Hot News: Global Warming Ends

From Daily Tech:

But now, that evidence [of global cooling] has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change every recorded, either up or down.

We've been covering this winter's wicked cold for a while now. Not only has Antarctic sea ice reached record levels over the last few years, much to the chagrin of Al Gore, but Arctic sea ice has made a remarkable comeback from last summer's record melt. It is covering a larger area, and it is 10-20 cm thicker, than in recent years. And there's a reason--it's cold outside.

Of course, it's not a consensus until Laurie David delivers her full report.
