More Than 6,000 Record High Temperatures Set This Month

letterstomycountry:
Clearly just Al Gore’s liberal conspiracy weather machine creating false controversy with junk science so he can make millions off carbon credits. Also, manbearpig.
It was silly when climate change deniers were all remarking on the snow last year, and it’s silly to remark on the small sample of an early Spring this year. The Earth is getting warmer. This is the wrong evidence.

LTMC: I agree that isolated occurrences to not indicate a trend. Nor is “warming” per se the the primary facet of climate change. But an increase in the occurrence of unusual and/or extreme weather patterns are part of that body of evidence. What we are seeing is a virtually unprecedented weather pattern, and it deserves to be noted. By itself, it proves nothing of course. But in the context of other unusual and/or extreme weather events, it is one more strange weather phenomenon that contributes to a critical mass of evidence which confirms the thesis of anthropogenic climate change.

To be clear, it is not the warmth per se that makes this remarkable, but the unseasonable nature of it. April showers are supposed to bring May flowers. There are already flowers on my front lawn. Strange indeed.
