So 2010 was the warmest year on record? Just like 2009, and 2008, and 2007, and 2006... I stopped believing that ages ago. We had a fairly average summer. Sure as he'll topped the coldest and wettest one in recent memory last year.

Perhaps it's getting warmer every summer?
 
The PNW only got a 2-3 week summer 🙁 rather cool and overcast most of the time. Not that we get hot but other than those 2-3 weeks we really werent very warm at all
 
So our statistical sampling showed 1 person experiencing a "warmer" year and 20+ experiencing a summer that was below average temp wise.

Sounds like global warming BS to me.

What? Total BS.
This was the coldest summer in SoCal in as far as I can remember.
There essentially was no summer except for 1 weekend in September.

Yea seriously it really wasn't summer at all. We had like maybe two whole weeks over 90 degrees. Other than that it was super mild.
 
We had a stretch of 110+ F here in central texas for a couple of days in august, but other than that, it wasn't a particularly memorable summer. We only had ~25 days of 100+ F, which isn't too bad.

What really stood out though, is that the whole summer was humid as hell. Typically we'd get a break once in a while from the humidity...

I'm not sure you guys understand what "global average temperature" means.

Also, it seems like a lot of people are very quick to immediately discredit scientific findings that they don't wish to believe if it disagrees with their (completely insignificant and unscientific) personal experiences.
 
hot on all the other planets in the solar syst.too. no way it's the sun. must be all those interplanetary SUV's.

Did any of you actually click the link and read the article? The title of the damn thing says:

2010 Tied for Warmest on Record So Far

This year has been a steamy one so far, with the first nine months tied for the warmest on record with the same period in 1998, according to a new report looking at combined land and ocean surface temperatures.

Seriously, people. 🙄

So it's no warmer than a decade ago despite there having been 10 years of global warming in the intervening period...

Well this way they can get the dumb to buy into the global warming/climate change BS.
If they waited until the COLD months came the average would drop and they can't use alarmist propoganda to further their ideology of forcing people out of choices.

You do realize that they're not heading into winter in the southern hemisphere, right? Durrrrrr.

Yes it is. However, you're the first person to make that correlation. The scientists studying the climate couldn't have possibly accounted for that, right? Durrrrrrr.

1. At least we don't believe any BS that someone dishes out to us.
2. I love these "scientific weather statistics", especially when they only have limited data available to extrapolate any trends.
3. Winston Churchill: "the only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself". If you have done any kind of data analysis, graphing or done even 1 biz presentation, you know how true this statement is.

Climate change deniers are idiots. It is worthless to try to argue with them. They would deny gravity if Fox News told them to. Everyone knows this.

Fixed that for you, troll.
 
1. Global does not mean 20 guys on a tech website and where they live.

2. Average means just that. Average. There were hotter spells, hotter temps and hotter runs this year in more parts of the world than there were not. When you heat things up, weather patterns change and some will get colder while others get hotter, that is just the way it works.

3. From the same people that get a 20 degree day in march and go "huh huh, global warming huh?" they seem to be awfully reluctant to do the same when we hit record ALL TIME temps in other areas. Those individual temps say nothing about global climate w/o, guess what, GLOBAL DATA. Guess what the global data says (besides the fact that most Americans are ignorant and unwilling to be told that they do not know anything)? Yes, that this year was, so far, the warmest.


So, what does it say? Get out the dingies? No. You have to take it in context with other data collected over time. What THAT says is simple. We are getting, on average, warmer.

"But but but" Yeah, whatever. I don't care if the car coming screaming at us down the highway isn't stopping because it's brakes are out or because the driver is a psycho, I am getting out of the way.

Strange ... if you take into account the data from the middle ages we are, on average, in a cold period and might just now slowly be recovering towards a more normal warmer temperature average!
But of course the scientists with the data and charts contradicting the global warming BS must all be wrong!
