OK. Now let's talk about facts that have statistical relevance, instead of the anecdotal evidence that both of us just posted. Check the temperature anomaly map below. It shows that when Feb'09 is compared to the 1961-1990 baseline period, there were temperature anomalies across the globe. An anomaly is a statistically significant departure from a mean trend line. Some were cooler than the baseline and most were hotter. This is typical of climate change. The warming up across the globe is not uniform, but the global average temperature continues to increase over time. Feb'09 was yet another month of new records. Look at the US. Mostly much warmer than average. These are the kind of broad trends that we need to watch over the coming years to see if the trends change due to a coming cooling event that you talk about or if the upwards trends continue due to GHG increases that the GW folks talk about. greencarcongress.com
