The average of monthly global mean temperatures for 2007 makes it the hottest year. You can spin it anyway you like but the following NASA/NOAA data tells the story: Nov/Dec 2007 were only moderately cooler than the seven year average for the 2000s but they were significantly lower than those same months in 2003. Year Nov Dec J-D D-N DJF MAM JJA SON Year 2001 75 63 57 54 45 53 57 61 2001 2002 62 45 68 70 76 83 60 60 2002 2003 59 76 67 64 64 64 62 69 2003 2004 75 64 60 61 74 62 43 66 2004 2005 76 72 76 76 77 76 68 82 2005 2006 76 82 66 65 70 54 64 72 2006 2007 65 61 73 75 89 74 65 70 2007 2008 ******* ********* 43 54 54***** 2008 I Agree that 2008 is trending cooler (than the hotest years in the 2000s) but one year does not prove a cooling cycle exists. However I do seriously hope that it does continues long term. > Here is a link to an opposing view:< How can there be an opposing view?

Regards Craig As for our local temps, they correlate with the rest of the planet, which has clearly been cooling this year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
