“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”

Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.

    Well i’m not a scientist (actually I am, but not a climate scientist), but im gunna take a wild flailing stab in the dark and suggest it’s maybe due to unfettered fossil fuel emissions.

    Call me crazy but i think this might be what’s happening here.

        Pretty much every damn scientist nowadays, no matter their subject, seems to be a climate alarmist. I wonder what that could mean!

        The only reasonable conclusion is a conspiracy, of course.

      What makes you so sure? As I see it, it could be that or illegals… maybe there is a synergistic relationship beetween the two?

      Couldnt El Nino also be a contributing factor this year?
