January was warmest ever recorded in the whole planet

[antiimperialist]

The temperature of the world’s land and water combined — the most effective measurement — was 1.53 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal, breaking the old record by more than one-quarter of a degree. Ocean temperatures alone didn’t set a record.

1. the warmest JANUARY ever recorded...

was how i heard it.

[pitohui]

4. yes OP mistyped

it is indeed the warmest JANUARY not the warmest MONTH

if it was the warmest month we could just hang it up right now and party like it's 1999 because it would be all over but the shouting

5. Don't count that til Feb is over.

I remember days in the mid 70s in late February. It could still average out.

11. I can tell you that February 2004 was colder than Feb. 2007 so far

The only way February could be said to be making up for January is if it were found to be the warmest February recorded in the globe.

This month temperatures in the US have been -3.14 colder than normal.
But the first two weeks of Feb. 2004 were, in that order, -3.66 and -4.06.

8. Well, my friendly neighborhood Freep claims that it's only "because the sun is hotter than

it's been for a thousand years."

And I guar-on-TEE that Rush Limpballs claimed that, because that's where my friendly neighborhood Freep gets his opinions.

"Move on, folks, nothing to see here. No Global Warming, it's just that the Sun is hot. Move on, now, nothing to see here."

Amazingly enough, I didn't clock him for saying something that stupid. Gotta keep peace in the neighborhood, and all.

6. That's totally insane

The Northern Hemisphere gets the temperature swings... the Southern Hemisphere is pretty even, all things considered.

If it's truly the warmest month ever, just WAIT till the Northern Summer. :wow:
