Quite, why would one expect any remarkable minima in such a situation. If
you presented a day with some record low temperatures, I strongly doubt the
data set would contain any record maxima.

Warming May Create Climates, Cut Others

Some climates may disappear from Earth entirely, not just from their
current locations, while new climates could develop if the planet
continues to warm, a study says. Such changes would endanger some
plants and animals while providing new opportunities for others, said
John W. Williams, an assistant professor of geography at the
University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Using global change forecasts prepared for the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change, researchers led by Williams used computer models to
estimate how climates in various parts of the world would be affected.
Their findings are being published in this week's online edition of
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The IPCC, representing the world's leading climate scientists,
reported in February that "warming of the climate system is
unequivocal, as is now evident from observation of increases in global
average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice
and rising global average sea level."

Tropical regions in particular may face unexpected changes,
particularly the rain forests in the Amazon and Indonesia, Williams'
researchers concluded.

This was surprising, Williams said in a telephone interview, since the
tropics tend to have little variation in weather.

But that also means temperature changes of 3 or 4 degrees in these
regions might have more impact than a change of 5 to 8 degrees in a
region that is accustomed to regular changes.

Species living in tropical areas may be less able to adapt, he said,
adding that that is speculative and needs further study.

Areas like the Southeastern United States and the Arabian Peninsula
may also be affected, the researchers said, adding that mountain areas
such as in Peruvian and Colombian Andes and regions such as Siberia
and southern Australia face a risk of climates disappearing
altogether.

That doesn't mean these regions would have no climate at all - rather
their climate would change and the conditions currently in these areas
would not occur elsewhere on Earth.

That would pose a risk to species living in those areas, Williams
observed.

If some regions develop new climates that don't now exist, that might
provide an opportunity for species that live there, Williams said.
"But we can't make a prediction because it's outside our current
experience and outside the experience of these species

In part of the US, but not the whole US, try checking
every day for the last year and see how many days had
colder "day of the year, or [date] LOWS.

Some year has to have a lot of new highs for
that day of the year, and there even has to be an
occasional "all time record high" for one location
or another because of the very short time that
temperatures have been recorded.

I am sure that 20,000 years a ago, where I am,
the temperature was 50 degrees colder, because
ice was a mile thick here, so I am sure it is warmer
now, but I have not seen any evidence that there
is an "upward trend".

Ask Eric to post a date where he found a lot
of record lows, he probably has them archived someplace.

Do you live on the Pole?

20K years ago a mile, or so, thick of ice? Hmmm , sounds like crazy
talk to me.

I AM SURE 20K years ago the weather where you are now was remarkably
similar to what it is right now. I'd wager +/- 5C at the most.

But don't let me stop the GlobalWarmingists..

So, you don't believe that there have been ice ages?

Yes, but I don't believe 20K years ago it was "a mile thick",
especially anywhere NEAR populated areas of today.

Perhaps quicker: How old do you think the earth is?

According to science, about 5 BILLION years.

Disappointed I didn't say 6,000?
