All I know is that it's been abnormally dry here for about 5 years, getting hotter each year, only had one rain with ANY runoff this year...and it didn't fill my stock tanks, which were bone dry. Guess it's only a problem if it's uncomfortable where YOU are....lots of uncomfortable people out there...fires, heat, windstorms, floods, drought....perhaps there is somewhere that it is "normal" weather, just haven't found the place yet..

If civilisation has been recording weather information for 1000 years, those statistics would still not be enough to indicate any trend as this would have to be compared against the millions of years of weather changes on earth. Its quite possible that both the Australian and American continents may have endured several thousand years of drought prior to White mans arrival and at a time prior to any co2 emissions caused by the 20th century industrialisation process blamed for increasing greenhouse gases.
It could also explain why the population of both our continents were relatively uninhabited prior to our arrival. The only nations which have seemed to have survived the longest appear to be the Chinese and their Indian neighbours proved by there being the highest populated regions and supported by the Himalayan Mountain snows.Three billion people in that region must give us some clues as to weather history against our paltry 24 million in Australia and whatever population in the USA now after only 200-300 years.
All comments welcomed.

It was another day of triple-digit heat across the Midwest Thursday, as the nation continued to bake in the intense heat of the record-breaking summer of 2012. Chicago hit 103ï½° on Thursday, just 2ï½° below the city's all-time hottest temperature of 105ï½°, set on July 24, 1934. The Windy City might have exceeded their all-time heat record, but for the fortuitous formation of a small but intense thunderstorm that hit the airport at 2:45 pm. The storm brought a wind gust of 52 mph to the airport and cooled the temperature by 20ï½°. A wind gust of 92 mph was recorded 4 miles offshore over Lake Michigan. Thursday was the hottest day in Chicago since a 104ï½° reading on July 13, 1995. Milwaukee, WI also hit 103ï½° Thursday, which tied for the 3rd hottest temperature in city history. Madison's 104ï½° was their hottest day since 1988, and also tied for the 3rd warmest temperature ever measured in the city. Madison's all-time high is 107ï½°, set July 14, 1936. St. Louis hit 105ï½°, the eighth consecutive day the city has hit triple digits. This streak is now the 3rd longest such streak in city history; the only longer streaks occurred during the Dust Bowl summer of 1936 (streaks of 13 and 9 days.) The current forecast for St. Louis calls for highs of 107 - 108ï½° Friday and Saturday, which will likely bring the city's streak of 100ï½°+ days to ten by week's end. St. Louis' all-time hottest temperature is 115ï½°, set in 1954.
"As AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Edwards explained to ABC News, the destructive weather that hit the Washington, D.C. area was caused by a rare occurence known as a "derecho," which forms "when an atmospheric disturbance lifts the warm air in regions experiencing intense heat, causing thunderstorms and hurricane-force winds to develop."
Dr. Jeff Masters writes on WunderBlog that "Friday's derecho was one of the largest and most destructive in U.S. history."
I'd like a derecho with my latté, please.

You gotta stick your nose little bit further from your outhouse. Last winter in Europe was deadly cold, does it mean anything? Not at all, same as the current heat wave in North America. Only idjits like gore followers take anything what happens as a prove of global warming.
They are quite comical in their effort too, something like playing a roulette where red wins the same time the black wins:
Too hot = global warming
Too cold = global warming

So we got more hot air here than in rest of world? I'm not surprised.
Lets see a show of hands of all the folks experiencing cooler than normal temps. We got to keep this in perspective. Isn't fair to only talk about all the heat records being set, melting ice, endangered wildlife, increased air pollution due to high temps and so forth. Lets hear from all the folks experiencing cooler than normal temps and keep this thing in perspective.

The Australian Climate Commission has warned that the world's sea levels could rise by 1m by the end of the century, much more than thought.
In its first report, the commission says the evidence that the planet is warming is stronger than ever.
It said that climate science was being attacked in the media by people with no credentials in the field.
