Streak Hits 30…A Word About Paris
So, President Trump dumped the Paris Climate Accords yesterday. One of the biggest excuses I hear from American conservative circles is that “It’s all a hoax just to further the liberal agenda.” So is the temperature and specifically record data that I and others have been presenting all made up? For those of us who […]
Building a Better Method to Forecast Dangerous Heat

In this post I will attempt to begin to put that research to the test aiding climate scientist’s and meteorologist’s quests for warning the general public of the chances for dangerous […]
Planetary Record Temperature Trends for 2017
I have been using the following NCEI site to do my U.S. record statistics for years. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools/records Recently I have used the site to investigate record temperature trends in other countries such as Canada and Russia. Not many people know that the site keeps tallies of all records coming in from the entire planet. There […]

Between the time I posted part one of my findings on Russia record trends and now, bombshell after bombshell of scandalous news in association with the Trump administration has been printed in every major newspaper.

For reference, here is what I came up with for Canada: http://www.guyonclimate.com/2017/04/28/canadian-record-trends/ I am getting all of my data from: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools/records In order to get […]
April 2017 Most Extreme U.S. Temperatures
