Not true.

1934 was the third warmest year in the U.S. but only ranks 48th
warmest globally.

2012 from Jan. to May ranks the 10th warmest with May ranking the 2nd
warmest May globally. We'll have to see how the year finishes.

Globally, the 20 warmest years have all occurred since 1987.
The temps are gathered from world wide weather service records,
include land and ocean temps with the mean being averaged between
1901 and 2000.

When we talk of global warming we are talking the whole earth not just a
few insignificantly few square miles of the tens or thousands of square
miles on earth surface. So it may be 105 here but that has nothing to
do with global warming.

I snicker every time I see someone telling me the the total earth's
atmosphere has changing 0.2 degree F when the temperature range on the
earth surface varies over 100 degree from one end of the earth to the
other on any given hour of the day.

OR when the global warming "scientist" say that global warming has
raised the sea level on one side of the Atlantic and not the other by
2mm, when the oceans changes 1000 mm on the average with every tide
change. I see the water raise on one side of the bowl and not the other
every time I get a drink.

OR when they tell me the pH of the ocean has changed less the the
accuracy of the pH standards they use in make the measurements.

If they took these "statistical" analysis to generate these numbers to
the FDA for the approval of a drug they would be laughed out of the
building.

With it so hot there have been days with NO air movement. ( Windmills
need steady 12 mph winds to operate. The bigger they are the higher the
wind speed.) I am sure the windmills provided a lot of supplemental
electricity to assist the conventional and nuclear plant on these days
when every ones air conditioners were at a maximum.
