Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming
Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.
No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.
Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

This is a duplicate post. The previous poster did use the original title.
Remember, it is not “global warming” anymore, it is “climate change.” And it is still GW’s, captialism’s, and conservatives’ fault, and women and minorities are still hit hardest...
Yes, the cool periods were times of economic and social unrest.
One year does not an era make, however.
Does anybody have Al’s email address?
Al Gore chortles “suckers” as he reads the monthly statement from his accountants.

oops sorry for the double ping.
Here’s how Climate Change works.
One person says, “That’s hot.” They mean it’s good.
The other person says, “That’s cool.” They mean it’s good.
hot and cool both stand for the same thing in this case.
I read a litte bit about the “Little Ice Age” and what I take from it is that the average temps dropped 2-4 degrees....can that be correct..and if so, can that be that devastating?
As I sit here watching the snow pile up on top of the more than 6 feet of snow we’ve already gotten this year, not to mention the unprecedented glacial deposits from freezing rains, I daydream about Global Warming and wish that it were true.
Alas, it is not.
‘Tis true, however, that they’ve changed the name of the phenomenon to “Climate Change”, which is something that has happened in cycles throughout history.
This fact is an Inconvenient Truth to the tyrants who wish to impose upon us yet another tax accompanied by rationing of resources, to the which our overlords will have ample and constant access.
After all, they’re so important.
Right, Al?
oops......
Hey Al! The Committee is on the phone; they want their money back!
It can be quite devastating near the northern limits of cultivation. We’re talking about the areas in which certain crops can be grown moving south several hundred miles. We’re talking about growing seasons perhaps a month shorter.
Quite devastating indeed.
Cant be, statements like this offend Cult of Global Warming, the god of this cult Algore will be offended and he may declare jihad on all nonbelievers.
I’ll find out if you are correct. I sent this to a GW cultist. I’ll see what happens.
Ask people in central Florida how far south the citrus belt has moved in the last 20 years. What used to be vast orange groves along the Florida Turnpike north of Orlando now looks like a waste land. I doubt that is a result of the temperature going up.
All this can be easily explained as a consequent of global climate change. It’s simple. Climate change leads to changes in the climate.
See, all those CFL's and hybrid cars ARE making a difference!!! /s
That's a duplicate post. There was one just like it already. Kindly search for identical comments before posting. :)

Maybe Al Gore chortled twice, he might have more than one accountant because he’s made oodles of money with this garbage. ;)

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
And a poke in the eye with a sharp stick for Algore. OUCH....that hurts !!!
“Climate change leads to changes in the climate.”
WOW. And, I’ll bet changes in the climate leads to Climate change.
Maybe you should email THE TEAM about this. But I don’t think they will understand the concept.
bump & a ping
That's why I'm voting for change in Nov 2008.
someone needs to tell Sheryl Crow that she can start using more than one piece of toilet paper per visit.
I remember when the popular press switched from "climate change" to "global warming" in the 80s.
...and Baghdad's been around about 2,500 years!
Oh yeah?
Well, so what?
I’ll bet February will be hotter than January! And now watch - March is going to show even warmer temperatures.
There. See? Global warming is true - because July is gonna be hotter than even March is ....
/sarchasm - that gaping hole between a liberal and the truth.
I had *nothing* to do with this.

...well, except for moving back from Phoenix to Minneapolis last summer.
Cheers!
So all these carbon credits I bought are now worth the same as Confederate money?
Ping for your daughter’s paper on An Inconvenient Truth.
Do you think they’ll take Algores Nobel away from him and give it to Rush?
From NASA’s wensite LAST YEAR: - about the late start of the next solar cycle 24:
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/10may_longrange.htm
May 10, 2006: The Sun’s Great Conveyor Belt has slowed to a record-low crawl, according to research by NASA solar physicist David Hathaway. “It’s off the bottom of the charts,” he says. “This has important repercussions for future solar activity.”
see captionThe Great Conveyor Belt is a massive circulating current of fire (hot plasma) within the Sun. It has two branches, north and south, each taking about 40 years to perform one complete circuit. Researchers believe the turning of the belt controls the sunspot cycle, and that’s why the slowdown is important.
Right: The sun’s “Great Conveyor Belt” in profile.
“Normally, the conveyor belt moves about 1 meter per second—walking pace,” says Hathaway. “That’s how it has been since the late 19th century.” In recent years, however, the belt has decelerated to 0.75 m/s in the north and 0.35 m/s in the south. “We’ve never seen speeds so low.”
According to theory and observation, the speed of the belt foretells the intensity of sunspot activity ~20 years in the future. A slow belt means lower solar activity; a fast belt means stronger activity. The reasons for this are explained in the Science@NASA story Solar Storm Warning.
“The slowdown we see now means that Solar Cycle 25, peaking around the year 2022, could be one of the weakest in centuries,” says Hathaway.
Hmmmm. My truck has been parked all winter. Coldest winter in 100 years. I'm sorry!!! I didn't know! ;^)
“Does anybody have Al’s email address?”
Al is everywhere.
He invented the interwebs, ya know.
and with all these facts Global warming is widely accepted now and not even questioned. The left know that they can lie about ANYTHING and get away with it due to a moronic general public.
Especially now that we’re encouraging people via tax policy to burn food.
One that I presented it to fell back on “Well 1200 scientists and the IPCC can’t be wrong!”
Reality means nothing to these people.
So will the left shut up? No. Because there are political points to be gained in crying “global warming”.
Come summer, the announcement will be made that, despite the extra snowstorms around the world, this winter is the 2nd or 3rd warmest on record.
Al Gore is the tailor telling everyone that the Emperor's clothes are gorgeous when in fact, said Emperor has NO clothes.
Rattle on Al, you're sounding more ignorant by the hour...the climate changes are called S-E-A-S-O-N-S.
Anyway, the prospect of global cooling is not good news for the various secular messiahs.
