For the last week it's been in the high 70s to mid-80s in Memphis....in mid-July. Sunroof open, A/C off....I'll take this ANYTIME. Forecast says we may even get a few more days of it next week after getting back to normal this week. This makes 2 out of the last 3 summers we've had unusually cool weather in the normally brutally hot days of July and August.

(For the uninitiated, normally it is temps anywhere from low 90s to mid 90s during the day with heat index usually in the high 90s and often topping 100. At 10 o'clock at night it can still be in the high 80s.)

Just rejoicing in some awesome summer weather.....now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.....

Better watch those references to the cooler weather in Memphis. The cooling temps, polar vortexes and extreme winter in the Northern hemisphere, especially mid-continent, is one of the signs of global warming. The warmer waters reverse Atlantic and Pacific currents, and the air masses which are normally prevented from getting very far south in the summer, and winter, can get further than normal.

I'm sure the cooler temps have been welcome in Memphis, though unwittingly proving that global warming is real.

The earth is made up of at lot more than the thin layer of atmosphere.



David, I do not recall you acknowledging the continuing ocean heating (which is where 90%+ of the heating has occurred and continues today unabated).


or glacial losses


or the Arctic sea ice volume loss.


And as for the atmospheric temperatures, it has been near constant for 11 years not 17 years (5 year average)


And one cannot ignore the rise since 1880 with a pause from 1940-1977.

And the amount of hot air arising from Las Vegas denialist conference has yet to be accounted for.
