Climate Change as Postmodernism

COOLER THAN NORMAL HERE IN NORTHWESTERN SC The first and last weeks of August were cooler than normal here with the middle weeks warmer.  For the fifth month in a row there were no record weather events. The high temperature was 94 on August 22; the lows were 63 on the 1st and 28th.  We did finally break the 5 months in a row of above average precipitation with only 3.75 inches, down 0.73 from average. SEVEN YEAR COOLING TREND HERE The traditional June, July, August meteorological summer temperature period was similar, with June-  1.5 degrees below normal, July-  0.3 above, and August- 0.6 below, which averages out to 0.6 degrees below normal for our summer.  Our high summer temperature was 96 on July 21st, and after the record heat of August 2007 (10 days at 100+) and summer 2010, both detailed last month, we've been in a seven year cooling trend with only 2 days reaching 100 degrees those 7 years. I wondered if those receiving this weather le...

August 2017- GLOBAL TEMPERATURES  and GREEN ENERGY The g lobal average, lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for August, 2017 was +0.41 deg. C, up somewhat from the July, 2017 value of +0.29 deg. C.  It has been swinging back and forth in a narrow range following the El Nino, a couple of tenths of a degree above the pre-El Nino averages.  Unlike the previous very strong El Nino of 1998, the recent one was not followed by a La Nina, but that might still come.  The El Nino/La Nina phenomena is well documented, but  its causes are poorly understood .  Our present global temperature is about 0.7 C degrees above both 1978 when the satellite record began and also above 1945, 73 years ago, when the  IPCC  says anthropogenic warming became significant (the graph was shown last month).  This 73 year trend line results in less than one degree additional rise in global warming by the end of this century.  An acceleration in global warming ...
