Is this why we need Cap and Trade? Global warming is here? July lowest temp. averages since 1895?

Question

The July 2009 temperature for the contiguous United States was below the long-term average, based on records going back to 1895, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.

...produced more than 400 record low minimum temperatures and 1,300 record low maximum temperatures (lowest high temperature)

Man it's hot in here!
Are we doomed or what?!!!

Answer 1

I think a more reliable source is the national weather service ,but when a liberal run organization in one of the most liberal towns in the US has no choice than to go by to go by stats only[unlike al gore]-how can you argue.

Answer 2

Today's weather at the North Pole "65.8 °F Mostly Cloudy" I know it is recreational to call All Goeical a liar; but have you ever observed a chimney or a fire built in an open area. Heat rises heat travels to cold it's natural. As the heat travels to the Poles the tropics will become cooler. I'm all for another Ice Age or anything that will alter the Earth's present condition. Global Warming Bring it on.

Answer 3

Remember because the globe isn't warming it's now called climate change. The ice caps are melting in the north pole but the ice caps in the south pole are expanding. They have discovered ice lakes in the polar ice caps were life is thriving. Meaning that at one time these places were warm. They have done earth core samples, testing the earth and have discovered that the Earth goes through periodic changes.

Answer 4

Did you not get the memo?



It's no longer "Global Warming" it's "Climate Change"



Make it really really really big so it's a concept that we mere little people who pay taxes cannot POSSIBLY understand without a SCIENTIFIC degree of some kind (Like quantum physical underwater basket weaving) and just take the "smart" people's word for it.



Are you really so stupid to actually assert that maybe the Climate Change worshipers are a bunch of idiots?



How dare you.

Answer 5

One cool month in one location doesn't disprove global warming.



But it's not just one cool month, and it's not just one location. And even where it's still warm, it's not still warm-ING. CO2 levels are still climbing. If it were CO2, then the temperature would still be climbing as well.

Answer 6

Global warming is here. You can't compare the temperature for one year for one area/country. You have to compare the patterns around the world over a long period of time.



fyi, Vancouver, BC (Just above Seattle, WA) had its hottest day ever recorded in July.

Answer 7

You cannot say the entire planet is cooler from a couple of months in a section of the globe. That being said, Cap and Trade is still a huge government tax, and the people who support it are either lining their pockets or don't understand it.

Answer 8

You are probably not aware that the glaciers are melting at an alarming rate and once they are gone the next ice age will set in. Read a book or go back to school.

Answer 9

If this cap and trade issue goes through, all this global warming crap will be the least of our worries.

Answer 10

How come the weather changed back when the dinosaurs were around, people MUST have caused that as well.

Answer 11

Okay? So one month of the year being a record cold (and only in the US) disproves global warming?



What's your next question: "If people came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"

Answer 12

Good god. To discuss this subject, you would need to first understand that local weather patterns have nothing to do with global climate change.

Answer 13

Global warming affects more than your little part of the world.*

Answer 14

Global warming isn't about it being "warm" *eyeroll*



It's about unusual or turbulent weather.

Answer 15

When you understand the difference between climate and weather, let us know.
