Remember that graph that showed how hot The Gulf was that compared a really recent average to a range starting in 1878?
There's also some swelteringly hot years before that cut off as well.
I can't imagine a meteorologist not knowing that.
If you're going to figure a mean you need to use the entire range!
Wanna bet if we use the records going all the way back to the 1600's that the Spanish were keeping that we're going to find that it's not really that much hotter today than it's been historically?
The climate has NEVER been stable.
ReplyDeleteAckshually... The climate has been deliriously stable! Stable enough to let life form and thrive.
DeleteThat there's a lot of variation in that stability fools the greenies into thinking what's going on is a disaster.
