Lower than average temps are caused by global warming

The earth has been a lot warmer. We’re currently in a state of cooling

You're a farmer right?  Trying growing your crop in a controlled environment where CO2 is less than 280 PPM and let us know how that turns out.

Lets see that data.  I guess NOAA and NASA keep that under lock and key.

On record? In the history of the planet? Why don’t you say since NASA startec taking Satellite readings of temperatures???

On record, just as my post states.

No, we don't had a recorded history of Earth's temperature.

Why not do a bit of reading?

Chris Hayes of the uber-liberal MSNBC responded to a complaint on Twitter that his network wasn't clanging the global warming alarm bells loudly enough or regularly enough with this tweet:

"every single time we've covered it's been a palpable ratings killer. so the incentives are not great."

So why this sudden outburst of common sense among the mainstream press?

Perhaps they've come to the realization that after decades of end-of-the-world predictions and oversaturation coverage, during which time global temperatures have barely budged, the public has stopped paying attention. You can only predict the end of the world so many times, after all, before people start to get skeptical.

The attempts by scientists and environmental activists to blame everything on global warming has probably increased public skepticism as well. Case in point is a video running on the Weather Channel app about a study that claims to have found a link between suicides and climate change. Even an uninformed public will start to question the validity of all these wild claims.

The public may also have noticed that the most vocal preachers of climate change doom — Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio, etc. — don't act like there's any crisis whatsoever. They still own huge energy sucking mansions and party on massive gas guzzling yachts.

They aren't the only global warming hypocrites. A survey earlier this year by researchers at the University of Michigan and Cornell University found that those who said they were "highly concerned" about global warming were the least likely to take individual action. Skeptics were more likely to do the things the alarmist demand: recycle, use public transportation and so forth.

How big a crisis can climate change be if those who scream the loudest about it can't be bothered to change their own behavior?

Whatever the cause of the climate ennui, it's clear that years of proselytizing about the "existential threat" posed by a warmer planet has failed to win many converts.

In fact, a recent Gallup survey asked people to name the most important problems facing the country today. Neither "climate change" nor "global warming" even showed up on the list of more than 45 items. Just 2% named "environment/pollution."

Patrick Michaels, Cato Institute scholar and a former Virginia state climatologist, points out that while the combination of heat and humidity hit a maximum heat index of 125 degrees in Northern Virginia on the day before Independence Day, nothing this summer comes close to matching the misery that befell the nation in the summers of the ‘30s when, Babe Ruth set home-run records, Bonnie and Clyde set bank-robbing records and the heat set records that stand today. John Christy, a University of Alabama climate scientist, observes that 11 of the 12 hottest years on record occurred before 1960. That was before the rapid rise in the supposed source of human-caused climate change — carbon dioxide released by industrialization.

Great lakes just hit 70% ice coverage.

4 out of the last 6 years more than average ice. 

We'll have cold issue before warm in North America

Talk of moving spring sports later in the year because of recent winter's are underway

No fucking way, NASA and NOAA say different.  LOL 

Hemm he also said:

"We just said that human effects have a warming influence, and that's certainly true."
