Here are some key indicators of long term temperature trends in the US as identified on climate signals.org.
In a post to the site dated July 30, it said in the past 365 days in the US there were 4.03 high temperature records fr every 1.0 low temperature records.
Also posted there was the following:
"In the United States, the most recent decade (2000-2010) was the nation’s warmest on record. Record-breaking high temperatures are now outnumbering record lows by an average decadal ratio of 2:1. Record highs are occurring more often than record lows due to climate change.
"In a stable climate, the ratio of new record highs to new record lows is approximately even. However in our warming climate, record highs have begun to outpace record lows, with the imbalance growing for the past three decades. This trend is one of the clearest signals of climate change that we experience directly."
Hapless Jopo is giving stupid as good a run as anyone, and according to himself getting paid $11/post for doing so. At the risk of repeating myself, if it's acceptable for Hapless to do stupid it's acceptable for anyone else to outpoint that.
