“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.

we should really wait until we have more evidence before making such wild and unfounded statements

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?
