#3 I just read the NOAA report this morning. Not one category listed 2007 as the warmest on record. I don't see how they are reading this thing to get that out of it. Maybe I wasn't holding my tongue right. It looks to me like 1998 was the warmest year on record??? But I'm not a government paid "climatologist" either. These guys cant even predict the weather for tomorrow with any degree of accuracy, what makes them think they can talk about the weather 50 years from now.

#5 ...in the latest worrisome report focusing on changing climate.

Yeah, if it wasn't "worrisome", do ya think we'd be hearing about it?

If you got your head in the frig and your ass in the stove, on the average, you're comfortable. :)

#7 Just liberal MSM spin. Warm in Europe, average in Asia, cold as hell in the US and southern hemisphere.

But we are doomed to global warming. Really.

Freakin' asshats.

#8 The media narrative is a mess but the fact of the matter is that at the surface in the very high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, this winter was anomalously warm.

Warm surface winters in the high lattitudes is what would be expected as CO2 in the atmosphere reduces the capacity of the lower atmosphere to radiate heat into the stratosphere (which by the way means that in a greenhouse world the stratosphere will cool).

Of course warmer winters in Siberia, Greenland and northern Canada aren't really something most people would consider an urgent issue.
