We've had the crappiest summer here which is not normal. I sure wish that global warming was true. Rev those engines and make it happen. I don't want another crappy summer like this.

Hell you say it's been way hot the last week or so. Crappy summer was doing great when August was in the eightes. lol.

80's is not a good summer and we've been getting low 80's in august. In august I expect low 90's which is average since forever. Global warming should mean much higher not lower than average.
"When it comes to climate science reporting, the Mail on Sunday and Telegraph are only reliable in the sense that you can rely on them to usually get the science wrong. This weekend's Arctic sea ice articles from David Rose of the Mail and Hayley Dixon at the Telegraph unfortunately fit that pattern.
Both articles claimed that Arctic sea ice extent grew 60 percent in August 2013 as compared to August 2012. While this factoid is technically true, it's also largely irrelevant. For one thing, the annual Arctic sea ice minimum occurs in September – we're not there yet. And while this year's minimum extent will certainly be higher than last year's, that's not the least bit surprising. "Around 80% of the ~100 scientists at the Bjerknes [Arctic climate science] conference thought that there would be MORE Arctic sea-ice in 2013, compared to 2012."
The reason so many climate scientists predicted more ice this year than last is quite simple. There's a principle in statistics known as "regression toward the mean," which is the phenomenon that if an extreme value of a variable is observed, the next measurement will generally be less extreme. In other words, we should not often expect to observe records in consecutive years. 2012 shattered the previous record low sea ice extent; hence 'regression towards the mean' told us that 2013 would likely have a higher minimum extent."
I love seeing the AGW dorks getting buried....it's a guilty pleasure.
I love seeing the conspiracy theory denialist dorks with egg on their face after believing whatever the tabloid media tell them to think, then having them exposed as the having got the science wrong.....again
