Would be interested in seeing the temperature curve from those "American weather satellites" if anybody knows where it is.

This chart shows the monthly temperature changes for the lower troposphere - Earth's atmosphere from the surface to 8 km, or 5 miles up. The temperature in this region is more strongly influenced by oceanic activity, particularly the "El Niño" and "La Niña" phenomena, which originate as changes in oceanic and atmospheric circulations in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The overall trend in the tropospheric data is now +0.08 deg. C/decade (through 2004). Click on the charts to get the numerical data.

Thanks, interesting how the global warming hysteria correlates with the recent warm spell...if we get a colder spell I wonder how the global warming prophets will explain it!

Solar activity and its effects on the Earth is primarily responsible for global warming. The mechanism is not yet known, but the mystery is becoming unraveled, finally.

Only God knows whether the juggernaut of the global warming alarmists can be turned around in time, though.
