You are five times more Likely to Drown in water than you would be if there was no ocean.

Another measure of global warming is that the signs of Spring arrive earlier each year. In England that is the bluebells. Only not this year.

In fact in the last few years the BBC seems to have dropped this campaign of every earlier signs of spring.
Of course they have because they looked out the window and realised their viewers would think this was a re-release of Monty Python. 🙂
Evidently, the underscore in “@ret_ward” stands for the letters “ard”.
@ret_ard who the hell cares?
Based on one alarmist paper: “Global increase in record-breaking monthly-mean temperatures”, by Dim Coumou, Alexander Robinson and Stefan Rahmstorf. Climatic Change, June 2013, Volume 118, Issue 3-4, pp 771-782. (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10584-012-0668-1?wt_mc=alerts.TOCjournals.10584).
“…The last decade has produced record-breaking heat waves in many parts of the world…”
All depends on your idea of “record breaking”.. That one from Marble Bar Australia still stands after almost 90 years (The town set a world record of most consecutive days of 100 °F or above, during a period of 160 days from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924).
If you set up lots of stations during or after the Ice Age scare of the 1960’s and 1970’s, it’s not all that hard to set heat records. Especially when there’s been massive development around these suburban airport stations. It’s also nice to avoid those nasty 1930’s and 1950’s, when it was much hotter.

Don’t you understand that Bob Ward is still right, that high temperature records are five times more frequent than if there were no global warming? Sure, you point out that low records have exceeded high records in an eight to one ratio, but that just proves his point. See, in a world without global warming, the ratio would be five times greater; it would be forty to one! It is just simple science!
In 2012, NOAA claimed there were 355 all time temperature records set.
Analysis shows that only two of these were new records at USHCN sites dating back to pre 1930.
(And bear in mind there are 1218 USHCN stations).
Nearly all the claimed “records” are either at sites with only a few years’ history, or unreliable airport/city sites (or, in most cases, both).
