This temperature update presents the NASA satellite measurements of monthly temperature anomalies—the difference between the observed values and the 1979–1998 mean values. Global satellite measurements are made from a series of orbiting platforms that sense the average temperature in various atmospheric layers. Here, we present the lowest level, which matches nearly perfectly with the mean temperatures measured by weather balloons in the layer between 5,000 and 28,000 feet. The satellite measurements are considered accurate to within 0.01°C and provide more uniform coverage of the entire globe than surface measurements, which tend to concentrate over land.

April 2003: The global average temperature departure was 0.14°C; the Northern Hemisphere temperature departure was 0.25°C; and the Southern Hemisphere departure was 0.03°C.

Below: Monthly satellite temperatures for the Northern Hemisphere (top) and Southern Hemisphere (bottom). Trend lines indicate statistically significant changes only.

In a report released Thursday, researchers at the Harvard Medical School's Center for Health and the Global Environment said the warming global climate is releasing more allergens into the air.

Most allergens are released by the rain forest.

Destroy the rain forest now!!! Do it for the children.

Yesterday, it was con trails. Today, it's asthma. Will this idiocy never stop? These "scientists" who are milking global warming for their own gain or to promote their own anti-capitalist views should be ashamed of themselves.

My opinion of scientists has gone down a whole bunch in the last few years, seeing how they treat new ideas that don't fit with their accepted dogma, and how they use the cover of science to promote political or social objectives, I find myself not trusting anything that comes out of the mouth of a "so-called" scientist.

Does anyone wonder why Canadians want Fox News. And conversely why the Canadian government is doing all it can to prevent their citizens from watching Fox?

Oh, I thought it was we asthmatics that were contributing to global warming.
