It's Too Darn Hot

Whenever there's a major, record-setting blizzard in the middle of winter, conservative Climate Change deniers love to ridicule science with a snarky, "Oh, so how's that whole Global Warming thing going now??  Ha ha ha...!!"

Never mind that the concept is not "global warming," but "Climate Change," it's always such a warm, wonderful joke they make.  With an emphasis on the "warm"

With the crushingly hot temperatures in the East -- and actually all across the U.S....and around the world, for that matter, somehow I haven't heard the deniers making a single joke about "Global Warming, ha ha ha."  Not a peep.  I just can't understand why.

Of course, the hilarious quipping is put into greater perspective from a story out of Climate Central.org, where Andrew Freedman writers here, "Record Heat in June Extends Globe’s Streak to 340 Months."

Read that again, if the number seemed too incomprehensible at first glance.  Yes, that was 340 months.  Almost 28 years!!  Every single month for 28 years has been hotter than the historical average. As the article puts it in a more comprehensible way, assuming that's possible.  "That means that no one under the age of 28 has ever experienced a month in which global average temperatures were cooler than average (based on the 20th century average)."

Or to put it another way, the temperature has been hotter than that month's average month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month after month...

And you're still 40 months short.

But then, when you're dealing with people who tend not to believe in science (as if it was a "belief system), why should you expect them to believe in facts.

By the way, news flash:  the world isn't actually flat.
