Finally, this vexatious question has been settled with a meteorological time series analysis.
I’m sure the media and all who support their important work in factual climate reporting will approve.

yep. Just ask the Bolivians, while the global climate boils, they are having a spot of cold weather.
Brilliant! They just keep getting better 🙂
Well that explains it – there is NO weather. Little wonder then why we haven’t been able predict it accurately – it doesn’t exist. However, this startling scientific finding is causing me great vexation. Think I’ll just have to have my scotch neat this evening…..
Ever the fertile mind of Josh, finding golden humor in the ludicrous. In this case, the silliness from NatureNews about the S. American cold snap.
If Josh wants to borrow money on this cartoon I’ll cosine for him.
*snerk!*
Good one, as always…
This comment might be at a bit of a tangent but isn’t it weather when it’s going down and climate when it’s going up?
Just ask New Scientist: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20727754.200-time-to-blame-climate-change-for-extreme-weather.html

there goes this thread on another tangent…
OT.
Our best wishes to tallbloke and his fiancée on their engagement.
Secant you shall find.
Now I understand Climate Change!
Patagon: re New Scientist article.
It appears that AGW supporters are now trying to blur the distinction betwen isolated weather events and climate trends. This may be to distract attention from the increasingly discredited global warming, which has ceased to be shown in actual weather data for the past fifteen years.
They are looking for something apparently man-induced with which to frighten us, and which can move themselves away from their currently shaky position on climate trends. By concentrating on the more headline grabbing localised weather events, and by carefully planting links to possible manmade influences, they no doubt hope to ensure their continued existence as paid doomsters.
Is it a coincidence that the forthcoming meeting in Exeter to review the CRU global raw data records is also using the line that the emphasis on climate data analysis should now be to look at localised impacts?
Love it!
Weather has now been promoted to the level of provisionary Climate Citizen.
However, warming weather is more equal than others.
So, all the rest of you take a number and be seated. The Adjuster will call you when it’s your turn to be modified.

Ah, I wouldn’t believe that for a secant.
Well, it appears this cartoon has struck a chord.

Here’s a link for future reference.
I hear Josh will soon issue an updated version. It’s based on homogenized data, which pushes the trough above zero anomaly, as all successful homogenizations do.
So…when does the age of political/meteorological correctness end, and the real truth about climate change return? I doubt very soon, too many agendas to fulfill.
Hmmm… So the integral of climate, then, must be the wacky taxes that can be levied. The absolute value of the first derivative must be the number of scary stories than can be written / made up / recycled from years ago.
The weather/climate folks are spinning their stories so fast they’re approaching liftoff. They wouldn’t know straight talk if it bit ’em on the ankle.
Succinct. Very succinct.
40 cm snowfall today August 28, 2010, (It’s late August, but it’s still summer) in Norway:

OT: My best wishes to Tallbloke too. Good weather and climate!
The cartoon certainly strikes a chord of an arc.
Weather, a conditio sine qua non for climate.
aka
Weather, an indispensable essential ingredient for climate.
Something wrong…doesn’t look right…
Wait, let’s just “correct” the left side of the graph down a little…
Ah, that’s better!
