NASA & RealClimate.org’s Gavin Schmidt: Remember when the U.S. was cold, & I told you that U.S. temps weren’t meaningful? Now that U.S. was warm, I just remembered that U.S. temps *are* meaningful
Flashback 2010: Gavin Schmidt during continental U.S. cooler times: 'Keep in mind that that the contiguous United States represents just 1.5 percent of Earth's surface'
Flashback: 2009: NASA's James Hansen: 'Of course, the contiguous 48 states cover only 1.5 percent of the world area, so the U.S. temperature does not affect the global temperature much'
