Miami: Coldest Dec on record!

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/12/30/noaa-on-miami-florida-coldest-december-on-record/


I wonder how these records are being set? I thought the planet was burning up?

Here we are in Toronto. Haven't seen snow yet this year and 11 celcius or 52 F and rain yesterday.

Here in NJ December was the first month that was below average after 9 consecutive months of temps above average.

Simple Explanation

The reason it's colder is because the planet is getting warmer. The heat coefficient of the thermal inversion is indirectly proportional to the funding available to various research groups. Therefore, we will soon enter another ice age if we don't immediately take action to stem the increase in green house gases produced by the military-industrial complex of the emerging third world, and/or give more money to those who are studying the global warming/global cooling inversion conundrum. Jeez guys. I thought Gore already explained that.

You guys should put down the political blogs and read a science book or two, seriously.

Are these the "science" books that tell us that because we are breaking 100 year records of cold that the planet is getting warmer? Shouldn't there only be record high temps rather than low? If we were getting record High temps only would that mean that the planet is getting colder? Has the planet ever warmed or cooled before US capitalism? Would the ice age have melted quicker if we had SUVs then? Why was there an ice age to begin with? Why will $5.00+ gas prices slow the heat up and how will no domestic drilling or any development of our resources keep us from depending on foreign oil? This assumes we still (and DO) need oil. Why put your unquestioning faith in a computer model? BTW my thermometer has no political bias, thank you very much!

Somehow I don't think your comment added anything to the dialog.

Perhaps a contribution?
