Do you know what adiabatic lapse rate is?

It is simple. rising air cools as it rises (Boyle's law) and warms as it comes down. It cools more slowly if it is full of moisture as it rises and it warms more quickly as it descends if it is dry. In Alberta we call it a Chinook. In Europe they call it Foehn. It happens where ever there is mountains and moist winds. Even in Antarctica. For those who may not know there was unusually warm readings at one weather station in Antarctica. Global warming? Nope just a chinook/foehn condition. Too Funny!!! And silly people fell for the scam again.

Good to know that rising air warms as it comes down. 馃槣

Seriously though, good observation.

@SinlessOnslaught Sadly the propaganda ignored that fact and what's more it also ignored the fact that 1983 had an even higher recorded temperature at the same weather station. Not that the AGW crowd is going to tell you. They have an uneducated mass to fool into think they are all sciencey and stuff.

@hippyjoe1955 They don鈥檛 think for themselves like you. They see things at surface level and react immediately. e.g. the media.
