October: Another LOUSY Month For the Global Warming Hoax

The members of the Church of the Holy Global Warming Moonbats, just hate when you throw facts at them. They say that when the temperatures fall it is because of Global Warming. For the "normal" people the fact that temperatures are going down is more evidence that the global warming crisis is nonsense. Take a look at the  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration review of October:

National Overview:Temperature Highlights - October

• The average October temperature of 50.8°F was 4.0°F below the 20^th Century average and ranked as the 3^rd coolest based on preliminary data.
• For the nation as a whole, it was the third coolest October on record. The month was marked by an active weather pattern that reinforced unseasonably cold air behind a series of cold fronts. Temperatures were below normal in eight of the nation's nine climate regions, and of the nine, five were much below normal. Only the Southeast climate region had near normal temperatures for October.
• Statewide temperatures coincided with the regional values as all but six states had below normal temperatures. Oklahoma had its coolest October on record and ten other states had their top five coolest such months.
• Florida was the only state to have an above normal temperature average in October. It was the sixth consecutive month that the Florida's temperature was above normal, resulting in the third warmest such period (May-October).
• The three-month period (August-October) was the coolest on record for three states: Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Five other states had top five cool periods: Missouri (2^nd), Iowa (3^rd) , Arkansas (5^th) , Illinois (5^th) and South Dakota (5^th) . Every climate division in Kansas (nine) and Nebraska (eight) recorded a record cool such period.
• For the year-to-date (January - October) period, the contiguous U.S. temperature around the middle, ranked 43^rd warmest  out of the past 115 years.No had a top or bottom ten temperature value for this period.
• Precipitation Highlights - October
• The U.S. recorded its wettest October in the 115-year period of record. The nationwide precipitation of 4.15 inches was nearly double the long-term average of 2.11 inches.
• Two major snow storms hit the contiguous United States during October. The first struck the Upper Midwest October 9^th through 13^th, while the second blanketed the western Plains States October 27^th through 30^th. By month's end, 13.6 percent of the nation was under snow cover, according to NOAA's National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center.
• Unusually cold and wet conditions across the middle of the country led to several snowfall records. Cheyenne, Wyoming observed 28 inches of snow during October, making this the city's snowiest October on record. North Platte, Nebraska recorded 30.3 inches of snowfall, making October 2009 the snowiest month of all months on record for the city. The previous record was 27.8 inches, in March 1912.

Along with the weather patterns, there was research news discrediting the global warming craze, for example that "Hockey Stick" is fake:

The term "hockey stick" was coined by the head of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Jerry Mahlman, to describe the pattern of historical temperatures in the northern hemisphere (it kind of looks like a hockey stick on its side). The chart shows relatively stable temperatures until around 100 year ago when we see a spike up.  It is one of the key pieces of information used to prove that global warming is about to destroy the world. 

To create most of the chart , climate change scientists  had to use natural sources (as opposed to someone taking the temperature with a thermometer). Tree rings and ice core samples were used to measure the temperature levels, which are standard procedure. What isn't standard procedure is the fact that the tree samples were selected to skew the study.  In other words the study was bogus.

Between the weather facts and the bogus global warming research, it is no wonder that Americans are moving away from a belief in the climate change hoax.
