ocean temps temporarily cool down which in turn lowers global temps. But like I said, it's only temporary. However, depending on the rate of cooling, what can also happen is surprising. You get what is called a "Heinrich Event", where over the course of a decade, global temps can drop by an average of 5C. These types of events can, although not necessarily, reverse a warming trend.

Previous periods of global warming

From previous eras of factory over production of cars for example around a thousand AD, to later incidents of intense hydrocarbon fueled production of plastics in the early 18oo's, Man made Global warming has dogged the human race throughout history...

Not to be confused with the Heinrich Maneuver wherein an ecolobby forces the naive and unwitting to 'cough-up' large sums of money to support a non-existent phenomenon such as climate change or global warming

Anybody got one that shows where it will be hotter and where it will be cooler? Combines in Texas or should I buy land northwest of there??

Nothing non-existent about it. I presume you mean human driven global warming/climate change?

The blob died.
They also promote a cold spot in the Atlantic but neither is above a rift so could Arctic rifts be spreading and the rising warmer water pushes the water just under the ice away and in this case the two exits are into the Pacific and the Atlantic between Greenland and Canada.
The 'cold' spot could be just colder than it was last year but still warmer than it was a decade ago and the Pacific Rift could be spreading even faster if dead things are a sign of rapid change at the oceans deepest parts. Faster currents would mix the water better so it would appear cooler in some spots, it should be cooler in all spots but that doesn't seem to be the case. Does it now become variable climate change??

climate has always changed over time and always will
a carbon tax is just a scam
there has always been a sucker born every minute and there always will

These are actually the same scammers and the same suckers, the game is rigged so the roles never change.

June 2016 marks the 14th consecutive month of record-breaking heat.

According to two US agencies – Nasa and Noaa – June 2016 was 0.9C hotter than the average for the 20th century, and the hottest June in the record which goes back to 1880. It broke the previous record, set in 2015, by 0.02C.

The 14-month streak of record-breaking temperatures was the longest in the 137-year record. And it has been 40 years since the world saw a June that was below the 20th century average.To cool the ardour of those climate-change deniers who would like to blame it all on El Niño, Nasa’s Gavin Schmidt has this to say:

“While the El Niño event in the tropical Pacific this winter gave a boost to global temperatures from October onwards, it is the underlying trend which is producing these record numbers,” he said.

Nasa’s Walt Meir said the global temperatures have been exacerbated by extreme temperatures over the Arctic. Warm temperatures there are pushing up the global average, as well a causing record-low amounts of sea ice.

“It has been a record year so far for global temperatures, but the record high temperatures in the Arctic over the past six months have been even more extreme,” Meier said. “This warmth as well as unusual weather patterns have led to the record-low sea ice extents so far this year.”As another indication of how dire our situation is becoming, consider Alaska: (link is external)

Alaska has seen a years-long streak of astonishing warmth, with the warmest year-to-date and warmest June capping it off so far this year.

The heat this week in interior parts of Alaska has been particularly extreme, with one noteworthy all-time high temperature record falling. That record was set in Deadhorse, Alaska, located on the Arctic coast, which rose to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, or 30 degrees Celsius.

Closer to home, there is a heat dome (link is external) enveloping much of North America.

20th century, and the hottest June in the record which goes back to 1880

The very thing the scam hinges on. Post maunder minimum temperatures rebounding to normal.

Normal is deadly.
