NASA: Easily the hottest April — and hottest Jan-April — in temperature record
Plus a new record 12-month global temperature, as predicted
May 16, 2010

It was the hottest April on record in the NASA dataset. More significantly, following fast on the heels of the hottest March and hottest Jan-Feb-March on record, it’s also the hottest Jan-Feb-March-April on record .

The record temperatures we’re seeing now are especially impressive because we’ve been in “the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century.” It now appears to be over. It’s just hard to stop the march of manmade global warming, well, other than by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, that is.

Most significantly, NASA’s March prediction has come true: “It is nearly certain that a new record 12-month global temperature will be set in 2010.″

Software engineer (and former machinist mate in the US Navy) Timothy Chase put together a spreadsheet using the data from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (click here). In NASA’s dataset, the 12-month running average temperature record was actually just barely set in March — and then easily set in April.

In fact, the 12-month record we just beat was set in … 2007!

Thus it is almost certainly the case that the planet has warmed up more this decade than NASA says, and especially more than the UK’s Hadley Center says...

1. knr for a dying planet.

22. Planet will be fine...Every living being, on the other hand??.....n/t

[tavalon]

24. Some species may actually be okay

We won't be among them, at least not in the numbers we are currently at.

[cali]

27. the planet's not dying. it'll be here and

flourishing, long after our species is extinct.

3. But it snowed in Michigan! There is no global warming!!

12. None of the freepers I know wanted to mention it was the warmest March here on record.

When it's cooler during a month than normal they are quick to cleverly chime in with, "So much for global warming" but this past March I didn't hear any say, "Thank God for global warming". Although both of those statements are wrong since they don't know the difference between climate and weather.

[D23MIURG23]

21. It was the mildest winter in Michigan that I can remember.

I bet that freeper was from South Carolina.

[tavalon]

25. Same here

But as we always remind the freepers weather is not the same as climate. But this "winter" was a constant reminder of what is happening to this world. It's not well known outside of the Seattle area but we have drought here in the summer (short as it is) and we had so little rain and snow this winter, I'm guessing the drought is going to be longer and harder. We've been having temperatures in the 70s this month and that generally doesn't happen here until July. As a matter of fact, the clouds don't usually dissipate until around that time to. But this year, we've had so many clear days.

[D23MIURG23]

29. Right - its about average temperatures and trends that occur globally

But last winter didn't even support the "its too cold to be global warming" narrative that they trot out every January.

5. but it is overcast in California!!1!

6. I'm going to carry the world map picture

to show the global warming debunkers that I encounter--there are a lot of these people--intelligent ones too. You just can't believe that they want to ignore the evidence at this point.

[Birthmark]

7. This is a year or two earlier than I was expecting.

And I'm shocked at how warm it is given the low solar output.

[Javaman]

8. Sadly, nothing shocks me anymore.

I will be more surprised if the levels don't get worse.

THAT is a very sad statement.

[damntexdem]

9. Hey, look on the bright side: with the BP disaster, we'll be boiled in oil.

;-)

[greencharlie]

10. the older I get... the more I crave warm weather. Too bad

too bad it's going to cause problems for the next generation...

[Uncle Joe]

11. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, n2doc.

[guitar man]

13. well

at least now we have plenty of oil to keep us from sticking :crazy:

[glinda]

18. I needed that

:rofl: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

19. Yeah I've been trying to laugh

To keep from crying myself :(

15. On TV they talked about the hurricane breeding ground in the Atlantic is

two degrees warmer than usual. I think it was like that in 2005.

[tavalon]

26. Oh, Goody, Cat 5 hurricanes and oil in the gulf

Somehow, I don't think those are going to be two great tastes that go great together.

[alfredo]

30. I hope it is a season of misses.

[tavalon]

31. Man, I sure do too!

But with the warmer hurricane breeding grounds, the hurricanes this year are going to be more ferocious. I just hope they go up the Eastern seaboard (sorry, easterners) rather than into the Gulf. Any of us who believe in a god or many gods ought to be sending prayers to that effect.

[alfredo]

32. The oil will be there too.

[fascisthunter]

16. gotta love that Free Market Deregulate Everything Attitude

even though it's killing us all.

[RandomThoughts]

17. You Understand!!

It is death policy, and the effect on many people is hidden by profit for a few to get them to do it! Hence why it needs secrecy. The fewer the people, the more control the limited bad side of the battle has, same thing with authoritarianism.

Population helps the light side, since light side is unlimited.


You understand!!!!!!!!!!


And yes, have to show love, but that does not mean you have to accept the bad side while being loving, you can stand for peace and love without allowing the bad actions to be part of you.

Just put a lock on the bad ideologies, don't let them in you, and chase them away from people with love for those in suffering.




Side note:
There is a doctrine that says there must be suffering somewhere, some groups say there will be a certain number of bad things so they try to find a place to make them stay like a war area or poverty area, some location that is in real suffering. And from that they justify there actions of allowing suffering, so that the battle is fought over there not at their home. That assumes a zero sum gain in the good and bad totals, in truth bad can return to light, and when a person allows suffering or promotes it they can have an effect of moving some good in people to bad. So that doctrine is actually a bad method to get people to create suffering elsewhere and break empathy.

20. It's sad how Rush Limblah is the right wing's favorite environmental scientist..

It's sad how Rush Limblah is the right wing's favorite environmental scientist even though he's a college drop out. Conservatives believe one fake who doesn't know anything about climate, but condemn the work of the 1,000 leading scientists, climatologists and scholars. Conservative hate science and smart people. Hell, most of them thing the world is only 6,000 years old.

23. The Hot Air from his mouth is probably a large part of global warming.

28. Meanwhile, in Japan

this past April was extremely cool, with many hard freezes in the northern Tokyo Metropolitan Area, and even snowfall on April 17 that tied a record for latest recorded snowfall in the non-mountainous part of the area.
