Global-warming-denying conservatives, why is this the hottest year on record?

because the climate is cyclical

and by the way, this year is not the hottest year on record

1) Because the official temperature recording devices which were once remote (and have not been moved) are surrounded now by pavement.

The sun heats and cools and no one has ever said the earth does not go through cycles. What has been said is that it has never been scientifically proven that CO2 causes warming! Correlation does not equal causation. The evidence shows that CO2 increase FOLLOWS warming (caused by the sun) because of increased plant activity.

Listen, Mr. Wizard, what you are citing is known as anecdotal evidence and it is completely unscientific. Your statement is no more scientific than when skeptics say, "If global warming is so real how come there is 6 feet of snow outside?"

You're in good company!

EDIT*** You know nothing at all. I have worked to bring attention to the acidifying oceans on this planet. Every time an ignorant sheep like yourself speaks of the harmless CO2 that is necessary for life, that's one conversation spent not on the more serious food-chain-related ocean. One dollar to clean the air which is perfectly fine is a dollar not spent to clean the garbage patches. And Cap N Tax does not even clean the air it only encourages companies to put ALL their factories in 3rd world countries which are EXEMPT. It is nothing but global-wealth redistribution you STUPID SHEEP!!!

EDIT #2******* By the way, Buddhists do not believe that Buddha is a deity you 6th-grade moron.

I stay interior walking distance of the Pacific Ocean, and that i've got lived here while the alarmists/leftists have been proclaiming worldwide cooling. Over 30 years in the past they began chanting worldwide warming and expected that the place I stay might have a extreme upward thrust in ocean stages, flooding lowlands, that should take place interior twenty year or much less. That became 25 years in the past and that i'm nonetheless waiting. no longer something has replaced, no longer the sea point, no longer the water temperature. The state climatologist, George Taylor, uncovered the rip-off, and he's a actual scientist, no longer a flesh presser. The state governor examine Taylor's checklist, and fired him, or tried to. Taylor wasn't politically superb. additionally, I studied Earth technology in college as a minor. additionally, i'm no longer new to technology; i've got spent my stay working in technology and technologies. All my acquaintances are scientists or technologists. So, do no longer repeat Al Gore's lies to me. This climate substitute hoax runs alongside leftist political lines, and that is fed by potential of liars and morons. have self belief it!

If any of the global-warming people would put some real research into their thinking, they would see that global temperatures between 4 and 8 thousand years ago were shown to be 1 - 2 degress C higher than they are now.

Human industrialized society and energy usage was not present then.

You know nothing about astronomy. Here's some science for ya buddy.

Ever year the sun orbits around the sun, correct. Well every year it orbits at a slightly different degree. Due to the gravitational pull of the sun to the earth. The cycle in which we are in know is where the earth is near the closest degree of orbit around the sun. Before long the earth will be orbiting farther away, and our summers will become a bit cooler.

NOAA: 2010 Tied with 1998 as Warmest Global Temperature on Record

Summer 2010 the second warmest on record, Arctic sea ice continues its 14-year decline

its actually been pretty cool all summer here in oregon, never getting above 85...I remeber when I was a kid it getting into the 90's. Though So Cal has had an indian summer which means summer ends later for em. I dont think it has much to do with Global Warming. BTW you do know active volcanoes give off tons more co2 then humans do combined, so should we cap and tax volcanoes to?

I live in florida and at 1735 that's 5:35 pm it is 81 degrees and cooling fast low tonight's forecast temps to be around 57*.

Not the hottest year on record here.

global warming has nothing to do with the "weather" for a given year. Just ask the climate change people who tried holding a conference a couple years ago in D.C. But, D.C. was closed due to snow.

If this is the hottest year on record, why was the New Mexico chile crop's harvest delayed a month because it failed to mature on track because of cooler temperatures?

EDIT: The harvest was delayed because of unusually cool temperatures during your "hottest year on record." IF THAT'S NOT SCIENCE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

Take your pseudo-science and your limited climate record, (nobody around to record it before humans got onto the planet,) and shove it.

This past winter we had record lows in Florida. It has been 75 today and normal is probably mid '80's. Do you have some data to back up your claim? I hear it's 45 in Michigan already.
