Was the Summer of 2012 Really the Hottest Summer on Record?

'The summer of 1936 had more than six times as many 110 degree readings as the summer of 2012 – which didn't rank in the top twenty for hot summer afternoons'

"We Are Creating Great Anxiety Without It Being Justified...there are no indications that the warming is so severe that we need to panic.

‘The warming we have had the last a 100 years is so small that if we didn’t have meteorologists and climatologists to measure it we wouldn’t have noticed it at all.’

The Earth appears to have cooling properties that exceed the previous thought ones, and that computer models are inadequate to try to foretell a chaotic object like the climate, where actual observation is the only way to go."
