Wondering where things stand on global warming? Let's go to the science of it. And by "science" I mean physical observations. Nothing complicated. What do thermometers say? What's happening with polar ice caps? And carbon dioxide?

In the following analysis I use publicly available data as provided by government scientists at places like NASA, the U.K. Met office, and NOAA. This is the data we're told to use and trust. I'm using it and trusting it.

Measured Temperatures. The two charts below show recent global temperatures (NASA/GISS data) in units of hundredths of a degree above the 1951-1980 average. The lines are linear regression trends for the extent shown. March 2012 was the most recent month of data at the time of writing.

Based on NASA/GISS data going back to 1880:

The trend of annual mean temperatures since 1880 is warming of 0.59 degrees Celsius per century. The trend over the last nine years (since 2002) is one of cooling. There has been no statistically significant (at 95% confidence level) warming in 14 years (since 1997). The trend in March temperatures for the last 12 years (since 2000) is one of cooling. There has been no statistically significant warming in March for 17 years (since 1995). March 2012 was the coolest March in 13 years (since 1999).

Anthropogenic global cooling will surely kill us all.

The New Hampshire GOP is a STUPID party indeed! They can't evem play checkers. IMHO, they had veto override margins in both houses. All they had to do was look at the laws already on the books in Alaska, Arizona and Wyoming for Constitutinal carry, and then appoint a commission from each house on the bare minimum of provisions for a basic Constitutinal carry bill that can override any veto. They chose to make the good the enemy of the perfect.

All of the other provisions that would improve the bill are added to must pass legislation like the Coburn Amendment was later.

Good God! ... You just gave me a flashback to the 70's and I never even took drugs!!!

We've got Ian "Fudge Factor" Harris at the University of East Anglia working on that.

Thanks for the ping!

Not sure how its relevant but thanks anyway. ;-)

Air Pollution from the Muscle Cars 'unrestricted' exhaust systems contributing to the so-called Greenhouse Effect. Not to mention the Hi Octane Leaded Gasoline they needed and the 'poisons'(/s) that emitted into the atmosphere.

By right, all us 'old guys' should all be dead from breathing that stuff. That's what AlBore would say anyway ;-)
