Washington – September brought more record heat globally, and meteorologists say Earth is now on pace to tie for the hottest year ever recorded.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Monday that last month the globe averaged 60.3 degrees Fahrenheit. That was the hottest September in 135 years of record keeping. It was the fourth monthly record set this year, along with May, June and August.
The first nine months of 2014 have a global average temperature of 58.72 degrees, tying with 1998 and 2010 for the warmest first nine months on record.
While parts of the U.S. Midwest, Russia and central Africa were slightly cool in September, it was especially hotter than normal in the U.S. West, Australia, Europe, northwestern Africa, central South America and parts of Asia.
Sadly, the republicans have no interest in taking this science serious, and our children’s children will pay dearly.
Everyone should know that hot doesn’t justify a lack of tznius.
See BBC, 21 August, 2014: “Global Warming Slowdown Could Last Another Decade”; or Nature, 15 January 2014: “Climate Change: The Case of the Missing Heat”; The Economist 8 March, 2014: “Who Pressed the Pause Button”, etc.
It shouldn’t be surprising that current temperatures are at or near record levels because record highs were recorded in 1998. The problem for the warmists is that temperatures have stubbornly refused to increase since then, though CO2 levels are much higher. In addition, since all legislation to control CO2 is based on projections based on the models, the fact that NONE of them predicted the slow-down should give pause to any objective observer.
Nations across the globe have abandoned CO2 targets, (see Poland’s threat to veto any EU legislation that would force them to reduce the use of coal and China and India’s refusal to cut emissions at all). We will damage our economy and impoverish a generation if we don’t do the same.
