In a similar vein, with temperatures rising on the average, record

That does seem to be the trend.

Things are not always what they seem, there may be a good
reason why record day of year lows are not as common as day of
year record highs.

And there is an _excellent_ reason, does anybody know
any physics? This AGW thing must be some kind of disease,
even the people who know better seem to be persuaded there
is a warming trend based on temperature records.

Oh, everybody thinks temperature records should show
whether or not there is a warming trend, huh? Guess again,
where is a physicist when you need him?


This is so simple it should make fools out of climatologist
who has ever argued that less record lows means there is a
warming trend.

But this is no way to make statements in science, there
should be at least an editor involved, if not peer review.
But surely there must be peer reviewed papers that
tell why there are less record lows than record highs.
