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?

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
