May 2014 Was The Warmest May Ever Recorded
NOAA reports today that May was the globe’s warmest in 134 years of records, besting the previous high mark established in 2010. Last week, NASA and the Japan Meteorological Agency – in independent analyses – also released data indicating it was our home planet’s toastiest May on record.
But that couldn’t have anything to do with the warming of the planet could it? Naaah!

Didn’t the Mississippi legislature ban this map? Or was it South Carolina? Anyway, clearly an illegal map in most southern and western states.

More heat, more water, big El Nino, sounds like big storms with lots of flooding coming in the fall and winter. Maybe when the climate deniers are being flooded out they might quit denying? Naa, never happen, they will just drown in ignorance.
