FTA: The JMA measurements go back to 1891 and show that every one of the past 11 months has been the hottest ever recorded for that month.

  I wonder how the results would look if we used the same tools for those 100years. No doubt more accurate ways of measuring temp only skew results.

    It doesn't help that the official US temperature record has been adjusted and readjusted to make the past cooler.

      I wonder if there is a Conspiracy Theory of Gravity, similar to the Conspiracy Theory of Climate Change. There's this, I suppose: http://wiki.tfes.org/Gravity http://wiki.tfes.org/Gravity

        This particular Flat Earth Society is a satirical group where they entertain themselves with ingenious rationalizations such as the one you linked to. I wouldn't imagine that there is a single true believer among them.

April is looking promising. It was 86F yesterday in Western WA. Some places hit 90+ - Record high. Today and tomorrow look to be 80+ here too. First time Seattle will have three days of 80+ weather in April since records began. Cliff Mass thinks it'll be better than last summer though: http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-warmest-april-day-in-seattle-history.html http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-warmest-april-day-...

  It's not just record highs that are breaking the records by a few degrees, it's that the records are being broken by 10F. It's one thing to have a warm snap, quite another to take it to a whole new level. I mean, 80s is something SEA might see for a few days in July. Well, used to be, anyway. Yeah, yeah, weather!=climate; sit down, Captain Pedantic, I'm making a point here. As one who has walked this earth for over 50 years, I've observed that records of course are broken fairly regularly, but not with the frequency I see recently. Seems like every week I wake up to a new record, whether it's monthly, seasonal, or just today. It's a trend? Is climate change real? Dunno, not a climate scientist. But it sure seems like things are getting warmer, not just today, but generally.

Dutch sources say this is the 11th record-hottest month in a row. edit: source appears to be http://www.noaa.gov/11th-straight-month-globe-was-record-warm http://www.noaa.gov/11th-straight-month-globe-was-record-war...
