Global warming is totally not real.

How unprecedented is the Australian heat wave? As meteorologist Jeff Masters explains, it is both deep and widespread:

It’s been a summer like no other in the history of Australia, where a sprawling heat wave of historical proportions is entering its second week. Monday, January 7, was the hottest day in Australian history, averaged over the entire country, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The high temperature averaged over Australia was 105°F (40.3°C), eclipsing the previous record of 104°F (40.2°C) set on 21 December 1972. Never before in 103 years of record keeping has a heat wave this intense, wide-spread, and long-lasting affected Australia. The nation’s average high temperature exceeded 102°F (39°C) for five consecutive days January 2 – 6, 2013–the first time that has happened since record keeping began in 1910. Monday’s temperatures extended that string by another day, to six. To put this remarkable streak in perspective, the previous record of four consecutive days with a national average high temperature in excess of 102°F (39°C) has occurred once only (1973), and only two other years have had three such days in a row–1972 and 2002 (thanks go to climate blogger Greg Laden for these stats.) Another brutally hot day is in store for Wednesday, as the high pressure region responsible for the heat wave, centered just south of the coast, will bring clear skies and a northerly flow of air over most of the country.

So like global warming is totally not a real thing,

According to NOAA’s latest “State of the Climate” report, the average temperature for the lower-48 states was 55.3°, which is 3.2°F above the 20th century average, and 1.0°F above the previous record-year of 1998.

Last year was marked by an historic drought, above-average wildfires, multiple freak storms that wiped out power to millions, and multiple severe heat waves. According to the U.S. Climate Extremes Index, 2012 was the second most extreme year on record — coming in below 1998, the previous hottest year on record.

Precipitation was also down significantly in 2012. Average rainfall for the lower-48 states was 2.57 inches below average, contributing to the severe drought that gripped the nation and helping make the wildfire season the third most destructive on record.

To see how these and other billion-dollar extreme weather events impacted Americans, check out the Center for American Progress report, “Heavy Weather: How Climate Destruction Harms Middle- and Lower-Income Americans.”

Here’s how NOAA breaks down last year’s temperature records:

U.S. temperature
Every state in the contiguous U.S. had an above-average annual temperature for 2012. Nineteen states had a record warm year and an additional 26 states had one of their 10 warmest.
On the national scale, 2012 started off much warmer than average with the fourth warmest winter (December 2011-February 2012) on record. Winter warmth limited snow with many locations experiencing near-record low snowfall totals. The winter snow cover for the contiguous U.S. was the third smallest on record and snowpack totals across the Central and Southern Rockies were less than half of normal.
Spring started off exceptionally warm with the warmest March on record, followed by the fourth warmest April and second warmest May. The season’s temperature was 5.2°F above average, making it easily the warmest spring on record, surpassing the previous record by 2.0°F. The warm spring resulted in an early start to the 2012 growing season in many places, which increased the loss of water from the soil earlier than what is typical. In combination with the lack of winter snow and residual dryness from 2011, the record warm spring laid the foundation for the widespread drought conditions in large areas of the U.S. during 2012.
The above-average temperatures of spring continued into summer. The national-scale heat peaked in July with an average temperature of 76.9°F, 3.6°F above average, making it the hottest month ever observed for the contiguous United States. The eighth warmest June, record hottest July, and a warmer-than-average August resulted in a summer average temperature of 73.8°F, the second hottest summer on record by only hundredths of a degree. An estimated 99.1 million people experienced 10 or more days of summer temperatures greater than 100°F, nearly one-third of the nation’s population.
Autumn and December temperatures were warmer than average, but not of the same magnitude as the three previous seasons. Autumn warmth in the western U.S. offset cooler temperatures in the eastern half of the country. Although the last four months of 2012 did not bring the same unusual warmth as the first 8 months of the year, the September through December temperatures were warm enough for 2012 to remain the record warmest year by a wide margin.

HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES HUH PEOPLE THAT THINK GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!? THATS WHAT I THOUGHT!

[Amake]

It's just a heating trend that happens to be faster and more persistent than any of the planet's history that totally coincides with our increasing production of carbon dioxide, you can't prove that it won't turn around all by itself!*

*Not before it's too late anyway.

[Osterbaum]

Wow, I sure am convinced that global warming isn't real.

Excellent another person SAVED!

Whilst I am at it another article proving that global warming is totally a HOAX

At the end of December, ice extent in the Atlantic sector remained far below normal, as parts of the Kara and Barents seas remained ice-free. Ice has also been slow to form in the Labrador Sea, while Hudson Bay is now completely iced over. On the Pacific side, ice extent is slightly above normal, with the ice edge in the Bering Sea extending further to the south than usual. The Bering Sea has seen above-average winter ice extent in recent years and is the only region of the Arctic that has exhibited a slightly positive trend in ice extent during the winter months.

SEE IF GLOBAL WARMING WAS TRUE IT WOULD BE THE LOWEST!!!1

I'm p. sure that the Sun is just like, hotter than usual right now and it'll cool down in a few years. Everybody is just making a big stir about this CO2 thing so they can cash in on government subsidies and green tax credits.

Anyhoo off to the bank to cash my pro/anti-global warming bribe cheques!

Yeah, I think this is one of the leading counter-theories (aside from plugging ears and going "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!") out there at the moment.

Could go either way, really.
We know the Earth's gone through ice ages, so who's to say we don't have... I dunno, "desert ages", "sun ages"?

That said, reducing CO2 emissions to before-global-warning levels couldn't hurt either, I think.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

We only just came out of an ice age anyway. Clearly the planet is just returning to its usual pre-ice age levels. Nothing to worry about here folks!

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I just did the most humungous fart. That probably explains it.

[Ryong]

We've had hotter days here, but we had an unusually hot winter ( even though somehow we apparently had more "cold hours" than the last few years ) and we've been having an endless hot day stream and it's supposed to be cold here.

Fucking hell.

[Aerozord]

as much as I hate the term because I know it was invented just so skeptics wouldn't have to admit they were wrong but global climate change is a better term to use because global warming does create areas of localized cooling.

Meteorology is complicated, yo.
