"However, climate change alarmists always find somewhere on Earth where temperatures are higher than ever. The focus is always on isolated temperatures that have reached all-time highs while the same reports ignore all-time record lows. These zealots would like you to believe that due to fossil fuel emissions, summers are now longer and hotter while winters are shorter and milder. "
"The highest temperature ever reported was 136 degrees Fahrenheit in Libya in 1922. The record high temperature for the United States was 134 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley, California, in 1913. Fossil fuel emissions in 1913 and 1922 were negligible compared to today."
Which jives with what many of us have been insisting is the case for years now.
Back in 1996, we had a Nor'Easter HERE that blew for about 2 weeks...had 3' of snow on the ground...a nearby lake froze over...roofs caved in. THAT combo hadn't been seen in this area since the 1950s (the winter of 1956 or '57, I think)...and yet, here it was again. GW/CC-types will say that was just an ANOMALY that doesn't disprove the GW/CC theory...whereas if the weather during that SAME period had "spring"-like - they'd have insisted it confirmed GW/CC >IS< going on (just as is pointed out in the above article.).
OTOH, I personally shoveled about 8" of global warming off my driveway about 3-4 days ago.
