Hi RR, it's been real spring-like here in the Carolina Mountains, but it's 28 here this AM. We may get some snow next week as well. Some Guru (John Bollinger) said on CNBC yesterday afternoon that the Naz wad still trading about 88x earnings and that it would limp along down here at the bottom for. another 5 years. Did you get out of your QCOM calls? Hope you and Mrs. RR have a wonderful weekend. I think we are going to do some hiking around here somewhere today. Pinhi

Last Three Months Warmest on U.S. Record Books-NOAA Feb 21 2002 5:51PM WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The last three months were the warmest on U.S. record books, and January was the balmiest in the 123 years temperatures for the month have been recorded globally, government scientists said on Thursday. Green groups cast the report as still more evidence of human-caused global warming. "The results underline the need to start cutting pollution that scientists say is causing global warming," said Jon Coifman, a spokesman for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). A preliminary average of the nation's temperature measured from November 2001 to January 2002 was 4.3 degrees Fahrenheit above average temperatures gathered between 1895 and 2001, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the government's climate study arm. "Unusual warmth persisted across a large part of the contiguous United States during the past few months," said NOAA official Jay Lawrimore. The same monthly period in 1999-2000 held the previous record, NOAA said. The warmth stretched from western states like Montana and Oklahoma all the way to the East Coast. Also, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Massachusetts and Vermont saw the warmest November-January period on record, NOAA said. Abnormal warmth sent global temperatures in January seven degrees Fahrenheit above average in large parts of North America as well as in central Asia, it said. Average global land surface temperatures were 2.43 degrees Fahrenheit above the 1880-2001 long-term mean temperature, based on preliminary data, NOAA said. Globally, the November-January period was the second warmest on record, 1.03 degrees Fahrenheit above average, NOAA said. The recent findings come on top of a decade of record-setting global temperatures, NRDC said, pointing to a study by the National Academy of Sciences last year that warned that global warming could trigger "large, abrupt and unwelcome" climate changes. Last week, the Bush administration rolled out its plan to combat global warming, which relies on voluntary reporting measures and set a non-binding goal of reducing carbon dioxide emission growth relative to U.S. economic expansion. The plan took the place of mandatory cuts demanded in the Kyoto treaty which President Bush rejected last year as harmful to the U.S. economy.
