It's official, the combined global land/ocean surface temperature for 2007 was the fifth warmest on record, according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center. Also, 2007 was the tenth warmest on record for the contiguous U.S..

--Global land surface temperature was the warmest on record.

Warmists will love this.

Whoa, hold on a second: that means that 2007 was cooler than other previous warmer years...

[Rick.Donaldson]

Wait a minute...

There were five different 2007s?

Oh, I’m kicking some time traveler’s ass for this....

I hate temporal loops damnit

So what....1934 was the hottest on record for the continental US and was also probably the driest year ever recorded and yet things cooled down during the 1940’s. The only global warming is in Al Gore’s hot air.

[ontap]

Of it was, considering how the damn thermometers were purposely put in parking lots. The whole damn thing is ridiculous.

[Ingtar]

... contradicting what NASA already reported from the same data.

[Disturbin]

This was one of the colder warm 2007s in recent records in Massachusetts. We had snow by the boatload!

...1934 was the hottest on record for the continental US and was also probably the driest year ever recorded...

So does that mean putting more vehicles on the road and allowing the cows to flatulate unchecked helped cool things down in 1935?

When you use measurements obtained exclusively in heat-island city centers and compare them with past results taken in less developed and more rural (colder) locations, the results are going to appear to confirm “warming” when in fact, what they confirm is a purposeful change in result due to methodological manipulation.

We’ve got blowing snow (winds whipping by at a constant 30 mph and gusts as high as 55-60 right now) here in Colorado. Snow on and off. Drifts will probably happen, and it’s dadblamed COLD here.

I heard that we’re hitting as low as 15 below zero F right now, with wind chills (it’s been colder in Colorado in recent years, but damn.. it’s JUST COLD today) haha

Personally I like the idea of the earth getting warmer. Longer growing seasons, less fossil fuel dependence, summer clothes are way cuter than winter clothes, more fresh water.
If the north east really does flood, well we could use a few less nor-eastern liberals anyway.

The Earth is several billion years old. "Records" go back only a couple hundred years. Accurate records go back 50? years. The last 50 years out of four billion ... yeah, that makes it easy to spot a trend.

When you use measurements obtained exclusively by thousands of sophisticated weather buoys, stations and satellites, assisted by powerful, number crunching supercomputers, none which existed a generation ago, and then you compare that data with data based upon infrequent and sometimes anecdotal human observations, then you are bound to obtain results that say anything you want them to say.

This is hilarious. On their own site, in their own pol! 88% of responders are "Skeptics" or "Deniers". Notice how they fail to mention "Skeptics" in the bold section.

Tuesday, January 15, 2008 Initial Poll Results "I took a poll of the responses from the previous blog just for fun. This is clearly not a scientific poll and far from it! Keep in mind the polls are still open. Here's a running count.......... Wednesday morning update, looks like AGW has nudged ahead of the deniers. Polls will close this evening.

Skeptics.................69 votes........77%

AGW Proponents.....11 votes.........12%

Deniers....................10 votes.........11%

Apathetics................0 votes......... 0%

Second place still undecided...

[Brad from Tennessee]

. . .there are four groups within this debate, and they are listed below.....

1. The Apathetic group

2. The Deniers

3. AGW Proponents (Anthropogenic or Man-made Global warming)

4. The Skeptic

The fact that those who doubt AGW would be classed as “deniers”—as in the neurotic defense mechanism of “denial” or “Holocaust deniers”—while those who embrace AGW are “proponents” illustrates how biased Accuweather is.

"So does that mean putting more vehicles on the road and allowing the cows to flatulate unchecked helped cool things down in 1935?"

I think it means that vehicles have nothing to do with the so-called "global warming", and no cow on earth is a bigger gas bag than Al Gore.

[UCANSEE2]

I though AGW stood for Al Gore Whores.

Bahgdad is very cold now and there was snow last Friday for the first time in memory.

I wonder if that's all because of global warming?
