Climate Change: Getting Hotter and Hotter?

The above scrunched-down image is actually a table of the 20 hottest Junes out of the last 115 years of data available from the U.S. National Climatic Data Center (Click here for a Clearer Version).

If you will note, the hottest month of June, ever, was 1933; followed by 1918. The only 21st century Junes that made the top 20 list are 2002 (ranked 5th) and 2006 (ranked 6th). Nine of the top twenty hottest Junes are before 1936. 17 out of the 20 hottest Junes occur before 1990.

Now, I might be wrong but, if global warming is a result of increased carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and CO2 levels have been consistently rising every year for the last 115 years (according to the global warmists), shouldn't the top twenty hottest Junes be more heavily populated by dates later than 1989 (the last 20 years of June data)? Yet, there are only 4 years later than that date that appear on the top 20 list. That hardly shows a growing trend in rising temperatures due to global warming!

If you would like to replicate this listing or create lists for other month's of data over the last 115 years, you can do so by going to http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/cag3/na.html. Then simply select the month of the year you wish to analyze. Be sure to select "Table" and "Rank" before you hit the "Submit" button.
