Global Average Temperature for January Highest on Record

Source Link: www.noaanews.noaa.gov

The combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the highest for any January on record, according to scientists at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. The most unusually warm conditions were in the mid- and high-latitude land areas of the Northern Hemisphere. In the contiguous United States, the monthly mean temperature was near average in January.

For every "fact" that supports global warming i can produce 10 debunking it. So here is the first:
"The unusually warm start to this winter reflected the rarity of Arctic outbreaks across the country as an El Niño episode continued in the equatorial Pacific. A contributing factor to the unusually warm temperatures throughout 2006 also is the long-term warming trend, which has been linked to increases in greenhouse gases. This has made warmer-than-average conditions more common in the U.S. and other parts of the world. It is unclear how much of the recent anomalous warmth was due to greenhouse-gas-induced warming and how much was due to the El Niño-related circulation pattern. It is known that El Niño is playing a major role in this winter's short-term warm period."

It is currently at or below El Niño thresholds, so whatever effects on global temps a borderline ENSO had in January would of been close to non-existent. Solar activity is also at it's lowest point with the 11 year solar cycle coming to an end. With those factors in mind, we should have lower than normal temps.

You're going to debunk a plain fact?? That january was the hottest on record???

Yes, el nino exists.

And?

well i think we've made it up this february its been below freezing the whole cold ass month

Yep, it was 28 today, and it felt balmy.

Well ofcourse it has!

That's why the hottest years ever recorded happened in last 15 years.

That's why there is Severe glacial reduction in almost every part of the Planet - from Alaska, Greendland, Antartctica, The Alps, Africa, South America - EVERYWHERE, there is less and less ice.

Muir and Riggs Glaciers 1941-2004

So the ice is melting because...?

Ah I know - beucause the Solar System is warming up!

It has nothing to do with increased CO2 levels!

It's the daymn Universe!



So if you want to see what will happen in next three years PRESS THIS BUTTON!
