2012 was the warmest year ever for the U.S.

Wait... Didn't the warmers tell us a while back that one region of the world doesn't a cooling make, yet here we are supposed to come to some conclusion that I suspect supports their claim that humans are the cause of current climate change?
 
It's the new NOAA report out today.

yeah, I know... the one that lists the US has the 'contiguous 48' states, when referencing temps. Bad enough they try to make a story about 'global warming' by cherry picking one country, but to cherry pick parts of a country? Quite sad.

Would love to see their data on all the 'extreme storms', because that claim has been debunked many times in the past, so they clearly have new data to present. I can't wait.

funny how the title of the article indicates the US as a whole, but within the article we find out they mean the lower 48 states. Alaska (which shockingly was cooler and wetter) was not included in the 'warmest year ever recorded for US'. Shocking.
 
First, I apologize. I'm not usually one to start "gotcha" threads, but I saw the headline, and wondered what the reaction would be if I just posted what I saw, without commentary, opinion, any reference to AGW or anything.

The reaction is actually exactly what I thought it would be, but I'm still surprised by it, which is weird.

You do understand the meaning of contiguous right?
 
Unless they're comparing the contiguous states in 2012 to all states in prior years, I don't see the issue with not including Alaska (and Hawaii).
