The above is the map of temperature anomolies of the earth for April 2008. The temperature of the tropical regions were nearly a full degree colder than seasonal averages…the greatest departure since 1989. The US average temperature was 51 degree Farenheit or about a full degree below average. That is colder than the seasonal average throughout the 20th century and would be the 29th coldest April of the 20th Century. One interesting thing about the map though is that it would appear that Antarctica was decidedly warmer than average. Here’s the link to the raw numbers.
Raw Data For April Global Temperatures 2008
Here is a National Climactic Data Center Report from February concerning temperatures from Dec 2007 through Feb 2008
Winter 07/08 NCDC Climate Report
You decide for yourself what you think. While the data is conflicting with cold for Dec-Feb, Hot for March and Cold for April, did you see this prediction in Mr. Gore’s Oscar Winning Film? Does it fit his conclusion? Keep in mind that I believe March 2008 was one of the warmest on record world wide. Record Northern Hemisphere snow cover for January was followed by above average snow for February and then well below average Northern Hemisphere snow cover for March. I guess it all melted.
Here is the NCDC stuff from March followed by February.
Global warming is BS. Now they want to call it climate change, next it will be the Iceman cometh and you can bet your snowmobile that Gore will cash in! The Earth has cycles and we as humans have no clue whats in store as we’ve only kept records since the late 1800’s. Lets just make our own personal conclusions and turn a deaf ear to morons like Gore.
That would be fine except that politicians seem to have his ear as well as the United Nations. Right or wrong, that’s the way that they are going. The process appears to be flawed and that makes it difficult to find a conclusion with veracity.
