Those who describe
global warming as a “farce” are obviously not taking any note of what is
happening around the world or what the science says.
Writing in a story headed: “The Planet Just Had Its Warmest August On Record” The Huffington Post
says the latest readings continue a series of record or near-record breaking
months.
Climatologist and climate modeler at NASA's Goddard
Institute for Space Studies, Dr. Gavin Schmidt, told The Post that while the agency's data does indicate that this
August was the hottest on record, the difference falls within a few hundredths
of a degree compared with previous Augusts.
“Schmidt cautioned against focusing on any one month or
year, but instead on the fact that "the long-term trends are toward
warming." A very hot August, he said, is just one piece of the data that
"point[s] towards the long-term trends," The Post reported.
