It’s Not Your Imagination. Summers Are Getting Hotter. – To create the bell curves, Dr. Hansen and two colleagues compared actual summer temperatures for each decade since the 1980s to a fixed baseline average. During the base period, 1951 to 1980, about a third of summers across the Northern Hemisphere were in what they called a “near average” or normal range. A third were considered cold; a third were hot. – There is no longer an honest, intelligent argument about whether or not the globe is warming. This argument is dead. We are now going to move onto a new argument – whether this warming is good for the humans living on this planet. This is how the politicians will shift it. Irrelevant of that spin though – the pain will start in the south (of the USA at least).
