    Default 2012 was the warmest year ever for the U.S.

    Also an historic year for extreme weather & storms.

    Interesting.

    Compared to what? Given the earth is hundreds of years old, don't you think it is a tad but presumptuous to think we can control the weather?

    Wait... Didn't the warmers tell us a while back that one region of the world doesn't a cooling make, yet here we are supposed to come to some conclusion that I suspect supports their claim that humans are the cause of current climate change?
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    yeah, I know... the one that lists the US has the 'contiguous 48' states, when referencing temps. Bad enough they try to make a story about 'global warming' by cherry picking one country, but to cherry pick parts of a country? Quite sad.

    Would love to see their data on all the 'extreme storms', because that claim has been debunked many times in the past, so they clearly have new data to present. I can't wait.

    funny how the title of the article indicates the US as a whole, but within the article we find out they mean the lower 48 states. Alaska (which shockingly was cooler and wetter) was not included in the 'warmest year ever recorded for US'. Shocking.

    First, I apologize. I'm not usually one to start "gotcha" threads, but I saw the headline, and wondered what the reaction would be if I just posted what I saw, without commentary, opinion, any reference to AGW or anything.

    The reaction is actually exactly what I thought it would be, but I'm still surprised by it, which is weird.

    But what happened to that great hippie place, in the woods, that you always advertised.
    Let me guess.
    You refused to pay your taxes and the County confiscated it.

    You do understand the meaning of contiguous right?
