The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s most accurate, up-to-date temperature data confirm the United States has been cooling for at least the past decade. The NOAA temperature data are driving a stake through the heart of alarmists claiming accelerating global warming.

Responding to widespread criticism that its temperature station readings were corrupted by poor siting issues and suspect adjustments, NOAA established a network of 114 pristinely sited temperature stations spread out fairly uniformly throughout the United States. Because the network, known as the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN), is so uniformly and pristinely situated, the temperature data require no adjustments to provide an accurate nationwide temperature record. USCRN began compiling temperature data in January 2005. Now, nearly a decade later, NOAA has finally made the USCRN temperature readings available...

If the cooling date is indeed confirmed; they will just jump on that side of things. They will still insist on controlling the economy and use climate change to seize control of our lives.

Look for the envirofacsits to seize this as proof their programs are working, but now we must do more. The goal remains the same but they may have to tweak their argument a bit.

It was warmest, coldest, wettest and driest ... ... it was weather.

Sounds like the weather channel reporting on...anything.

Graph pretty much follows sunspot cycles with some hysteresis

Global Warming fanatics follow release of contrary data with intense hysteria…

Exactly. Local extreme weather records are rarely broken. Normally local highs and lows fall between the normal range, occasionally they don't. That's the way it is where I live. That's weather.
