You do realize 'science' is a methodology and its findings are subject to challenge in order for it to be valid. In the absence of argument you are not holding 'science' in your hand, you are holding a political agenda.

So if i go to a Harvard lawyer or accountantant or financial advisor or Yale climatologist that disagrees with yours, it represents a lack of education on my part?

The dust bowl happens in cycles.
1840's, 1880's, 1930's, 1950's, 2000's
Good grief, you know nothing about the climate of the planet you live on, or the first thing about climate change.....Global warming is about how much warmer it is now than it was in the 1880s when industrialization began.

You think AGW is a political agenda?

Scientist input data. They choose and select what data is included, for the outcome desired.
Satellite data, has been around how long?
Did the indians of North America, have a weather station or 2?

I know one thing, I'd rather be hot than cold, any day.

What are you rambling about? That has nothing to do with my post.

From the OP's article....2014 was the warmest year on record, with global temperatures 0.68C (1.24F) above the long-term average, US government scientists have said.

More from the source.... The year 2014 was the warmest year across global land and ocean surfaces since records began in 1880. The annually-averaged temperature was 0.69°C (1.24°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F), easily breaking the previous records of 2005 and 2010 by 0.04°C (0.07°F). This also marks the 38th consecutive year (since 1977) that the yearly global temperature was above average. Including 2014, 9 of the 10 warmest years in the 135-year period of record have occurred in the 21st century. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/

and meanwhile in reality, its been warming since the last glaciers started receding 15,000 years ago, with some small cooling periods, but general warming for 15,000 years...and its NATURAL

but you fascist liberals continue to lie, because you ALWAYS HAVE to HAVE SOMEONE TO BLAME, you CAN NOT ACCEPT that things happen naturally

so instead to bash, dismiss, and attack anyone who says different from YOUR BELIEFS

To properly research "Climate Change" you need to look at data from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of years, taking a ten year stretch from one area of the world gives you basically meaningless results as far as your research goes.

Last winter was crazy for the Great Lakes region of the US, so far this year it had been relatively mild except for some relatively small areas.

And yet the Great Lakes had MORE ice coverage than for MANY years.
