It’s official: January 2016 was the most abnormally warm month on record. http://ofa.bo/f9nQ #ActOnClimate
“Since I placed the Rose Law Firm in charge of keeping track of the old records, ‘on record’ now means ‘starting January 2016’.”

My Yorkie’s undercarriage would argue against that it was abnormally warm this past January.
Well, I have to report that we’ve had the wettest winter in western Washington since records were started in the 1880’s. Lately, I’ve been trying to prepare for spring planting by digging/cultivating some raised beds. And you guessed it. Insert shovel… BLAP! GUSH! Water table near the surface! Yuk. I thought El Nino winters were supposed to be warm and dry here. Someone’s forecast models are screwed-up.

Yes, because comparing temperatures taken my thousands of electronic thermometers in 2016 is totally comparable to the ones taken before computers, aka, the vast majority of the “records”.
So what did he have to say about last winter when it was below 20 for like 50 days and we got about 12 feet of snow? …..That’s what I thought.
And do keep in mind that older, pre-computer, records when transferred were ‘adjusted scientifically’ downwards to better represent the temperature record as the scientists needed it.
Plus how can any self respecting journalist, or scientist even use the word abnormally here. What exactly would the nomal temperature for January 2016 be? Please don’t say the average. I know you want to say it, I know you are dying to say it but don’t.
As an aside. Given the expansion of genders these days whatever meaning the word normal, and hence abnormal, may have had pertaining to the natural world is gone.
Someone needs to educate the global warming crowd and Hussein Al-Barak (peace be upon him) on significant figures. I know this is SCICENCE! 101 stuff, but I guess they were all out protesting something that day.
