Last month was the globe’s warmest November on record, the seventh consecutive month to reach a new high.

A climate update Thursday from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also noted a record-warm average temperature for January through November as a whole. NOAA scientist Jake Crouch said it’s “virtually certain” that 2015 will be the warmest year globally since record-keeping began in 1880.

The agency also said it’s been the warmest autumn on record for the continental U.S., with an average temperature of 56.8 F (13.8 C) for September through November.

Crouch said the warmth has come from climate change, a strong El Nino and some other short-term influences.

The forecast through March calls for an easing of drought in California and Nevada.

    Remember what Mark Twain and Herman Cain both said about statistics.

    Yet, book makers use statistics all the time to set odds.

    I know…Mark Twain and Herman Cain…MORONS BOTH!

    And according to Edward O Thorp aka “Dan” who proved with his M I T computer that the average winning hand in Blackjack single/double deck is 18.3…’Beat The Dealer” 1962

    Tell me…how many times did you get paid for a 18.3 in the game of Blackjack?

    To play the game well one must know the rules. ‘They’ changed the rules of Blackjack…just because of Thorp,

    Rock…It’s called Rules of the game…

    To play the game well one must know the rules..

    Thorp accomplished his challenge…get the rules changed…

    Jess Markham (look that MORON up:)…he was chosen by Nate Jacobson to be the ‘numbers’ man at the original Hyatt North Shore Tahoe.

    Well, if you have a system to beat the bookmakers, please tell us all so that we call all profit from the knowledge.

    Sorry…that’s Jess Marcum

    Rock…I don’t gamble….sometimes I play but never gamble:)

    You don’t gamble, ok. But, you are perfectly willing to compare NOAA and their Scientific research on record heat globally to “statistics” a la’ Mark Twain “there are lies, damned lies and statistics.” Then, follow that up with “I know… Mark Twain… Moron.”

    Sounds like “hedging” your comments a bit or as my Grandma used to say, buttering your bread on both sides.

    Sad piece of sarcasm apparently…Mark Twain is one of my ‘authorities’.
