28,504 Low Max Records were set in last 365 days according to the NOAA.
A “Low Max” means that the maximum temperatures for the day was the lowest it has ever been.
This indicates daytime cooling.
Only 13205 High Max records were set. That is over a 2:1 ratio. Brrr.

What has happen to gobal warming???????
The AMO …
All we read about in the mainstream media is how the Arctic icepack is shrinking. They ignore the fact that the Antarctic icepack is growing, and temperatures are at record lows. ‘Reported warming applies only to surface (land-based) weather stations and is not seen in any other data set; the weather satellite data that measure atmospheric temperature show no significant trend — neither do proxy data (from analysis of tree rings, ocean/lake sediments, stalagmites, etc). It can therefore be argued that there has been no appreciable human-caused warming in the 20th century at all — and that the warming effects of rising GH-gas content of the atmosphere have been quite insignificant.’ -S. Fred Singer, professor emeritus at the University of Virginia and director of the Science and Environmental Policy Project.
Here is what the Arctic sea ice extent is doing now. It looks like anti-death spiral.

This year, like last year, the “Daily mean temperatures for the Arctic area north of the 80th northern parallel, plotted with daily climate values calculated from the period 1958-2002” is below average (so far).

What? Genuine “inconvenient” data recorded by a government agency? I am shocked!
Yet, earlier this week NASA said the opposite. Does NASA check their facts or just cherry pick them and word their releases VERY carefully?
Gee, maybe the AMO is driven by the Sun? UV is crashing. Total Solar output [measured by UV] is down from 2000 to July, 2014 by 2/3s [average under the curve].
Its hard to say what drives the AMO. I think UV is candidate. But we don’t have very good old UV data.

Are we on the cusp of the next grand minimum?
