These are not one off extreme weather events. They are record highs relative to record lows. How about next time you spend a little intellectual capital and read the graphs.

If it was weather, you'd expect a distribution similar to the 1950s. An increase in record highs relative to record lows indicates a climate shift.

But What about temperatures in the 1100s or 1600s??

The Roman Warm Period was warmer than now.

Here's another way to look at it. Each of the 13 months from June 2011 through June 2012 ranked among the warmest third of their historical distribution for the first time in the 1895-present record. The odds of this occurring randomly are 1 in 1.6 million.

Can you name one published climate scientist who is prepared to say the planet isn't  warming.

The denialists have a consistent pattern of picking two points, drawing a straight line between them, and saying that represents the entire pattern of temperature change. We see it all the time with their 'frost this morning, therefor no global warming' type arguments. Quite often this is literal - they give you two dates from the last decade, two temperatures and say that is the trend, but if you plot the data they were taking from the trend is always the opposite. That sort of BS simply cannot stand up to any sort of scrutiny. Eventually they get sick of looking like complete idiots. That is why denialism is on the decline.

Caused by what? You can't jut hand-wave away all trends since the 1800's on the basis that it is some 'natural' (read: magical) recovery from the LIA. Global temperature only changes in response to something that changes within the system. The changes that resulted in the LIA are well understood, low solar activity combined with high volcanic activity, both those forcings 'recovered' in the early days of the 20th century. As solar input increased and volcanic aerosols declined the temperature increased correspondingly. But in the 1970's, temperatures diverged from the influences that resulted in the LIA and the subsequent recovery. That divergence can only be explained by the observable increase in the greenhouse effect.

Watch the video, progs. Are you honestly telling us you don't understand the point that is being made.

Do you honestly believe the next significant El Niņo event won't deliver record high temperatures.

I've shown you what the trend looks like minus the short term forcings, yet you still pretend not to follow.

Departure from homogenized data. 0.4 degrees over a century is not an issue. How much of that is from CO2 as in the other thread.

Peer-reviewed paper says an actual 0.4 rather than 0.7 over the century because of a bad bias in homogenized data.

0.4 it is.

So what you are really saying is, frost this morning, therefore no global warming?

Do you believe that warming only occurs while the record highs are being set and it is decreasing at every other point in time?

Did you ever learn to fit a trend line to measured data in school?

The pride you take in your ignorance is kind of disturbing. Can you explain how the increase in record highs relative to record lows indicates something other than a climate shift.

The pride you take in your ignorance is kind of disturbing. Can you explain how the increase in record highs relative to record lows indicates something other than a climate shift.


Ask me in two hundred years eh.
Your 50 years of weather changes means nothing in the greater scheme of things, and never did.

Yes, many look to the weather to give them the excuse for their daily gripe.
It's too hot.
It's too cold.
It's rains too much.
I wish it would rain.
I don't like the wind.
I wish it would snow.
I hate snow.
I've heard it all freediver.
The only constant is that weather does change.

Along with the "My house blew away".
