Look what "Global Warming" is doing . . . . he said tongue in cheek.

Bitter cold records broken in Alaska – all time coldest record nearly broken, but Murphy’s Law intervenes

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Anthony Watts

im River, AK closed in on the all time record coldest temperature of -80°F set in 1971, which is not only the Alaska all-time record, but the record for the entire United States. Unfortunately, it seems the battery died in the weather station just at the critical moment.

While the continental USA has a mild winter and has set a number of high temperature records in the last week and pundits ponder whether they will be blaming the dreaded “global warming” for those temperatures, Alaska and Canada have been suffering through some of the coldest temperatures on record during the last week.

For example in  Circle Hot Springs, AK on Sunday, 29 Jan 2012    the HIGH temperature was a blistering -49°F, breaking the  -44°F record which has stood since 1917. It gets better.

That same day in Circle Hot Springs the low temperature was  -58°F   breaking the old record of  -52°F set  in 1941 by six degrees.

Here’s a list of temperature records in Alaska from the past week:

Brrr!

While all that was happening, the weather station in Jim River, AK closed in on the all time record coldest temperature of -80°F set in 1971. That’s not only the Alaska all-time record, but the record for the entire United States. Unfortunately, the weather station stopped reporting at -79°F.

Is there anyone STILL comfortable stating that we are in danger of the ice caps melting, the Polar bears drowning, and the coastal cities are going to be inundated?

If YOU are among those who would cry (that) warning then I hope you choke on your own CO2 exhaust fumes!
