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.

Jeremy asks me:
Sally, How would you describe the person who wrote this review?
Jeremy, I’m happy to respond in this case. I’d describe Peter Gleick as considerably more informed about the IPCC and climate science than the author of the book being reviewed (as is almost everyone who’s ever looked into the subject, present company excepted).
============================
What do you mean by “present company excepted”?

King of Cool, Jan 13 @ur momisugly 4:08
It is incredibly irrelevant but those temps add up to nearly 2C above average. Both max and min. So what is your point?
I thought my point was obvious but let me try and spell it out:
Notwithstanding some devastating bushfires and prolonged very high temperatures this year in Australia, I believe most of the media has hyped this up out of all proportion inferring that heat waves with record temperatures will now be the norm.
I do not wish readers of this forum who perhaps derive all their Australian information from sources like the ABC which only give one side of the argument, to gain the impression that Australia is soon to disappear off the globe in a puff of smoke.
I simply therefore attempted to calm any hysteria and put things into perspective about the Sydney Region where I reside and inform them that things are utterly and hunky dorily normal to what I have been used to here for the last 38 years.
Yes, it has been hot for a couple of days so far this year and yes we have had bush fires which are a part of Australian life. My house was saved by Elvis the water bomber a few years ago. But most of the temperatures forecast by the BOM did not materialise and the pattern of weather that caused the worst heat seems to have disappeared.
And as far as being unprecedented I see there is now a new post Global Warming? It was warmer in Sydney in 1790 on the WUWT blog which explains it far better than I could. Perhaps you could have another two penny’s worth there if you are looking for an argument.
But what is YOUR point? If it is incredibly irrelevant why make it?
I listed the maximum Sydney temperatures so far in 2013 purely to show that it was not hot every day as some people might have falsely thought.
Yes, it would be incredibly irrelevant to try and do a statistical analysis out of 13 days of records. BTW we have now had 14 days and 7 of these days have been BELOW the January maximum mean of 25.9 deg C. Is that incredibly irrelevant? And in January 2012 it was only 0.2 deg C above the mean. Is that incredibly irrelevant?
Look, I do not think any-one on this site will argue that the annual mean anomaly has risen since 1910. You cannot really argue with the BOM Chart can you?
http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/climate/change/timeseries.cgi
It is a question of the root cause and whether the curve is linear or sinoidal. How do you explain the downward trend from 1937 to 1956 for example? And why the stasis from 1998? CO2 as a driver simply does not gel. I’m a non scientist and willing to change my mind. I know you haven’t had much to crow about for quite a while and can understand all the excitement but if the mean anomaly does not start going up again in the next three years I reckon the CO2 CAGW theory is in deep trouble.
Yow! The chickens coming home to roost will be frozen solid. The weathermen will need to be up on their cannonball ballistics, or people will be pulverized!
