From Poor Richard's News, Benjamin Franklin's favorite website (if he were alive):
Uh oh. According to the latest data, 2014 has been the coldest year on record to date.
From Hearland.org:
This year has been the coldest year in history through May 6, according to the network of nationwide thermometers monitored by the U.S. Historical Climatology Network. Summer officially arrives later this month, and it better be a warm one if the United States is to avoid setting a new record for its coldest year ever.
…Assertions that warming temperatures in the United States are causing a host of problems are soundly contradicted by the objective temperature data. The U.S. Historical Climatology Network thermometers, which have been measuring U.S. temperatures since the 1890s, show no long-term trend in U.S. temperatures.
This, coupled with the fact that there hasn’t been any warming in nearly 18 years, suggests that we might indeed be entering a period of global cooling.
As I always state, I’m not a scientist. The climate is dynamic and complex and I believe that no one fully understands it. But it doesn’t take a scientist to understand the fact that the data isn’t even remotely lining up with alarmists’ projections. Because of this, it stands to reason that, perhaps, we should stop putting quite so much stock in what they have to say.

That doesn't surprise me, since I had to work every night
You lived in the coldest part of the United States during the coldest winter in history. Congratulations! Now go burn some crops, inhale, and then contribute to that CO2 level needed for plant growth.
Wasn't "climate change" the new name change for "global warming" after many complained about the excessively cold temperatures???
I agree that the Earth needs cleaning up, and we can start with Fukushima (WHOA, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE HEARD THAT WORD!) We can also make China, Southeast Asia, and India comply with Kyoto air quality measures (AND GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE) of which the U.S. and Russia have been doing and complying with, despite this "fashionable" notion that U.S. based petro energy is the root of all evil.
NOTE: THE U.S.A. AND RUSSIA ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO ENDANGER AIR QUALITY THAT CAN BE COMPARED TO 1/10 OF WHAT CHINA OR INDIA IS DOING (so can we please stop it with the evil, evil North America petro company diatribe?? I live in Texas and I am more than aware of what these a$$holes do in terms of manipulating government, and they can't hold a candle to what China, India, and Southeast Asia do since air pollution from these countries (along with Fukushima radiation) is now showing up on the west coast of the U.S., and being labeled as racist conspiracy theory since the source of this filth isn't coming from companies run by good-ole boys in the middle part of the United States and North America (and they are an easy target, especially since they are mostly white males who run such companies).
I really think this is a racist issue, because rather than attack India, China, or Southeast Asia, it is much more "fashionable" and easier to attack oil companies in North America (with mainly white owners for shareholders) than it is to attack non-white owned companies and governments who are clearly the main problem for poor air quality on Earth. The statistics below speak for themselves. Now please go attack the proper source (even if they aren't white), instead of people who follow international rules and regulations to maintain proper air quality:

The most polluted cities of the world's largest economies
BEIJING is frequently shrouded in dense, yellowish smog so thick that the other side of the road is obscured. But the deadly smog that enveloped the city over the past weekend was so bad that air-quality readings from a monitor on the roof of the American Embassy said simply: "Beyond Index". The embassy uses the US Environmental Protection Agency's air-quality index (AQI), which measures the concentration of PM 2.5 (total mass of particulate matter of 2.5-micron diameter or smaller per cubic metre). Such particles are small enough to be inhaled and can damage lungs. The AQI range ends at 500; at one point a reading of 886 was recorded. A reading above 100 is deemed “unhealthy for sensitive groups” and anything above 400 is rated “hazardous” for all. These independent readings have put pressure on the authorities to release more detailed data of their own. A year ago Beijing's municipal officials bowed to public pressure and started reporting data on PM 2.5 for the first time. But Beijing is not even the most polluted city in China. Using a different but more widely used measure collated by the World Health Organisation of larger particulate matter called PM 10 (total mass of particles of 10-micron diameter or smaller per cubic metre), which allows cross-country comparisons, that dubious honour is bestowed on Lanzhou in the north-western province of Gansu (and the city of Ludhiana in India is more polluted still). Better data may soon be available. This month China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection announced that 74 cities were to begin monitoring and reporting the levels of multiple pollutants, including PM 2.5, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and ozone.
I knew it!!!
PET ROCK: my question is this: does it make me a racist for reporting the truth??????
depends on your political affiliation
