Valentines Day record shattered.

Hearts were warm this Valentine's Day, but the same couldn't be said for Chicago's weather.

As if the past several days of brutal cold and extreme temperatures weren't enough, Sunday set a record for the unprecedented cold, according to NBC 5 Storm Team meteorologists. 

The high temperature was just 4 degrees, breaking the previous record of 8 degrees, which was set in 1943.

......

Geez just imagine how cold it would have been if not for global warming......hahaha. Talk about the Valentine’s Day massacre!

When was the hottest day ever in Chicago? Why in 1934....most of the central US  had it’s  hottest day in 1934 or 1954. Long before CO2 increased.

Now imagine what the warming groupies would say if we suddenly registered a 108 degree day, four degrees above the record.....the hot equivalent aberration of the Valentine’s  day freeze.

They would be all over that, telling us hundreds died and all is doomed. But did we hear much about this astonishing cold record...nope it was conveniently suppressed.

"When was the hottest day ever in Chicago? Why in 1934....most of the central US  had it’s  hottest day in 1934 or 1954. Long before CO2 increased."

Irrelevant. Chicago is not the world, and global temperatures are being monitored and they are showing a warming planet, this is irrefutable. The 10 hottest years on record have occurred in the last 12 years. 

The warming period in the early to mid 20th century that you keep banging on about have been accounted for  primarily by other factors such as increased solar activity and a decrease in volcanic activity, as well as other smaller contributing factors like greenhouse gasses and changes in sea current. The primary factors that naturally contributed to that warming period however are not currently occurring so can't be responsible for the current warming.

Actually I’m just recording extreme cold temperatures, because you warming types bang on when heat records are broken. Your supporters do this all the time in lurid headlines.

And anybody with half a brain knows when global warming is supposed to be 1.2 degrees.....4 degrees is not warming, it’s variation. But that also applies to heat waves, wildfires and all the other phenomena that occupy Warming Inquisitors.

Man made  increases in atmospheric carbon is one of several possible contributors to the 0.7 degree increase since the fifties....and until the models work properly, we won’t know if it’s even the most significant.

In the meantime we continue to set record cold readings in spite of the best efforts of the measurement cheats.

You may know but the temperatures in the Southern  Cape in January varies between 27 C   and 36 C.    This  January we had a day or two where the temperature was down to  17 C   - for the rest the variation was between 2 4 C to 32 C,,    

That is why I do not always trust the idea that there is global warming as a problem.    Maybe it is my distrust  of Government interventions where tax money is made available in floods and  wasted in the process,    I do not trust government to be efficient and that applies to all countries,    Once Governments get involved in this type of thing   it leads to real abuse of finances and  taxpayer abuse becomes the norm.    

The norm in such cases is the people gets poorer and the politicos and their pals richer.                

Maaik, this is the third cool summer in Cape Town, and I  can't recall when last we had a proper thunderstorm in CT December...1999 to the best of my knowledge...I might be wrong, but the weather is a bit off as of late...we all know it shouldn't stay exactly the same every year.

A thousand people could eat artificial protein not real meat, as Bill Gates wants us to do, and not cover the’ excess carbon’ generated in one of his flights.

Hypocrites!

And as usual, Rooi has zero interest in discussing or debating anything.

Just here to fling some insults.

Isn't there a saying about people that prefer to discuss people rather than ideas?

Your quickly becoming a bore, Rooi.

Pull your socks up.

If you say so...tit.

ButtPlug, I don't care what names you call me but do note that the name "Tit" has been reserved for the dull-witted clown who actually registered with the name "General Tit" on this very board.

"Er just because you don’t like a source doesn’t mean you have won an argument. "

Lol...yet it's a common practice in these spats.

Moffie, I'm not having an argument with you. Your childish and cowardly behaviour over the years has rendered debate with you meaningless.

No, I'm just having a laugh at the pompous old fool who quoted two discredited charlatans and still advised other posters to do their homework.

LMAO!

"Your childish and cowardly behaviour over the years has rendered debate with you meaningless."

Debate, lol, you only know how to chuck sh!t

Pretty much....the Insulter in Chief....otherwise an empty suit.

Plum I see you have poor redstink nicely summed up. 

I still want to know from these buffoons how Co2 both warms the planet and cools the planet. 

Also how did the Universe create itself from nothing. 

These nutjobs lack any ability to reason.  They are merely sponges sucking up whatever is given to them. Walking Zombies.
