Carbon Pollution Fuels Superwarm January, Hottest 12 Months On Record

Hot on the heels of the hottest year on record globally, NASA reported Saturday last month was the hottest January on record — by far. January 2016 blew out the previous record for hottest January (2007) by nearly 0.3°F.

In January the Arctic averaged a staggering 13.5°F (7.5°C) above average, leading to a new record low of Arctic sea ice extent for the month.

There has never been as hot a 12-month period in NASA’s database as the previous 12 months (February 2015–January 2016). This is using a 12-month moving average, so we can “see the march of temperature change over time,” rather than just once every calendar year.

Significantly, January had the single biggest recorded monthly temperature anomaly (deviation from the 1951-1980 average temperature) — a whopping 2°F above the average January temperature. This means it’s even more likely that 2016 will not just be one of the hottest years on record, but very possibly even hotter than 2015, which itself was the hottest year on record since … 2014.

If you detect a pattern here of human-caused global warming, you are in the company of more than 97 percent of climate scientists. True, every year is not going to be warmer than the last — but we do appear to be in the long-awaited global warming speed up. And a recent analysis of 2015’s record warming by Climate Central makes clear that virtually all of the warming — some 95 percent — is due to human activity.

You truly have to be tone death to not see that globally we're freaking frying and think global warming is somehow a lie. Dumb.

We're all gonna die!!!!!!!!!!

No, really.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Is it warm enough to delay the next ice age?

Matthew by all means come for dinner tomorrow and wear your bathing trunks. I'm going to reach a high tomorrow of minus 14. C. Bring your tanning lotion.

Now the 97 has been busted wide open. Puleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze stop using the 97% bullshit.

You are gonna need a really good airconditioner this summer.

I can set you up with a good unit for around $700.

Remember, if you wait too long you will be at their mercy and the rates will double.

 

[Eaglewings]

I really love the colder weather and we are having summer in February.. it is getting hotter / dry in my area everyone is talking about it.

 

[Votto]

Dims better raise carbon taxes or the world will soon end.

All our problems can be solved with taxes.

 

[tinydancer]

Matthew those of us who live in the real world. Well maybe not all women like me. But instead of hitting Cancun we do this and we don't believe for one minute in global warming.

Now for me. Crappie's my game but hey what ever else I catch I'll eat but this is what I consider global warming. Around a camp fire in an ice hut.

 

[tinydancer]

Dims better raise carbon taxes or the world will soon end.

Why don't they just say it? I want what you have. Thank you for working for it and giving it to me.

 

[Vandalshandle]

Matt, the deniers are pretty much in retreat, so, instead of claiming that global warming is a hoax, they are now saying, "so what?"

DUMB FUCK!

You ignore the El Nino.... Cause it cant cause temps to rise..

And then you go off an make wild ass claims unsupported by any physical empirical evidence..

PROVE THAT THIS IS ALL 100% HUMAN ACTIVITY!

SHOW ME FACTS!

 

[Billy_Bob]

Now the 97 has been busted wide open. Puleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze stop using the 97% bullshit.

The article he is using to support his lies is pure bull shit. He has no facts (empirical evidence) to support any of his hype. They are getting desperate now.. Cooling will hit hard by the end of the year and if they dont get their wet dream fantasy fulfilled quick they will all be shown liars..

Joe Romm is an activist playing the role of journalist. He uses John Cook for one of his biggest information sources.. I wont even use Romm's articles as birdcage cover for fear of loosing brain cells in my parrot..

 

[Billy_Bob]

Carbon Pollution is SOOT not CO2.. Conflating the terms to make them appear to equal each other... trying to cloud the issue and make shit up.. typical Romm!

 

[Old Rocks]

Now Silly Billy, you don't get to define the commonly used terms.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Matt, the deniers are pretty much in retreat, so, instead of claiming that global warming is a hoax, they are now saying, "so what?"

Are we back to calling it global warming again?
What happened to climate changering?

 

[Anathema]

If carbon pollution gives us,the weather ww had in January insread of what weve gad the last two and a half weeks, I'll be happy to run my car all night long, every night.

Thank you Matthew for saying "on record" hope for you after all

Been saying the Damn thing for 40 years. The climate changes....

Big FUCKING deal.
