Washington – There’s been no break from the globe’s record heat — the first three months of 2015 have set new high temperature marks.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last month’s average temperature of 56.4 degrees (13.6 degrees Celsius) was the hottest March on record, averaging 1.5 degrees above the average for the 20th century. It broke a record set in 2010.
For the first three months of 2015, the globe was 55.6 degrees (13.1 degrees Celsius), breaking the record set in 2002.
Records go back to 1880.
NOAA climate scientist Jessica Blunden said 2015 probably will break 2014’s hottest year mark if conditions persist. She blames a combination of El Nino, a blob of record hot water in the Northeast Pacific Ocean and human-caused climate change.
Climate change is REAL. Man man climate change is REAL. It is time to stop ignoring the consensus of over 98% of scientists.
Total shtussim! It doesnt exist.
So what’s the big deal if this year was 1.5 degrees warmer if last years wasn’t that way and next year will not be that way.
The Climate change KIDS, think like little children:
The moment you have 1 isolated unusual year of 1.5 degrees warmer, you jump to conclusions of imaginary “Global Warming” but if for 1/2 decade there is a colling trend (which is a fact), they never bother to back down form the imaginary “Global Warming”, fantasy.
Here are the Scientific facts which the Global Warming Meshugaim, ignore:
1) Since the planet was cooling from 1940-1975 and the upswing in temperature afterward only lasted 22 years, a 17 year pause is a big deal. It also begs an obvious question: How can we be experiencing global warming if there’s no actual “global warming?”
2) Over 31,000 scientists have signed on to a petition saying humans aren’t causing global warming. More than 1000 scientists signed on to another report saying there is no global warming at all. There are tens of thousands of well-educated, mainstream scientists who do not agree that global warming is occurring at all and people who share their opinion are taking a position grounded in science.
3) Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012: The loss of Arctic ice has been a big talking point for people who believe global warming is occurring. Some people have even predicted that all of the Arctic ice would melt by now because of global warming. Yet, Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012. How much Arctic ice really matters is an open question since the very limited evidence we have suggests that a few decades ago, there was less ice than there is today, but the same people who thought the drop in ice was noteworthy should at least agree that the increase is important as well.
4) Former NASA scientist Dr. Roy Spencer says that climate models used by government agencies to create policies “have failed miserably.” Spencer analyzed 90 climate models against surface temperature and satellite temperature data, and found that more than 95 percent of the models “have over-forecast the warming trend since 1979, whether we use their own surface temperature dataset (HadCRUT4), or our satellite dataset of lower tropospheric temperatures (UAH).”
5) Predictions about the impact of global warming have already been proven wrong: The debate over global warming has been going on long enough that we’ve had time to see whether some of the predictions people made about it have panned out in the real world. For example, Al Gore predicted all the Arctic ice would be gone by 2013.
