The 7th warmest year in the last 163 years, a mere tiny pin hole on the time line of the Earth, where we know it's been warmer than has been in the last 163 years and and we know it's been much colder than the last 163 years. Yet Warmists want to nail the "warming" (which some entities question, inlcuding questioning the current gov't methods of measuring temps) entirely on the back of a trace gas. Amazing.
Some other news. This year to date has seen one of the lowest ebbs in extreme weather in the United States in recorded history.
Tornado activity: Trendline is for 2013 to have the fewest tornadoes ever recorded (Will be blamed on climate change, after above average year was blamed on climate change a few years ago. Of course historical trendline discussion by Warmists almost wholly dismisses factors like-Weather radar technology, urban sprawl, more eyes on the sky/numbers of storm chasers etc. etc.).
The U.S. Historical Climatology Network of weather stations while likely record that 2013 will have the fewest number of above 90 degree days ever recorded by the stations on this network in one calendar year.
The U.S. will likely be hit by zero storms at Hurricane strength in 2013.
