2013 7th warmest year on record?

Y2Kyoto 21 Comments

This article says that 2013 is the 7th warmest year on record, then it says, well 9 months of it was. What?
WARSAW – This year is the seventh warmest since records began in 1850 with a trend to weather extremes and the impact of storms such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines aggravated by rising sea levels, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Wednesday.
There is a poll that needs some help.

  1. “The WMO, giving a provisional overview, said the first nine months of the year tied with the same period of 2003 as seventh warmest, with average global land and ocean surface temperatures 0.48°C (0.86°F) above the 1961-1990 average.”
    Why are they saying 7th warmest year ever, then restricting the range to 1961-1990?
    This is bullshit. Thank God the Poles aren’t having it.

  2. I have more respect for any drug addled, street walking prostitute than
    I do for the self serving, lying gang of IPCC whores.

  3. 2013 is the 7th warmest year on record? Someone forgot to tell the Atlantic Ocean as evidenced by the dearth of hurricanes this season.

  4. Pretty ambiguous poll question.
    “Are you a firm believer in climate change?”
    Well, duh, the climate is never the same from one year to the next, never mind comparing one century to the next.
    A properly worded question would be. “Do you firmly believe that man-made carbon dioxide emissions are causing global warming?”
    The 7th warmest year since 1850, which was the end of the little ice age, if you cherry-pick the readings.
    Meanwhile..

  5. LOL, nice find. Can any of you actually understand what that opening paragraph is supposed to mean? Was that written by a blonde using text messages?

  6. Well said, and I would include the fruitfly guy and Gore in with the IPCC.
    The poll is a joke and was worded in the “Are you still beating your wife vein”. Think I got the wording right, but you know what I mean.

  7. Looking at the photo that accompanies that story, it would appear that the little town pictured would have been knocked flat by a good chinook, let alone a typhoon.
    I’m not slagging Filipinos here; they are good people, but it is a poor country, and poor people build poorly, of necessity. It’s no surprise, then, that their towns take such a beating when the inevitable storm comes.
    The best way we can help them is to shit-can this global warming fraud, and bring down the price of energy, which will help strengthen the economies of Third-World nations, and enable them to upgrade their infrastructure.

  8. Bringing down the cost of energy will bring down the cost of cement (40% of the cost of converting limestone to portland cement is in the fuel for the heating process) and rebar. As the economic circumstance improve in poor countries the shanties will be replaced by poured concrete or stone houses that can survive (and help their occupants survive) typhoons. Houses that don’t disappear in a high wind mean home equity for business loans too. Win, win, win.

  10. To the question “Are you a firm believer in climate change?” I would answer an unequivocal “YES”. The climate is always changing, always has, always will. That’s a given.
    But their choices, “Yes, look at the natural disasters and No, it’s a farce” don’t allow for a proper response.
    So I held my nose and assumed the real meaning of the question is, “Are you a firm believer in dangerous unnatural climate change caused by human CO2 emissions?” and clicked the “No” response.

  11. I actually thought it was a rather mild summer here, and it’s certainly cold as f*ck now – unseasonably so. So it’s all anecdotal. Probably explains why I’ve hard so little about global warming from my friends and neighbours lately.

  13. Idiots everywhere – New Orleans, New York, the Philippines etc. build below the level of expected tidal surges and wait for the inevitable disaster. We have 40 degrees below zero every year and almost no-one dies. We know it’s coming and we prepare for it. Not one person had to die in the typhoon.

  16. Thanks for that link,There’s only one comment over there, but it’s well worth reading.
    I DO hope the MSM will be reporting this lawsuit on the front pages where it should be.

  17. IPCC AR5 report states:
    Current datasets indicate no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century … No robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin… In summary, confidence in large scale changes in the intensity of extreme extratropical cyclones since 1900 is low.

  20. This has to rate as one of the stupidest polls ever. Considering that we’re living on a planet that for the past few million years has had periodic ice ages, anyone who doesn’t believe in climate change should apply for membership in the flat earth society. However, the questions asked are idiotic: Natural disasters have nothing to do with climate change, one can’t know about the history of ice ages and sit on the fence and “No, it’s a farce” is also wrong. Given that “None of the above” wasn’t an option, selecting the last, and totally incorrect option, was the only selection one could make in a set of questions that look as if they were selected by a blond weatherwoman who had excess peroxide leakage through her skull with subsequent oxidation of her cortex.
    It also makes me wonder if this was deliberate so that the self-anointed CAGW “experts” can point to the widespread ignorance among the population when they ask for suspension of all freedoms for the proletariat in order to fight the coming climatageddon.
    The fact that more and more people are seeing through the propaganda of the increasingly shrill CAGW lunatics is an encouraging sign, but any fraud that steals on the order of $1 billion daily is going to have a lot of fanatical support among the groups that most benefit. CAGW not only results in total corruption of politicians (at best they’re only half-corrupt) but shows up dramatically the dangers of crony capitalism which is the only form of capitalism that members of the CAGW religion will accept.
    In keeping with my campaign of subtle but daily disruption of government activities, my response to a battery deposit which I notice has been introduced in BC will be the frequent nightly dumping of my dead batteries on the lawns of local MLA’s. If I didn’t routinely cannibalize non-working keyboards and disk drives for parts, I’d be dumping defective keyboards and disk drives on their lawns as well given the additional taxes on virtually all electronic items that have been introduced in BC for “environmental” reasons.

  21. For some reason, the London Free Press closes the comments when they do not agree with the premise of the article.
