Weather is not climate

| No Comments
It is fun to watch all of the pundits cry Global Warming with the record heat. Listen to them when we have record cold (like last winter) and all you hear are the crickets. From AccuWeather comes the facts:
Extreme Heat Breaks More Than 3,000 Records This Week
A scorching heat wave is gripping much of the eastern two-thirds of the nation, setting an astonishing number of temperature records.

More than 3,000 temperature records have been shattered in the U.S. this past week, from June 28-July 4, 2012, according to NOAA. The tally of record high temperatures during the time period is 2,253, and the tally of maximum low temperature records is 936.

From July 1-July 4 alone, more than 1,000 record highs have fallen, while more than 600 maximum low temperature records have been broken.
Please re-read that for one moment -- yes, over 3,000 records broken. Of which 2,253 is for high temperatures and 936 for low temperatures. That is 70.65% of the records were high and 29.35% were for low. It's summer folks and we are setting records for low temperatures. And then, you get braying ninnies like Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. From The Hill:
Napolitano on weird weather and climate change: 'There's a pattern here'
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano this week linked climate change with the wildfires hitting Colorado.

Napolitano said �there�s a pattern here� as she noted the summer wildfires as well as the East Coast heat wave and the high-velocity winds that whipped through the mid-Atlantic late last week. Thousands of people remain without electricity because of the wind storm.

Asked point blank if the wildfires were caused by climate change, Napolitano responded, �It could be a lot of different things.�

But then she explained her view, which seemed to make a connection between climate change and the weather events.

�You have to look at climate change over a period of years, not just one summer,� Napolitano said. �You could always have one abnormal summer. But when you see one after another after another then you can see, yeah, there�s a pattern here.�
Arrrggghhhh!!! We are a nation run by morons who do not realize their own vapidity.
