April 2008 was the coldest April in 11 years. April also ranked the 29th coldest since record keeping began 114 years ago.
According to the National Climatic Data Center, the U.S. average temperature for the month was only 51 degrees, which is 1 degree below the average from 1901-2000.
Along with those colder than normal temperatures, April 2008 was dry - the 54th driest on record.
I don’t know about cool...
I’d probably describe it as groovy
On the Yahoo Answers board, the leftists are already responding to this with “But the US temps aren’t GLOBAL temps...this is GLOBAL warming.”
These people are hilarious.
Simple explanation: Global cooling is hiding global warming.
Bush’s fault.
Of course this is explained by global warming theory.
In fact, everything is explained by GWT.
Astrology, crystal balls, palm reading; You name it and GWT surpasses them all.
While they continue to ignore the fact that most of the entire northern hemisphere had a MUCH colder than normal winter.
No no no.... Northern Hemisphere temps are not GLOBAL temps.....this is GLOBAL warming.
Inconvenient fact.
It’s something of a stretch to say that 29th out of 114 is one of the coldest ever. ‘Specially since there may have been a lot of colder and warmer ones prior to 1895.
They conveniently ignore the fact that it was those same U.S. figures that “proved” global warming.
I just happened to look at my energy bill last night and it had a chart that shows how much gas/electricity you used for the current month last year compared to this year so you know if you used more or less. It also shows the average temperature for the same (April 2007 vs. April 2008). I live in Western WA. State and the average in April 2007 was 48 degrees. The average this year was 41 degrees!!! I would usually see a zero or one degree difference, but 7 degrees, that is HUGH!!!
Dang, it would have been even COLDER without that Globull Warming trend we’ve heard so much about.

Reminder
This Sunday on C-Span 2:
I suppose it would do no good to point out to them that it is winter in only one hemisphere at a time.
