Whoa! Earth at 58.24F in 2014 was allegedly hotter than Earth at 62.45F in 1997

Whoa!

The global average temperature of 62.45 degrees Fahrenheit for 1997 was the warmest year on record, surpassing the previous record set in 1995 by 0.15 degrees Fahrenheit

The average temperature for the year [2014] was 0.69°C (1.24°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F) [ie 58.24F] , beating the previous record warmth of 2010 and 2005 by 0.04°C (0.07°F).

So-called Scientists Don’t Know The Sun Sets Every Day

Too stupid to spend much time on it … but so stupid it should be noted.

“The scientists set up infrared heaters over the five meadow plots measuring 30 square metres (322 square feet).

Left to run day and night, the heaters burned through more than 128,462 kilowatt hours of electricity.”

Sea Ice Extent – Day 42 – Fluctuations Getting Smaller – AMO Peaked?

Published on February 12, 2015February 12, 2015 by sunshinehours14 Comments

Update: I have added a graph at the top.

The red line is the AMO for January’s only. The blue lines are Antarctic Sea Ice (top) and Arctic Sea Ice (bottom) for just day 42.

Note that Antarctica follows the AMO. And the Arctic does the opposite of the AMO. And also the Arctic is a mirror of the Antarctic.

Note also that the January AMO has flattened out around 2005 which is when the Arctic at this time of year bottomed out.

Data: South / North

Both the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice fluctuated by large amounts every few years around this day.

Not so much the last few years.

The Arctic would go up and down by 700,000 or 800,000 …. and now it is only going up and down by 300,000 and the bottom stays the same at 14.2 million sq km.

The Antarctic would fluctuate by over 1,000,000 sq km . The last 4 years have seen very small changes from year to year.

It could be a portent of stability or just a pause before the process reverses itself.

The AMO is getting ready for the big plunge (see bottom graph’s) and is only staying high in just a few months – Aug/Sep/Oct.

It may take decades for the AMO to hit bottom.

And I suspect the Arctic will refreeze and the Antarctic will melt some. And climate “scientists” will claim they predicted it all along.
