Of course as we all know, weather is only climate when it makes warm or hot records. /sarc
http://mapcenter.hamweather.com/records/yesterday/us.html
Of course, the perennial worry-warts will be quick to point out that there are more record highs than record lows on that map. What they won’t tell you about is how there are many more weather stations east of the Rockies with a higher spatial density to experience that weather.
I thought cooling was consistent with CAGW >/sarc>
Gleick is sick. I mean, really what an utter smug, caught-in-the-act….ass!!
We had 64 here were I live on the north coast, not a record by any means. If the arctic front comes this way it will be 5 or so in a few days. Nothing strange about that either.
We’re having a very similar media-battle here in Australia. Desperate to pump their ‘bushfire’ narrative the ABC finds itself in the bizarre position of talking to an audience which in the main is experiencing cool, cloudy and yes…showery weather.
Cognitive Dissonance?
I’ll say!
By UN decree there are no low temperature records, AGW will cause warmer winters.
Did we miss the memo.Evidence does not matter.Models are reality.
Selective blindness is the required state of mind to belong in Gleick’s; “World of mann”.
Ryan Maue twittered this forecast some hours ago – if that blast of cold materializes, Gleick et al will probably blame “climate change” for that, too… https://twitter.com/RyanMaue/status/290359265191931904/photo/1
Oh my goodness! It is 71 F in Tennessee in January! Truly Armageddon is upon us. Just like it is several times annually, as all of us know who grew up in that part of the country.
To be an Alarmist, you had to grow up in a metropolis and, like many who did, you had to be oblivious to weather and climate. In addition, it helps to suffer from a powerful form of hysteria.
I think Gleick meant to say:
The chickens are coming home to rust.
I mean, that’s the really puzzling part? Chickens? Rusting?
Been below freezing for several days in NE Oregon with a short warm up that turned the snow to ice. now back in the low 20f high to 5f or so for the lows…
I’d take some of that 50f weather…
That’s why the preferred terms for alarmists are “extreme weather” or “climate change;” equivalent to “heads I win, tails you lose.”
I can’t put it anymore charitably than this: Peter Gleick is an out and out liar whenever it may benefit him and/or his cause. I would not buy a used car from him.
And – here’s what I hate about the alarmists lying with impunity, and the seeming inability for some people to use common sense. This is a facebook post from a friend yesterday:
Attended the MN Orgic [sic] Conference in St Cloud yesterday….feeling renewed and re-energized about planting, but learned that MN is climbing 3 degrees warmer each year for the last decade- that is an exponential vertical climb when you look at 210 years of weather….
How could ANYONE not do the math to see that what they claimed would represent a 30 degree (and I don’t really care if that’s in F or C) rise in annual temps in the last 10 years? It amazes me… I kind of wish I had been at that conference….
The Huffington post even reported it. I thought they might want to hide it. Polar bears having problems though, ha ha, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt on that one.

It’s a lot of feathers, but no chicken in that roost.
In Australia hot weather in summer is sparking wide Green-hysteria. Jo Nova has an excellent article on the prosecution of a man who tried to protect his property from fire threats in Western Australia.

The joker in TN obviously has no memory or powers of observation. It’s not at all unusual to have some kind of warm snap in January. It’s usually short-lived, but I seem to recall that we almost always have one out here in the KS/MO area. Truly, people who live in the city for all their lives are completely oblivious to the weather and how it works just like they are to the wildlife.
Perhaps Chicken Little could explain to me why it’s 32f / 0c here and i’m looking at snow for the last 4 hours. Oh yeah, it’s winter and that’s the weather we have. Just like it’s summer in Australia where they seem to be concerned that it’s warm and just as in the rest of the world in summer some fires started ( And most likely as a result of bored kids and arson, as usual )
I do twitter a lot, I’d try and engage but i know the formula now. Ask a question about a statement that appears to be untrue and blammo, find yourself blocked and often followed by an insulting comment that you can no longer respond to. ( followed by the rest of the tribe chiming in )
Funny how climate change appears to be an issue when a fraction of the world is hot for a fraction of the year. Come live in Europe, we do cold. We do it so well we even do it in the summer.
To be fair to Gleick do we know he wrote this or did someone pretending to be him write it and try to pass it off has Gleick’s work in a dirty , low down, dishonest, cowardly, lying , attempt to smear him .In a way that only a person that is so low down that worms could not crawl under , would do ?
Chickens? Which chickens? Would they be the forged chickens coming home to roost?
I noticed the record H was 76 in 1920. Perhaps the chickens are 93 years old.
TeryMN, did you ask your friend to clarify the 3 degrees increase issue? Obviously what he/she wrote was incorrect and I wonder what he/she was talking about.
I saw a similar Facebook entry from a friend of mine who stated that Earth’s temperature was increasing, and I queried it after all every one can see that the last 12 years, although the hottest on record are pretty flat line.
She replied that it depended on how you looked at the data and over what period. Something to do with taking a long enough time line to get a statistically significant result. I think she said you had to look at about 30 years of data to get a trend as that period would account for the background variation due to the complexity of the climate system. Well that’s news to me!
In the Midwest, with the application of salt to the roads (quite literally: ‘road salt’, actual NaCl) I imagine they (the chickens) rust too (everything else does!)
.(Raison d’être the term ‘Rust-belt states’ e.g. Michigan, Ohio, Illinois etc. was coined ???)
.
…at my personal weather station, we logged a new record low this morning, 21°F, breaking the old one set in 1963:
==========================================
TWC channel seems to be a bit selective in reporting records. They’ve gone on about Chicago having a record for the number of days without snow yet failed to mention, as far as I saw, that Columbus set a record for the amount of snow for a particular day back in December.
I also noticed that they aren’t reporting the areas record highs and lows like they used to, unless the record high was recent. If the record high was a tie, they don’t use the year the record was set but rather the most recent year it was tied, without saying it was a tie.
I must admit these observations are just my impression. But isn’t that the point, to leave the impression that climate and/or weather are somehow “different” than they used to be?

Interesting question which raises another one. How did this impostor, if there is an impostor, manage to reach down into Gleick’s psyche and do such a perfect impersonation? It is nothing less than artistic genius – or it is Gleick.

Setting aside the professional liars and the other alarmists, it is the people who grew up in a metropolis and never had a practical reason to observe weather or climate. I have two life long friends who grew up in Manhattan and Philadelphia, respectively, and moved to St. Louis. Both were shocked to see a bug in a house. Neither had enjoyed that experience in the metropolis.
