January 2020 was Earth’s hottest January on record. The long-term trend of above-average temperatures continues

Birds that usually come here in March arrived in the fourth week of January. Some flowers that usually open in late spring appeared in the first week of February.

good post!

Plenty of oil company shills here!

The Earth is 5.45 BILLION years old, 141 years of record keeping means absolutely nothing when you consider Earth cycles that are thousands of years in length.

In the contiguous U.S., last month was the fifth warmest January in the 126-year record, with an average temperature of 35.5°F, 5.4°F above the 20th-century average. NOAA's report highlighted "significant climate anomalies and events" from January 2020, including below average Great Lakes ice cover, a record high temperature in Boston, and a "strong, spring-like storm system" in the South and Southeast.

Florida 10 degrees hotter than normal this year, muggy humid in January

Big oil absolutely, positively doesn’t want their CO2 connected to climate change. That is very, very big bucks.

Well they're a little stupid and liars. I just checked the 30 day forcast where the last 2 weeks are projections based on the average temperatures for some time in my region, and guess what, we're several degrees colder than last year and the average.

The average for the last week in Feb, for Southern interior region, is around 8 above C. Today we were close. We certainly warmer.

Check your averages for the past few years.

They're lying.

February 13, 2020 In the span of 141 years of climate records, there has never been a warmer January than last month, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.

What’s more, the temperature departure from average was the highest monthly departure ever recorded without an El Niño present in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

January 2020 marked the 44th consecutive January and the 421st consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th-century average.

The January global land and ocean surface temperature was the highest on record at 2.05 degrees F (1.14 degrees C) above the 20th-century average. This surpassed the record set in January 2016 by 0.04 of a degree F (0.02 of a degree C).

The four warmest Januaries documented in the climate record have occurred since 2016; the 10 warmest have all occurred since 2002.

Quick, panic. Let's try and hold the earth temperature exactly where it was in the 20th century. Because even though the earth has been around for billions of years and has been both warmer and cooler, we as genius humans know that this point in time is where it belongs and we must try and fight the natural cycles and not let it change

I'm in Michigan and it's colder then hell here right now so how does that factor in?
