2013 one of the hottest years on record

Never mind the current cold snap in the East or the polar vortex that swept through much of the U.S. in early 2014 — scientists from NASA and NOAA report that 2013 was one of the 10 hottest years on record, and there is a good chance 2014 will be even warmer.

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s calculations, 2013 is tied with 2009 and 2006 as the seventh hottest year since global temperature record keeping began in 1880. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s slightly different calculations say 2013 tied with 2003 as the fourth hottest year on record.

According to NASA, the average surface temperature of our planet in 2013 was 58.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 1.1 degrees warmer than the mid-20th century base line. That makes 2013 the 37th consecutive year that the annual global temperature was above average.

    Good. Last thing the planet needs is another ice age.

    Forecasters warn that sub-zero temperatures will be fixtures in cities throughout the mid-section of the nation for the next week, while the Northeast will struggle to stay above the teens and 20s.

    Yep, bet those folks are looking for Global Warming.

    More global warming hot air from the liberal media.

    This is the first winter I’ve noticed geoengineering of our skies by the military. Those long white clouds being sprayed across our skies like this morning in the county. Some say the aluminum, barium and strontium which make up most of these trails can be manipulated by devices such as HAARP in Alaska. I wonder if they aren’t manipulating this high pressure system over the northern CA for their own purposes? Control of food or water sources down in the valley’s? All speculation folks. Something besides parking meters to discuss.

    A paper published January 21st in Quaternary Science Reviews reconstructs storm activity in Iceland over the past 1,200 years and finds storminess and extreme weather variability was far more common during the Little Ice Age in comparison to the Medieval Warm Period and the 20th century. The paper adds to many other peer-reviewed publications finding global warming decreases storm activity, the opposite of claims by climate alarmists.

    Im surprised that bitterclingercjpubworks didnt blame this article on obama like he always does. I suppose its coming tho because thats what rush told him to say

    I don’t think that people who have never had an original thought, or know anything about critical thinking even know what plagiarism is. When you count on rush limpaugh and foxNfriends for your info you’re really not dealing with reality.

    HEY AB! Want to tell the people in the Philippines or India about that Quaternary Science Review on Iceland?

    BOOM!
    Another conservative plagiarist nailed.

    Best part is, their unoriginal ideas that they took from people smarter than they are, are wrong.
    AB, and BC.
    Served.
