July in the USA max temp graph looks like the 1930s (but not quite as warm).
Kinda looks like the AMO
According to the NOAA, April 2016 was ranked 24th warmest out of 122 in terms of Maximum.
Did you know 1946 was the 2nd warmest April?
Fracking is amazing.
A new report by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) found hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has pushed
carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electricity generation to the lowest levels since 1993.
Fracking created immense amounts of natural gas, lowering the price and causing the amount of electricity generated from natural gas to pass the amount of electricity generated from coal for seven of the months in 2015, according to the new EIA report. The report specifies that natural gas power plants produce about 40 percent of the CO2 emitted from a coal plant creating the same amount of electricity. This caused U.S. CO2 from the electricity sector to fall by 21 percent since their high in 2005.
“[T]he drop in natural gas prices, coupled with highly efficient natural gas-fired combined-cycle technology, made natural gas an attractive choice to serve baseload demand previously met by coal-fired generation,” read the report. “Coal-fired generation has decreased because of both the economics driven by cost per kilowatthour compared to that of natural gas and because of the effects of increased regulation on air emissions.”
Another shocker. AGW predicts brown …. and green happens.
A new study just gave people another reason to be skeptical of climate models relied upon by scientists to predict the future impacts of global warming.
Climate models have long predicted man-made global warming would cause the western U.S. to become more arid and brown, but that’s not what happened. A new study examining three decades worth of satellite data found the western U.S. — indeed, the world in general — is greening because of increased carbon dioxide emissions.
It’s another prediction failure from climate models, according to Chip Knappenberger, a scientist at the libertarian Cato Institute. Knappenberger pointed out on Twitter that climate models predicting “browning” in the western U.S. were dead wrong.
Despite the El Nino that supposedly made the earth the “warmest ever”, the NOAA Climate At A Glance pages shows no records for February temperature.
Maximum was 6th highest – 3.06F colder than 1954.
Minimum was 7th highest – 1.61F colder than 1998
The NOAA ranked October 2015 precipitation in California as 45 out of 121 with 121 being wettest.
That means 44 Octobers were drier. Up and down — dry and then wet. That is normal. Its not climate change.
According to the NOAA, October 2015 was ranked 102 out of 121 for precipitation.
20th Wettest! (Tied With 1900 and 1972)
5.5x as much rain as 1952. Permanent AGW Drought? Bull****.
Take a look at all the green states. Green is near record rainfall. Light green is much above normal.
