The pace of global warming continues unabated, scientists said on Thursday, despite images of Europe crippled by a deep freeze and parts of the United States blasted by blizzards.
The bitter cold, with more intense winter weather forecast for March in parts of the United States, have led some to question if global warming has stalled.
Understanding the overall trend is crucial for estimating consumption of energy supplies, such as demand for winter heating oil in the U.S. northeast, and impacts on agricultural production.
"It's not warming the same everywhere but it is really quite challenging to find places that haven't warmed in the past 50 years," veteran Australian climate scientist Neville Nicholls told an online climate science media briefing.
"January, according to satellite (data), was the hottest January we've ever seen," said Nicholls of Monash University's School of Geography and Environmental Science in Melbourne.

Hottest January? Look, people know lies when they hear them. I’ll bet 90% of the lower 48 had below average temps in January.
31/32 IN VOLUSIA COUNTY FLORIDA THIS MORNING...we have had the longest cold spells here that we have seen in years....i guess my eyes and skin freezing are lieing to me....
Hide the Decline!

Ping.
Take a look at those temperature readings and if all the readings approximate 98.6 F, you’ll know where they keep their temperature sensors and their heads as well.
How would they know? They researchers lost all of the un-adjusted core temperature data.
Meanwhile, Florida experiences it’s first serial hard freezes in the millennium. Say, these scientists wouldn’t happen to reside in ... Hades ... would they?
January 2.5 degrees below normal, February 6.7 degrees below normal IMBY.
These “Scientists” are as blind as bats.
January was the hottest month ever?! As in, since the beginning of time or even prior to that!?
This winter, here in Floridia, I bought a ski jacket, a gore tex jacket, gore tex gloves, new slippers, and silk thermal underwear just to try and stay warm.
Oh and then it snowed.
LoL @ scientists.
I wonder what the northeast is thinking today as they experience another blast of hot February weather.
In Melbourne perhaps, where it is the equivalent of our August right now!

Extreme winter a disaster for Mongolia

You jerks in Prius’s are freezing the planet.
Just two words: IN - SANE.
I believe you mean 99.6. Rectal temperatures are a degree higher.
