The eastern half of the United States region has an unusually cool summer, you find 3000 thermometers in said region, and use that statistic to create the illusion that GLOBAL warming can't be happening.
ZOMG, over 3000 new low records!! It's HUGH!!!!11! I'm SERIES!!11!
Oh, how absolutely wrong you are, kids. Step aside and let the grown ups tell you about the reality of global warming using (gasp) science:
Why are you ignoring the BIG PICTURE?
Global Ocean Surface Temperature Warmest On Record For June (2009)
ScienceDaily (July 27, 2009) — The world’s ocean surface temperature was the warmest on record for June, breaking the previous high mark set in 2005, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. Additionally, the combined average global land and ocean surface temperature for June was second-warmest on record. The global records began in 1880.
So in reality this last June was the warmest month in modern record keeping (since 1880) for the oceans, and the second warmest month for both global land & sea) in modern history. Yet, you global warming denialists manage to find some isolated region showing an unstable cooling trend as a sign that global warming isn't happening.
Cherry pick much to fulfill your agenda much?
