How do you reconcile the early snow in Minneapolis, ski resorts already opening in Nevada, and that August chill in North Dakota with expert warnings about a warming climate?
You don’t. Why? The Earth isn’t warming right now, is why. It may even be cooling down somewhat.
Five major climate centers around the world agree that average global temperatures have not risen in the past 11 years, according to the BBC. In fact, in eight of those years, global average temperatures(sic) dipped a tad.

It would useful if the five major centers involved
Reported their observations to the “daily press”–
Nine out of ten times (by rough estimate)
We’re told global- warming-induced climate change is already in progress.

And with dramatically different results, for example:
Food, famine & climate change: India’s scorched earth guardian.co.uk
No one had much idea why this had happened, and not many have heard the term “climate change”.

TIME
To experts who’ve tracked the effects of climate change, however, the flooding came as no surprise. In its fourth assessment report in 2007 .. (emphasis added)… CC) up to speed.

P.S. Of course, the CSMonitor (no email address available) may simply be reporting
Something reported elsewhere by folks (re: CC/GW) of like mind,
Who perhaps heard it from still another source similarly inclined–
All perhaps equally ignorant: “Blind leading the blind”.
___________

*Perhaps, based on the plural,
It’s not an overall average of observed local (daily) average (hi+lo/2) temperatures, after all,
But possibly a prevailing tendency (toward increase/stability/decrease) in ” ‘regional ‘ ‘averages’”
With due allowances for hemispheric differences in, for example, spring, summer, winter and fall.

Quien sabe. But we shouldn’t have to wonder about things like this!
