Texas Cold’em

(Sorry, I could not resist the pun).

As a complement to my previous post January U.S. Temperature – 9.74 F cooler than the warmest January I thought it would be interesting to look at large state, in this case Texas, the second largest state with an area of 695,621 km² (268,580.82 sq mi).

Texas is bigger than France, Afghanistan, and Ukraine etc. And is double the size of Germany.

As I always point out:

And remember, these are the official figures. With the poor placement of stations (91 % of the stations are CRN 3 to 5 = bad to very poor); where they have purposely taken away the urban heat island effect, use huge smoothing radius, the historical “adjustment and tweaking” to cool the past etc.

Not to mention the great slaughter of GHCN stations 1990-1993 – roughly 63 % of all stations were “dropped”. Oddly enough many of them in cold places – Hmmm? Now the number of GHCN stations are back at the same numbers as in 1890.

Also remember that the US stations are now nearly a third of the all GHCN world stations.

Texas January temperature 1900-2011

This year, the January temperature is – 10.3 F cooler than 1923, the warmest January. And if we compare this year’s January with 1998 it is – 5.9 F cooler.

If we compare with1952 this year’s January is – 9.1 F cooler. And if we compare with 1911 is – 9.3 F cooler

This January is – 1.58 F degrees cooler than the average for 1900-2011.

And the “warming trend” 1900-2011 is exactly – 0.14 F degrees a decade.

And notice the dramatic drop from 2006 to 2007. A drop of – 10.1 F degrees.

That’s what I call RAPID WARMING and an eminent treat to humankind!

Texas recent 3 months (Nov-Jan) 1900-2011

This year, the Nov – Jan temperature is – 5 F cooler than 1923, the warmest Nov – Jan. And if we compare this year’s Nov – Jan with 1907 and 1934 it is – 3.7 F cooler.

If we compare with 2006 this year’s is – 2.7 F cooler. And if we compare with 2000 it is – 3 F cooler

This recent 3 months is nearly exactly as the average for 1900-2011.

And the “warming trend” 1900-2011 is exactly – 0.06 F degrees a decade.

Texas recent 12 months (Feb-Jan) 1900-2011

This year, the Feb – Jan temperature is – 5 F cooler than 1923, the warmest Feb – Jan. And if we compare this year’s Feb – Jan with 1907 and 1934 it is – 3.7 F cooler.

If we compare with2006 this year’s January is – 2.7 F cooler. And if we compare with 2000 is – 3 F cooler

This recent 12months is – 0.09 F degrees cooler than the average for 1900-2011.

And the “warming trend” 1900-2011 is exactly – 0.01 F degrees a decade.

Notice how the “warming” increases:

The January “warming trend” 1900-2011 is exactly – 0.14 F degrees a decade.

The Nov – Jan “warming trend” 1900-2011 is exactly – 0.06 F degrees a decade.

The Feb – Jan “warming trend” 1900-2011 is exactly – 0.01 F degrees a decade.

That is truly “Global Warming” Texas style.
