NOAA: Coolest Winter Since 2001 for U.S., Globe
March 13, 2008
The average temperature across both the contiguous U.S. and the globe during climatological winter (December 2007-February 2008) was the coolest since 2001, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. In terms of winter precipitation, Pacific storms, bringing heavy precipitation to large parts of the West, produced high snowpack that will provide welcome runoff this spring.
In the contiguous United States, the average winter temperature was 33.2°F (0.6°C), which was 0.2°F (0.1°C) above the 20th century average – yet still ranks as the coolest since 2001. It was the 54th coolest winter since national records began in 1895.
Look at these graph!
We are in a cooling trend, at the same time our co2 output is increasing!
How is this possible???
World Temperatures according to the Hadley Center for Climate Prediction.
Note the steep drop over the last year.
Notice the far right of this graph...How can this be???
Check this one out!
So every 120,000 years we go through a warming peak, followed by a precipitous drop in temp.
It's about 100,000 years from the peak to the trough.
This is the time-frame of the temp-cycle were supposed to effect with our conventional light-bulbs?????
I'm sick to death of this.
Forget global warming: Welcome to the new Ice Age

Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.
The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average."
China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century. Temperatures in the normally balmy south were so low for so long that some middle-sized cities went days and even weeks without electricity because once power lines had toppled it was too cold or too icy to repair them.
There have been so many snow and ice storms in Ontario and Quebec in the past two months that the real estate market has felt the pinch as home buyers have stayed home rather than venturing out looking for new houses.
In just the first two weeks of February, Toronto received 70 cm of snow, smashing the record of 66.6 cm for the entire month set back in the pre-SUV, pre-Kyoto, pre-carbon footprint days of 1950.
And remember the Arctic Sea ice? The ice we were told so hysterically last fall had melted to its "lowest levels on record? Never mind that those records only date back as far as 1972 and that there is anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts in the past.

We're all going to freeze!
I'm lobbying for gov mandates that every American must run a combustion engine for at least 3 hrs/day to save us from global freezing.
To subsidize this earth saving strategy, we cut gas taxes by 70%.
This is money right into the pocket of the consumer, no need for it to go through the sticky walls of Congress.
Cut out the middle man.
This is what we do,
not only burn as much oil as possible, we burn wood to heat our homes, or just for the hell of it.
This is a two-fold benefit to combat Global Freezing.
1) Wood smoke contributes helpful greenhouse gasses.
2) This will help us thin out-of-control forests, which are co2-sucking monsters and combat the scourge of "forestation" and "Global Freezing".
Our planet goes through cycles, always has.
Now the left wants to tax us for it.
They should be able to find other avenues to punish Americans, besides the weather.
