Coldest NYC August Day in History
Yesterday was the coldest August 21st in the recorded history of New York City, and actually tied for the coldest day in August, previously set in 1911.
A commenter at Digg calls everyone idiots for doubting that Gorebal Warming is real, explaining that it’s the warm air in the south that is pulling the freezing air from the north that is causing the record cold temperatures.
Hmm, wasn’t that the same kind of logic that predicted a bad hurricane season last year? And wasn’t it a year in which no major hurricanes hit land?
I don’t know if the cited person at Digg has it right or not. I do know it’s faulty to believe global warming is a myth because of an unusual weather occurrence in a particular region or because of some aberration in a particular season. Longterm, ongoing patterns of change are what will tell the tale.
