Using Tmax, 2014 was 2.41F Colder Than December 1934 and 3.34F colder than December 2012.
How cold was the USA in November? The map below look at the Average Temperature rank out of 120. 120 would be warmest.
1 would be coldest. There are a lot of 2’s and 3’s in the blue section.
Imagine the sh*tstorm of publicity if the rank’s had been 118 and 119?
Update: Global is LAND temperatures, not LAND and OCEAN combined because of course the USA is not an ocean.
Wow.This is NOAA Global versus NOAA USA Tmax for October only.
What an amazing divergence over the last 30 years.
When the AGW cult says the USA is only 2% of the globe, remind them that USA and Global temperatures used to track pretty closely.
