Roanoke Times, 8-9-12, July was hotter than 1936 record and looks like another record from when records started in 1895.
-
Compared to the earth’s history that’s very recent history isn’t it?  I was conceived in 1936 and my parents were born circa 1895!  That was long after Greenland froze over and wiped out Uncle Eric The Red and "our" entire Viking community!  Darn that Little Ice Age!  Let's get back to the Medevial Warm Period as soon as we can!  Perhaps we're on the way - over!
-
This article tries to explain that man-made Global Warming AGW is the cause behind this summer’s warm weather and the drought in the heartland.
Oops! Instead, the authors inadvertently presented data that demonstrates that man-made CO2 is independent of today’s weather relative to the temperatures since the 1930s.
-
By simply attaching the global CO2 chart to the temperature chart one sees that the significant increase in atmospheric CO2 has had no significant influence on the temperature and therefore no significant cause-effect demonstrated.
-
One might imagine that adding 200 million people to the US and paving over a significant amount of it during this time period (1900 to today) would have made the high-temperatures a lot higher than they are now.  Perhaps the earth is actually in a cooling cycle?

Hopefully it’s now no longer necessary for the Alarmists to Hunt Me Down and Burn My House! Writing for Forbes Magazine, climate change alarmist Steve Zwick calls for skeptics of man-made global warming to be tracked, hunted down and have their homes burned to the ground, yet another shocking illustration of how eco-fascism is rife within the environmentalist lobby.
