We're already four days into June and the cooling trend seems to be continuing here in my region of NC...It's noticeably cooler this time of year than it's been over the past decade or two...Last summer and the summer before that was definitely cooler than previous summers and wetter too...This summer is following that trend, it is much cooler now than last year at this time, and definitely wetter again...Our low overnight temps dipping down into the upper forties and our high temps are in the mid to low 70s lately with the occasional spike of low to mid 80s...We're getting more rain with these cooler temps and those rain storms are coming from the east and northeast when typically those storms come from the west or southwest...In the past the high temps have been reaching the 90s by June and stay in the 90s until September...

Considering I used to be able to see all four seasons and get snow in Kentucky as a child Versus now Just Summer, Storms, Winter, and Storms, No Fall or Spring just storms. No snow either in Kentucky, Well, at least not like it used to be. I would say Global Warming. Also, I think the Polar Bears agree with me on this one.

Some regions are cooling whilst other regions are warming, which I think are natural climate changes occurring in natural cycles...One can look back decades and generations in the media and there are reports of cooling and warming trends which I think points to natural cycles of cooling and warming...

Scientists have said the earth goes through temperature changes all by it own. but "this is just my belief" all that plastic out in the ocean that made a literal garbage island. Could disrupt the natural flow of the sea currents which in turn would make winds change. Pumping oil deposits dry which where between us and Magma, would make things hotter. Not to mention those idiots and HAARP super heating our ionosphere with Basically a Giant Microwave Death Laser... I mean Humans as a species do get up to some Grade A Fuckatry... I do not believe Cow farts and burps are really the cause of anything except humans wanting a reason to stay stocked up on Double Quarter pounders with cheese.

You are one thousand percent right, but when people go on about global warming. It is not because they want to save this planet... They want to save them selves. Most of the time those same people are pushing for moving to Mars or to the Moon. Me, I would Hire the Homeless in California to go on boats and drag back the plastic, Then hire homeless for a factory that melts down that plastic and turns it into Portable Igloo like housing for the Other Homeless. Instead of spending the same amount of money it would take to do my idea, They are sending Tesla Cars into orbit. Global warming is a cash grab topic in Politics lets be honest. With as much money that has been donated to the cause since the 1980's and as many Scientists as they say studying it. They should have solved it in the las 40 years. Same with Cancer, money has been thrown at HeLa cell research for the last 72 years.

Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5305 km2 since 2009, with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area. Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade, whereas the steady-state approach would estimate substantial ice loss over the same period, demonstrating the importance of using time-variable calving flux observations to measure change.

what I am seeing in this chart is Ice being Ice, you know melting and refreezing creating new area's. I do notice in the western side, America's side, a lot of melting probably due to unstable Winds coming out of our garbage island's. All those Aquafina bottle's are getting filled with Water from the movie "The Water Boy" Bobby Boucher would be proud.

I think it's just Ice being Ice as usual, You know Melting and refreezing. During summer it melts, during winter it refreezes, which would make it expand over time. Some of it never refreezes though, Some of that cold water goes out into the Ocean and cools it. Between Cooling from both poles and trash disrupting tides, you get unstable winds. I hate to keep repeating how important our oceans are, It makes me sound like the uncool Justice League Member "Aquaman" im just in the background screaming "WHAT ABOUT THE WHALES!!!" at this point.

What About The Whales!!!... lmao, Yup. Now that you have seen how the winds effect the ocean, here is and article about how the ocean affects the winds.
Ocean tides can drag the atmosphere and cause tidal winds over broad continental shelves - Communications Earth & Environment
Ocean tides can drag along the atmosphere above and cause current-induced winds of up to 1.5 m/s while dissipating tidal energy, according to observations and high-resolution numerical simulations of ocean and atmospheric models in the English Channel.

It’s not climate change that’s causing heat waves this summer but no one wants to explain why
In the 1930s, the government's Heat Wave Index was four times higherEvery summer, heat waves inevitably hit the United States and other parts of the world, causing climate alarmists and left-leaning media outlets to demand dramatic, disastrous changes to the global energy system. Unfortunately, this summer is no different.
On Tuesday, U.S. media outlets published a wave of stories about supposedly "historic" heat waves in Europe and North America. For example, the Washington Post published an article titled "Heat waves in U.S., Europe ‘virtually impossible’ without climate change, study finds."
Similarly, Axios published a story titled "Historic and enduring U.S. heat wave, by the numbers."
Although certain parts of the United States have undoubtedly experienced strong heat waves this summer, there’s no reason to believe these weather events are evidence that the world is hurtling toward a climate change catastrophe. In fact, the best available evidence suggests that heat waves recorded a century ago were more problematic than anything we’re seeing today.
Government researchers have been tracking heat waves for more than 100 years. According to data from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, which is made available by the Environmental Protection Agency, the annual heat wave index for the contiguous 48 states was substantially higher in the 1930s than at any point in recent years. In some years in the 1930s, it was four times greater or even more.
Additionally, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a large database of daily temperatures that goes back to 1948. NOAA used 1,066 weather stations located across the United States to collect this data.
According to NOAA, huge swaths of the United States have experienced a significant decrease in abnormally hot days recorded since 1948, especially in the Midwest and northern and eastern Texas.
Although it’s true that some parts of the United States have seen the number of hotter-than-usual days increase over the past 70 years — including in California and the New York metropolitan area, both of which happen to be areas where a large number of media outlets are located — most weather stations have shown no meaningful changes or even declines.
Meteorologist Anthony Watts, who works with me as a senior fellow at The Heartland Institute, analyzed NOAA’s data in detail and found that 81% of the weather stations used in NOAA’s database reported that since 1948 there has been "either a decrease or no change in the number of unusually hot days."
If the available data so clearly reveal that there is no heat-wave crisis, why are media outlets suggesting the opposite is true? The answer is sloppy, irresponsible media reporting, combined with cherry-picked data.
Anyone who wants to show a long-term warming or cooling trend can do so by selectively choosing starting and ending points in datasets that will provide the answer you’re looking for.
For instance, if you start your examination of historic temperatures with figures collected in the 1970s, when temperatures were unusually low compared to the rest of the century, then current temperatures look abnormally high.
When many media outlets and left-wing politicians talk about climate change data, they almost always selectively choose a range that offers an incomplete picture of the larger available dataset. This makes it appear as though today’s temperatures are "historic" when they are actually well within normal historical ranges.
Another problem is that media outlets have been using temperature forecasts in their news reports as if those figures were actual temperature data. A forecast is, by definition, a guess, and some alarmist analysts have recently made a bad habit of incorrectly predicting insanely high temperatures that never come to fruition.
For example, the Telegraph, one of the largest papers in the United Kingdom, published an article on July 18 in which the author claimed, "The European Space Agency said thermometers could tip 48C in Sardinia and Sicily, while the temperatures in Rome and Madrid could both reach the mid to high-40Cs. In drought-stricken Spain, temperatures were set to reach highs of 44C in Catalonia."
If the available data so clearly reveal that there is no heat-wave crisis, why are media outlets suggesting the opposite is true? The answer is sloppy, irresponsible media reporting, combined with cherry-picked data.
None of these predictions came true. In fact, some of them were off by several degrees or more.
Heat waves happen every year, but this isn’t evidence that Americans are facing a global warming crisis. When heat-wave data are put into their proper historical context, it’s clear that everything humans are experiencing today has been witnessed in the past.
The ugly truth behind climate alarmism is that much of it is driven by a radical ideological agenda that is seeking to transform the global economy and American society, not by science. The best way to fight back against it is to use cold, hard facts. And those facts plainly show that there is no reason to panic about our ever-changing climate.
