How hot is it? It’s so hot that even though I know next to nothing about global climate change, I’m doing a post on it.
When there was a heavy snowstorm back in Februray, and the Fox news geniuses were saying that this snowstorm was burying all notions of global warming, I embedded a Daily Show clip pointing out the idiocy of using this single bit of anecdotal evidence.*
So instead of pictures of thermometers with three-digit temperatures today, here are two simple graphs from Climate Progress showing more systematic, long-term evidence on hot and cold.
*Jon Stewart should also have pointed out that the temperatures weren’t especially cold for February. There was just a lot of snow.
