"The US is getting cooler"

LMAO. Goddard is getting crazier.

What about the United States?The year 2013 tied with 1980 as the 34th warmest in 120 years of data for the contiguous 48 U.S. states, according to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This comes two years after the record warmth of 2012, which was substantially warmer—a full degree Fahrenheit (0.6°C)—than any other year since national records began in 1895. The U.S. warming rate of about 1.3°F (0.72°C) per century (blue line in the graph at bottom right) is roughly comparable to the global rate of warming (see above).

Despite some cooler years from 2008 to 2010, the decade as a whole (2000–2009) was the nation's warmest on record, with an average temperature of 54.0°F. In contrast, the 1990s averaged 53.6°F, and the 1930s averaged 53.4°F.



Average temperature for the contiguous 48 U.S. states from 1895 through 2013. The red line is the 12-month average for each year. The green line is a calculation of the trend during each decade. The blue line shows the trend over the last century of records. The gray line is flat because it is a simple average for the entire period. Click here or on the image to enlarge.
