Hottest September 2014

Global temperatures matched record for hottest September - Technology

Not so much where I live at 43N. Last year(2013) saw 7 heat alerts and 6 extreme heat alerts.There was exactly one ‘heat alert’ for the area for the whole summer of 2014 although that did occur early in September.  Otherwise 2014 was a cool summer.

The report of the hottest September is hard to reconcile with a September that also experienced:

September Snow Cover Was Highest On Record In North America

Winter Arrives Early in Alaska, says meteorologist

Heavy snow in Kyrgyzstan – Four people frozen to death

Early snowfall on the big Island of Hawaii seen on satellite

Snow and cold endanger harvest in Kyrgyzstan and Mid-Ural

Snowfall in Canada September 2014

2nd earliest snowfall on record in Rockford, Illinois

Chicago – Third earliest snowfall on record

Earliest snowfall ever on record in Eau Claire

Heavy snow in Bulgaria  

Romania – “Snow as in the dead of winter”

Record snowfall in Finland

1695 low max records broken or tied from Sept 11 to Sept 20

Heavy snow comes to northwestern Ontario

130 year record low in Vladivostok

The hottest September also saw record sea ice around Antarctica and NASA confirm that the South Pole has been cooling for 35 years. Sea ice rebounded in the Arctic from the low of 2012. Lake Superior has cooled considerably since July 2012.

Does anyone see a problem with this picture? The satellite temperature record is said by NASA to be the most accurate so why is the land/sea thermometer record diverging more and more from the satellite record? And why not use the satellite record when reporting the global mean temperature anomaly? Because it doesn’t support the warming scenario??

And how does the ‘hottest September’ claim matchup to global climate model projections?

Even ignoring satellite data Year-to-date ‘record’ temps are 0.21C *below* climate model projections        

       

Somebody wake me up when the frequency of 100 degree days start to increase or for that matter when the number of 90 degree days start to increase.

CO2 is so good at trapping heat that we are seeing more snow, cold and ice as the planet ‘warms’. Can you say ‘snake oil’?
