New scientific studies suggest a trend that may have started in the late 1990s. The earth may be cooling.
The Hadley Centre for Climate Change, part of the UK Met Office, tracks global temperature and shows a big drop in global temperature anomalies since January 2007. Based on the HadCRUT3 system of observed temperatures, global surface temperature anomalies have been trending down since 2001. January 2008 had the coldest anomaly since 1995.
Temperature anomaly is the difference between observed temperature and the average temperature for the same time over a period of years.
Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the HadCRUT3 temperature grids to make this intriguing plot of trends since 1988. Note the large drop in global temperature anomaly over the past year
Closer to home, Dr John Christy of the University of Alabama, Huntsville, uses NASA data to track global temperatures. His latest report suggests that compared to seasonal norms, January 2008 was the coldest month since July 2006 and the coldest January since 2000.
Anecdotal evidence of the cooling trend is noted by record season snowfall totals and low temperatures over large portions of the northern Hemisphere. Please visit the NOAA Climate website for more information.
Even if it were man caused, WHICH IT ISN'T. Now is not the time to address it. Without an economy, nothing else really matters. You don't burn the forrest down to save the trees. obama has screwed the economy royally and cap and tax could be the death knell. He is in so far over his head it is laughable. That is actually the reason he had intended to ask elementary school kids for advice in his sermon this morning, many of them have run lemonade stands and have more business experience than he does. Have you noticed that all he does is jump from one area of incompetence to the next without resolution all the while reveling in the chaos he is creating but never solving a single problem.

That's kewl wishing death to people for what they think ........
"That's kewl wishing death to people for what they think ........"
While the denier crowd will blissfully ignore the the suffering and untimely death of untold millions due to loss of habitable and arable coastal land as sea level rises...
...as the increase in desertification and additional loss of arable land in continental interiors takes away any chance for those inhabitants to scratch out an existence..
..as sickness and death result from the introduction of tropical diseases into higher latitudes that have never experienced these diseases before, all due to the march of warmer climes north and south of the equator....
...as populations that depend on the oceans as a food source dwindle due the the disruption and potential collapse of a good part of the ocean's food chain due to increasing acidification of the ocean...
...no the denier crowd would never wish death for what they think.....even though the above scenarios are what will eventually play out due to their dismissal of the facts staring them in the face.
You can't be serious.
Is it a mere coincidence that those you believe trickle down economics works are the same as those denying global warming? 
Sooner--you're a real smart dude, but c'mon, I mean even the village idiot (by the way, that is my next screen name if I ever get banned) knows that every poison is an essential item in measured quantities.
