Oh, Oh. No Global Warming Last Year.

We've had snow in Baghdad, Jerusalem, and Athens. There has been some of the heaviest snow in North America in fifty years. Near record lows have been seen in many countries including Australia. Of course Global Warming is a settled issue. But in the last year we've experienced the largest drop in temperature ever recorded.

The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down. Source.

Although, as we have noted in the past charts can be misleading, they are still fun and useful to demonstrate a point. And since the Global Warming enthusiasts use them so much, here is one that doesn't look like global warming.


But this is not the only problem for Global Warming crowd. Remember how they claim the ice caps are melting? Well, the reality is just the opposite. In Antarctica it has been getting colder over the last 50 years. (Source). Further, the Antarctic ice sheet has more ice than normal for this time of year and the extent of the ice is more than one million square kilometers about the 28 year average despite it be summer. (Source). Still many web sites continue to report massive loss of ice, even though this appears not to be the case.
Hopefully, we are not headed into another ice age, which would be much worse than warming. In any case, Global Warming will not be over until Al Gore says so.
