So how do we have the coldest winter in six years? I would understand the coldest winter in 3 or 4 years, typical yearly fluctuations could create that, but to go back six years seems a little extreme.
Add to this the recent data that shows a 12 month trend of lower global temperatures and perhaps we are seeing the beginning of the end of the global warming scare.
One year or one winter may not be a trend, but it certainly could be the start of a trend.
BTW by most accounts 1998 was the hottest year on record. So not only have we gone nearly a decade without beating the record for hottest year, but we are starting to see downward temperature trends. This can?t not be good for the people who believe in GW.
BTW 2 if GW turns out to be a big mistake does Gore have to give back his Nobel prize?
I always thought that global warming meant exactly that, global warming.The average temperature across both the contiguous U.S. and the globe during December 2007-February 2008 (climatological boreal winter) was the coolest since 2001, according to scientists at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. In terms of winter precipitation, Pacific storms bringing heavy precipitation to large parts of the West produced high snowpack that will provide welcome runoff this spring.
U.S. Winter Temperature Highlights
In the contiguous United States, the average winter temperature was 33.2°F (0.6°C), which was 0.2°F (0.1°C) above the 20th century average - yet still ranks as the coolest since 2001. It was the 54th coolest winter since national records began in 1895.
