RayfromUSA: That claim is simply not true.

In 1997, because of El Niño the global temperature was considerably higher than this January. And there have been many El Niños in the past.

Just because there are no "global" records before the 1980s doesn't mean that the global temperature wasn't often warmer than it was this year..

That's one of the scammer's tricks.
They say "this is the warmest decade since we've been keeping records" but they fail to say that they've only been keeping their "global" records for about 25 years. Before that, there is just raw data from all over the world with no way to correctly correlate it.

Every community on earth has had warmer months of January in the past. There was really nothing phenomenal about this January. It's just another January like all the others. Cold and snowy in some places, sunny and warm in others.


Thanks for that Ray...now just wait till I see that bloke
down the pub who told me that!!!

This thread got a little off track.

We got another snow storm starting yesterday evening til this afternoon. I'm hoping this will be the end of it. The sun is shining and the snow is melting and it's warming up from the sun.

This morning I couldn't even get online because the storm was blocking access to the satelite. I'm just glad I don't live in the Washington DC area.
See the pic I took in the chicken pen, that is a big plastic garbage garbage can I use to hold their feed.

Warmer days are coming, just may have to wait a week or two.
Since December it has been fairly warm, but December was a bear
with zero degree temps. Maybe God is sending a sign to Washington about slowing down government spending. laugh

I wish you well my old home state of New Jersey. Can't say I miss being on the phone trying to find someone who could plow me out. Usually took three days after I got on someone's list. Then came the price gouging: $200 to take 15 minutes to clear my driveway. doh

katt1017: I grew up in Northern NH. We expected to get at least one or two big storms a year.


I grew up in Seacoast NH. Storms like this were pretty common when I was a kid... Remember the Blizzard of '78?

Meanwhile, the past two days here, it has been in the low 30s (CELCIUS) -- mid-upper 80s. Dropped into the 70s today. brrrr

K_rational: Not to be snide, but as one who spent about 20 years putting up with that much snow and -40C temperatures every winter, I always smirk at people's reactions at having to deal with it when they aren't used to.

It's even more enjoyable having not seen snow or sub-freezing temperatures in five years.


Amen brother. 32 C and sunny here yesterday... :)

bodleing: Actually, world wide it's been the warmest January
since world average temps have been calculated.
Some time in the seventies I believe.


It is positively HOT where I live right now. Upper 80s in February? I am already afraid of what July and August are going to bring. Heck, the spring marathon season looks like it will be a scorcher.
