Climate Denial Crock of the Week with Peter Sinclair “Weirdly Warm” 2017. Could we Set another record? March 12, 2017 View image on Twitter Follow Zeke Hausfather @hausfath 2017 has been weirdly warm so far despite a lack of El Nino conditions. If Jan/Feb temps were representative it would end up surpassing 2016 7:18 PM - 11 Mar 2017 6666 Retweets 6161 likes Both Zeke Hausfather, above, and Robert Rohde, below, have been members of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperatures group, formed by climate skeptic physicist Richard Muller – significantly, with funding from the Koch Brothers – that closely examined surface temperature records to finally settle, (at least in Muller’s mind), what every major scientific group has known for 40 years. Yesterday, both of them tweeted observations about how global temperatures are playing out. Normally, following a giant El Nino, such as we saw in 2015-16, we would expect a temporary drop in global temps, possibly with a complimentary, cooling La Nina event. That is not what we see. The question arises – will we set new global temperature records 4 years in a row? View image on Twitter Follow Robert Rohde @rarohde With both January and February 2017 being warmer than the 2016 average, the odds of 2017 finishing warmer than 2016 continues to increase. 11:04 AM - 11 Mar 2017 6262 Retweets 2727 likes Follow Robert Rohde @rarohde February 2017 was the second warmest February since 1850 for both land and ocean individually and in combination, behind only 2016. 10:57 AM - 11 Mar 2017 1010 Retweets 11 like Climate Central: Here’s your monthly reminder: something just isn’t right in the Arctic. February continued a string of record or near-record monthly sea ice lows. Warm weather ensured Arctic sea ice hit its lowest extent ever recorded for February. Sea ice covered 5.51 million square miles, which is 455,600 square miles below average or a chunk of missing sea ice four times the size of Italy. That just isn’t normal.
