2010: Warmest year on record

Source: USAToday

Two separate sources of temperature data – the National Climatic Data Center and NASA – report that, through April, 2010 is the warmest year ever recorded.

The climate center (NCDC) reports that the Earth's combined land and ocean average surface temperature from January-April was 56 degrees, which is 1.24 degrees above the 20th-century average.

El Nino -- a periodic natural warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean -- is partly to blame for the unusual warmth.

NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies also reports that 2010, so far, is the warmest out of 131 years. Both NCDC and NASA use data that goes back to 1880.

If there truly was global warming, would there still be ice in our ice cube trays? Fox says no!

Remember that El Nino and La Nina were at one time once in every 1,000 or 2,000 year

systems -- they are part of Global Warming now --

And I think this makes it now something like 10 or 12 years in a row being the warmest?

Why? Why not...might as well get some kicks in before this whole shithouse goes down.

But I can't go to the beach because it will be covered in oil.

:sarcasm:

and March, 2010 was the warmest on record, out of 131 years of global temperature records.

Q: Okay, maybe climate change isn't a hoax, but what can we do about it?

A: Not much. It's too late to avert the worst of it.

Q: Oh, so we should just enjoy the weather hoax?

A: Absolutely.

Q: What about the Gulf?

A: Enjoy that too, while you still can.

Last month, NASA issued a report that predicted 2010 would likely end up as the warmest year on record, due to the combintation of global warming and El Nino. The report states that "a new record global temperature, for the period with instrumental measurements, should be set within the next few months as the effects of the recent and current moderate El Nino continue."

"We Republibaggers DO NOT DO facts. Can't you American's get that through your thick skulls? Sheesh. Listen to me: Sit down, shut up, tune into Fox 'news,' and drink your kool aid ration like the good little RepubliTeabagger Sheeple do. We have WAYS of dealing with you fact-based thinkers, you deviants, you.

For example, President Clinton was a big liar too. In general, I've found it's not possible to trust a politician. I'm starting to think decentralized power and anarchy may be a better answer :-)

Thought I'd throw in a prototypical tea party parrot point for the hell of it.

...on the "hot" line...

If we not decrease our carbon, it will be the great problem to live in the world. Time is running out. Solve this, Its a great matter!
