For U.S., warmest spring and year on record … by a lot
The evidence continues to mount; the willful blindness to its consequences continues to keep pace.
From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s newly released national climate overview:
“The national temperature of 57.1 degrees F during spring was 5.2 degrees F above the long-term average, besting the previous warmest spring of 1910 by 2.0 degrees F.
This marked the largest temperature departure from average of any season on record for the contiguous United States. The spring of 2012 was the culmination of the warmest March, third warmest April, and second warmest May. This marks the first time that all three months during the spring season ranked among the ten warmest, since records began in 1895
January-May was the warmest such period on record for the contiguous United States, with an average temperature of 49.2 degrees F, 5.0 degrees F above the long-term average….
The June 2011-May 2012 period was the warmest 12-month period of any 12 months on record for the contiguous United States. The nationally-averaged temperature of 56.0 degrees F was 3.2 degrees F above the long-term average, surpassing the previous record, set last month (May 2011-April 2012), by 0.4 degrees F. The 12-month period encapsulated the second warmest summer, fourth warmest winter, and the warmest spring on record. Every state across the contiguous U.S. had warmer than average temperatures for the period, except Washington, which was near normal.”
It’s not just the fact that new temperature records are being broken; what’s astonishing is the amount by which records are now being broken. For example, the chart below includes annual January-May temperature data for Atlanta going back all the way to 1929. You can see the normal range of temperatures, and you can also that the deep red line — representing the record year of 2012 — is far outside the norm.
More than 30 years ago, when scientists first began to warn us that this would happen, skepticism might have been understandable. However, that skepticism should be much harder to sustain given the fact that ever since then, climate events have been playing out pretty much as they predicted.
But hey, I guess it really isn’t happening if we refuse to see it, right?

Looking at that graph, refusal has nothing to do with it…whoever did this one was out in the sun too long…
Seriously though, I repeat as I always do whenever this one comes up, climatology is a scientific discipline still in its infancy. There’s too much we don’t know to go drawing dire conclusions just yet, but the early data do indicate that some serious attention needs to be paid to the pattern emerging…

Climatologist have been warning us for years now that man-made emissions are largely responsible for global warming. Big Business oil and coal companies have taken the exact attitude towards this that Big Tobacco took when scientists started warning us about the dangers of cigarete smoking. Big Tobacco was finally forced to admit that smoking is dangerous to your health. I wonder how long it will be before Big Oil will be forced to admit that vehicle emissions are dangerous to our atmosphere?
Oh, well, by the time they do we will be locked into a runaway greenhouse effect and it will be too late to stop it.

Are these the same expert scientists Al Gore was refering to when, back in 2006, he said we had 10 years to get things right? Here was his quote:
“The leading experts predict that we have less than 10 years to make dramatic changes in our global warming pollution lest we lose our ability to ever recover from this environmental crisis,”
If he was right back in 2006, then we have just 4 years to implement the solution.

As usual your lack of conclusive scientific evidence fails to deter your pontification on matters in which you are obviously totally ignorant. The fact is that “the scientists” have predicted global warming is in itself a half truth in that an equal number of eminent men of science have attributed the warming trend to the normal climatic cycle. So, it can then be asked, “doesn’t that make you think they know what they’re doing on this?”

Interesting article:
Here’s a list of the green companies that have gone belly-up since receiving Obama dollars.
For those who only hear about these failing companies one by one, the following is a list of all the clean energy companies supported by President Obama’s stimulus that are now failing or have filed for bankruptcy. The liberal media hopes you’ve forgotten about all of them except Solyndra, but we haven’t.
Evergreen Solar
SpectraWatt
Solyndra (received $535 million)
Beacon Power (received $43 million)
AES’ subsidiary Eastern Energy
Nevada Geothermal (received $98.5 million)
SunPower (received $1.5 billion)
First Solar (received $1.46 billion)
Babcock & Brown (an Australian company which received $178 million)
Ener1 (subsidiary EnerDel received $118.5 million)
Amonix (received 5.9 million)
The National Renewable Energy Lab
Fisker Automotive
Abound Solar (received $400 million)
Chevy Volt (taxpayers basically own GM)
Solar Trust of America
A123 Systems (received $279 million)
Willard & Kelsey Solar Group (received $6 million)
Johnson Controls (received $299 million)
Schneider Electric (received $86 million)
That’s 19 (that we know of so far). We also know that loans went to foreign clean energy companies (Fisker sent money to their overseas plant to develop an electric car), and that 80% of these loans went to President Obama’s campaign donors.

Use more natural gas
You and I have been over this before, but the methane output generated by a lot of gas extraction — particularly the fracking needed to get at our biggest deposits — will contribute to GW.
It’s not a magic bullet. I wish it were, because the fuel source itself is a lot cleaner and yeah, we’ve got a lot of it here.

The Leg Lamp is a “major award”….. Why don’t you list the names of the groups that got Cost Plus Contracts…and tell us about the 3 Trillion dollar debt from the Iraq war ?

So “global warming” was replaced with “climate change” because focus groups found that term more positive. PC and focus groups. Big whoop.
A “republican” focus group.
You seem to be making a point that the name was change for some “politically correct” policy, when it was in fact it was changed for republican sensibilities.
And you are making fun of the fact that it was changed.
Too funny!

How silly is this statement ?
Well Bookman have you ever considered that the earths climate has went through 3 billion plus years of heating and cooling cycles?
Really and man has been pouring concrete, and Road asphalt during those cycles ?
Man has been burning coal for fuel, and gas for automobiles and trucks all during those cycles ?
