July average maxima in San Francisco coolest since 1971

Which is only relevant to the argument about global climate change as far as the contribution of California to the global annual temperatures goes. Which is very small.
The same is true for the US as a whole. Another recent post was showing the map of the US and the how “cold” it is in the southern parts – that the northern part of the US are hotter than usual and that the whole of Canada is much hotter than usual was left out.
And still more posts are (and have been) about the ocean surface temperatures — which happen to be cooling now — and which comprise roughly 75% of the *global* temperature. Or would, unless you flip the bias toward the land…

Everyone here is aware that the period following 1977 has been warm. You lament that you can only work with facts and logic. So you’ll be particularly interested in this:

The facts are that the Global Temperature Record we are bombarded with in the media is riddled with errror and outright fraud.

It’s my understanding that in the 1970’s Climate Scientists were telling us that we were probably entering a new Ice Age.

That’s because there is a new neighbour in California, cold follows him wherever he goes….

From the NASA GISS personnel blurb for Dr. Hansen,

in his own words…(my bolding)
One of my research interests is radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres, especially interpreting remote sounding of the earth’s atmosphere and surface from satellites. Such data, appropriately analyzed, may provide one of our most effective ways to monitor and study global change on the earth. The hardest part is trying to influence the nature of the measurements obtained, so that the key information can be obtained.
Pretty much sums it all up, I daresay.

Isn’t it valid (according to ‘climate scientists’) to extrapolate one temp up to 1200 miles away?
Both Yosemite and Eureka are far less than that and also within the 250 mile limit used by other ‘climate scientists’.

Many areas of the globe are seeing unprecidented cool weather.
But just the same… Anyone willing to jump in on a wager that July will still end up to be one of the hottest on record ?
… as will August
… and September
… and October
etc etc
(of course they’ll toss in the odd cool month every now and then just to throw us off the scent of the trail)
Mighty good thing those surface station sites are all slowly getting closer and closer to the equator, otherwise the climatologists might be forced to sing a different song. And that just wouldn’t be good for cap and trade, now would it ?

Here in Brazil we had -10°C in some cities of the south, and for the first time some cities experienced snow, but all we see and hear is about Russia and their heatwaves
