I’ve seen it hotter where I live. It hasn’t even made it to 100 degrees all summer, which is unusual.

Florida had a lot of days in the 80's.. not bad and the humidity was not bad at all. When it rained, and we are in the rainy season it cooled it down to the 70's.. and nice breezes ... I am in SW Florida and it is usually consistently hot for months.. we got a lot of breaks from the heat this year.

According to NOAA.

I like Dr. Spencers lower troposphere data. It was .2 degrees above normal and not at all the hottest month on record.

No need for the alarmism.

Roy Spencer is a hub of climate misinformation.

A LOT.

If climate change is primarily natural, we are pouring billions of dollars into Industrial Wind and Solar areas that is a TOTAL waste of money.

Worse yet, it keeps us from focusing on building dams, new electrical generating capacity, irrigation systems for farmland and other necessary infrastructure to mitigate the effects of natural climate change.

Looking at the history of natural climate change the effects in the western US are GREATER than those predicted for man-caused climate change for the next century.

The economic effects are even worse. Cheap energy is what makes the current lifestyle available to the middle-class across the world. Expensive energy will not be good for political stability in world.

IF you want to do ONE thing.....call your Governor and have them bring back 55 MPH. 10% immediate reduction in CO2 emissions OVERNIGHT. The Europeans are doing it as we speak.

That is a win-win for the environment, the taxpayers, human health and more!!

Global warming is real and man-made. Climate deniers have not been able to put out research that points otherwise.

The fact we are even discussing this is absurd.

The real debate is just how bad it’s going to get.

I believe his data is real and it does show warming. Your quotes are from 10-15 years ago.

Try to follow along:


1) Humans are part of nature, just like every other animal on the planet.
2) As such, human impact on climate change is, in fact, a natural phenomenon.
