July 1936 Heat Records Crushed Cold Records 19 To 1 | Real Science
Romm and Masters keep touting the ratio of record maximums to record minimums this summer, but their numbers are both lower than 1936, and hugely skewed by a large number of newer stations which had no records from the 1930s. Not to mention UHI – which keeps recent nighttime temperatures up.

'A sudden increase in extreme weather events': the new Big Lie – Telegraph Blogs
The Warmists are getting desperate. Their attempt to make much of the Muller non-story backfired horribly. Their yarn about melting Greenland turned out to be ludicrously overdone. Then, of course, there was Watts et al's paper showing that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – the US government department responsible for keeping tabs on America's temperature data – has been fiddling the data so as to exaggerate late 20th-century warming by 100 per cent.

So what ingenious ruse have the Warmists alighted upon to disguise the awkward fact that they are losing every important scientific argument going? Simple: they've now decided that whenever the weather does anything extreme anywhere in the world, it's another sign of Climate Change.

[Dr. Jonathan Fielding, head of L.A. County’s health department] identified two tropical diseases: dengue fever, carried by mosquitos, and Chagas disease, spread by the blood-sucking “kissing bug.” Fielding said they aren’t a threat to California — yet.

"But I wouldn't be surprised to see those problems emerge in the next few years," he adds.
