Reply With QuoteThat's interesting but expected as we are in a warmer period (by debatable means). Is that a bad thing, most people's lives have improved with warmer temperatures since the last ice age and certainly in America.

Wow. That's pretty goddamned remarkable:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/2012/10The average temperature across land and ocean surfaces during October was 14.63°C (58.23°F). This is 0.63°C (1.13°F) above the 20th century average and ties with 2008 as the fifth warmest October on record. The record warmest October occurred in 2003 and the record coldest October occurred in 1912. This is the 332nd consecutive month with an above-average temperature. The last below-average month was February 1985. The last October with a below-average temperature was 1976. The Northern Hemisphere ranked as the seventh warmest October on record, while the Southern Hemisphere ranked as second warmest, behind 1997.

Wow... imagine that, the earth warming after a mini ice age. No f'in way. Who could have guessed that by taking a look at the period of warming since the little ice age that the latter half of the years would have the bulk of the above average numbers? Wanna bet those years closest to the little ice age had the most below average years?
Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

I agree, not sure what the point of his post was, would we all feel so much more relieved if there was some statistical blip like a cold October in 2007? Who really cares and certainly no shock.Originally Posted by Superfreak
Super, why do you think Colorado went Dem this election?
