warming or not, it’s still a lot of dirty pollution that is destroying ecosystems in other ways, so all you ego fat heads quit the fight over who’s right when it comes to air temp data and everyone get on the path to clean this garbage heap up.

“Hottest decade on record” would mean more if we had a few more decades recorded and if the world was 6,000 years old.

Same old summer photo-shopped pictures!

More Glo-Bull-Ist BS to extract Fraud Carbon Tax money, from what Glo-Bull-Ists think, are the dumbed down masses!

“It’s the sun stupid”, stick your Glo-Bull-Ist warming where the sun don’t shine!

Undeniable? Thats like saying unquestionable! What a crock of poop! “When has true Science or real Scientists ever said, “unquestionable or undeniable”?

Remember that the climate is an extremely complex system. Even though the average global temperature might be rising, localized areas will experience all sorts of anomalous conditions, which include unusual cold. The term “global warming” can be a bit of a misnomer. That’s why its better to think of it as climate change (overall, longterm change from what is normal) instead.

For instance, melting glaciers create large flows of fresh water which is less dense than salt water. In some areas, like the northern parts of the gulf stream, this can force some of the warmer salt water down and decrease temperatures for the adjacent atlantic coastline. So even though a particular area might be unusually cold, the root cause is an overall warming.

@m the National Geographic article linked above [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/07/100728-global-warming-noaa-climate-hottest-decade-science-environment/] shares the 10 most important of the 37 indicators in the study. Air temperature in the lower atmosphere, temperature over land, and temperature over the oceans are in there.

the problem is i dont see actual “air temperature” as being included in their study as one of the “biggies”.

In fact, the 2000′s, on average, were the coldest , and wetest decade here in Canada.

The “hottest” decade still remains the 1970′s with the 1950′s a very close second.

This just tells me that the climate gate maestros have gotten better at manipulating their data.
