United States Is Getting Colder, Not Warmer

Powerline ^ | November 7, 2011 | John Hinderaker

[QT3.14]

At Watts Up With That, data from the National Climatic Data Center are reviewed. The results are quite startling. Every region of the continental United States has shown a cooling trend during the winter from 2001 to the present, and five of the nine regions have also had a cooling trend during the summer. With respect to annual mean temperature, only one of nine regions–the Northeast–has gotten warmer; the other eight have gotten cooler.

I’d like to hear what Texans have to say about that.

Remember, it’s getting colder because of negative feedback loops caused by global warming. Meaning that if it were not so hot it would not be so cold.

Really, all changes in climate are caused by global warming. Everyone knows that! There’s a consensus!!!

United States getting normal, not un-normal.

[RedStateGuyTrappedinCT]

only one of nine regions–the Northeast–has gotten warmer; the other eight have gotten cooler.

Having just got over a 5 day power outage caused by a pre-Halloween snowstorm, after record snow the previous winter, I'd beg to differ with this statement.

And wetter or at least where I live...

[cuban leaf]

It was in the low 70’s yesterday. 75 today. I love it here! Full moon makes the evenings a joy as well. I was working on my new shed by moonlight last night. Too cool.

[thackney]

Last winter, the Houston Texas area saw as many snowfalls as we often would get in a typical decade.

How realists view global warming:

Follow the money.

I’m a Texan! This summer was hot and dry, very hot, but lately winters have been cooler. I’d say summers are about the same in general, except last summer that was a hot one.

The problem is, there is always someone willing to provide whatever “information” is required to reinforce a particular viewpoint. And then that “information” provider will attempt to profit from the data, manufactured or real.

I’m highly skeptical of global warming, but not unwilling to examine real facts. Real, undistorted facts are difficult to find.

[rollo tomasi]

Too much CO2/chlorofluorocarbons clog up the atmosphere, thus creating a blanket which prevents the sun from doing the natural phenonomom of creating perfect weather conditions. The development from unnatural predators, otherwise known as mankind, of certain evil inventions like the combustible engine, central air conditioners, refrigerators and hair spray have ruined the universe. Perfection can be achieved if we sanitize the universe of people that are not followers of group think. /s

Very nice graph of 30 years. So what?

Show me a graph of the past 10,000, and I’ll be impressed. The earth is 4.6 billion years old. 14,000 years ago, Niagra Falls did not exist. Why? It’s plateau was covered with ICE. It was the suddenly fast melt of that mile of ice that carved the Niagra Falls and associated gorge. What caused that warming?

30 years out of 4,600,000,000. Sheesh.

Hmmm...I guess it is from the LIBERALS hot air there!!! the other eight have gotten cooler.

I guess I should go out and open a snowmobile shop in Florida!! (Maybe I can get the taxpayers to back this venture!! /s)

[ChiefJayStrongbow]

I really like when our elite writers and politicians use a very basic word and then clarify its meaning by adding the phrase "not ". Example: - Hillary's pants are getting bigger, not smaller - We need less goverment, not more government

[luckystarmom]

But then you had the very, very hot summer that I’m guessing made up for the winter.

[crusty old prospector]

Other than this record breaking summer, which was so hot because of the lack of soil moisture from the drought, our summers have been slightly above average. I would also say that over the past decade, the reminder of the years have been also slightly above normal. What we don’t seem to be having are the very sharp arctic outbreaks that last about a week and keep the high temperature below freezing for an extended period of time.

hey!
Is that 1.5 degree increase from 1973 the same as the 1.5 degree increase from 1950 and the same 1.5 degree increase from 1880?

I’m ALARMED!!!

...but not by the impact of natural solar fluctuations....
