In the last 130 years of NASA's Northern Hemisphere record, July was
7th warmest.

Only 7th? We'll try harder next month, but
August is already out of the running.

Would you trust anyone who said, "It was cosmic rays, not
airplanes, which brought down the World Trade Center towers?"
NO! You'd trust them as much as someone who said, "The
warming was due to Anything But Carbon Dioxide!" This
group is full of ABCD cheerleaders; don't trust them.

What year would woger want July to be 7th?

Why does woger mention terrorism in a GW newsgroup?

The Mean July temperature over the last 130 years is 14.075 C.
The Variance is 0.08904.

Where are you getting all the decimal places,
old thermometers didn't have any.


The Standard Deviation, or SIGMA, is 0.2984.

Rxy 0.694744 Rxy^2 0.48267
TEMP = 13.713542 + (0.005524 * (YEAR-1879))
Degrees of Freedom = 128 F = 119.424211
Confidence of nonzero correlation = approximately
0.9999999999999999999 (19 nines)

Only 19 nines? I am disappointed.

The month of July in the year 2009,
is linearly projected to be 14.432,
yet it was 14.67. - 0.8 SIGMA above the trend,

The "trend"? Is it on rails, up, up, up?

so
the warming continues to accelerate.

So July 2009 was 0.6 degrees above the mean?

Why is woger so worried about a temperature of
0.6 degrees when the daily average in most places can
vary by more than 10 degrees?

Want to try for a Number One in September?

Probably not, 1997 was a real outlier.
