Nicest first day of school I could remember

Has anyone noticed that the first day of school here in San Diego is usually one of the hottest days of the year? My kids start up right after Labor Day as did I. This year had to be the nicest I could remember, almost autumn like. I guess we did have our fair share of super hot days at the end of August, though. I'm sure the econuts will harp on that and not the fact that otherwise this has been the third summer in a row with beautiful temperatures.

One must travel to Seattle to be globally warmed

It seems as if the justification for New York's absence of a summer this year is that all the warming went to Seattle:
"William D. Solecki, a geography professor at Hunter College of the City University of New York and co-chairman of a mayoral panel on climate change, warned that this summer’s unusually mild temperatures should not buoy global warming skeptics.
“Ask them to visit Seattle,” he said, where a record temperature of 103 was recorded on Wednesday. "

Anyone else (us skeptics) would ask why the Pacific Northwest is warm and conclude that the El Nino phenomenon is the cause and also conclude that the earth is cooling now due to decreased sunspot activity. Has anyone noticed that their case now rests on so called record temperatures? Remember one of my previous posts where I addressed this? These flat-earthers seem to not remember record trends which are much more significant when developing averages and predictions.

Here's another quote that made me chuckle:
"Scientists believe the shift is connected with the temperature of the oceans and their pattern of heating and cooling the atmosphere but, Mr. Gadomski said, “our understanding of how a persistent pattern locks in isn’t very good.”

Chicago's coldest summer yet

Looks like Obama and his Commie "associate" homeys are chillin good in Chicago. Now I know that last sentence has nothing to do with the weather...I guess I acted stupidly, too.

El nino is coming El nino is coming!!!

Looks like Noaa has some empirical evidence for what we were all thinking here in San Diego.

"The Pacific had been in what is called a neutral state. But forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say the sea surface temperature climbed to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit above normal along a narrow band in the eastern equatorial Pacific in June"

Isn't this true for the whole country?

This is from NOAA. It's getting harder and harder to hide what the weather is really doing. Did anyone check to see if algore was there?

San Diego had it's coldest June that i remember. June gloom is still lingering as i write this. I'm a little concerned that la Nina caused this and that we will be in for a doozey of an el Nino this winter.
We'll see.

OK, I'm at it again

So some guys I know just got back from San Felipe, Mexico. Normally this time of year the water is around 80 degrees and the air temp is around 95 at least. They came back with stories of it being 85 degrees max down there. The locals couldn't stop talking about how unusual this is.
My wife and I got back from Palm Springs last week and the tram station at the 8,500 foot mark read a high of 48 degrees. This is almost 20 degrees cooler than normal.

Is anyone paying attention?

Has anyone looked at the headlines across the country?

The sun cools, the Earth cools. Period.

One year and counting

I guess I'm probably the only one reading my blog but who cares. Woo Hoo...it's been one year since the first post and creation of the Hands Across the Glacier blog.
NOW GO FIND A WAY TO WARM THIS PLACE UP.
