    The world doesn't stop at the equator, you know.

    Climate scientist ranks right up there with used car salesman right now. Both seem more interested in selling us a bill of goods than exposing the truth.

    Here in Key West we have had a rather cold winter. The past 8 years or so saw a very mild temperature for this time of year here but this year has changed that.

    We can't trust the lot of you. You're upside down, and all of the blood rushes to your head.

    It's nothing surprising.
    Only among gullible people in the propaganda bubble. IIRC you posted this morass of malarky from the dailyexpress, for example - I think you even believed it:
    We've got people with a source like that using it to argue against "climate scientists". That's a joke, as long as it does little damage.

    That must be it. :3

    To everybody else... You are aware that while it's winter in the northern hemisphere, it's summer in the southern? Right?

    And that global average temperatures include those in the southern hemispehere... Right?

    You wouldn't be from Terra Australis Incognita, would you?

    That all depends on how you relate the concept to the modern world. Where I live was, at one point, part of Terra Australis Incognita, yes.

    It's a symptom of hemispheric arrogance. Just like every globe you see; the northern hemisphere is on top, the southern is on the bottom. On every scifi television show and movie, the Earth is always oriented that way. What difference would it make if the southern hemisphere were facing "up"? For that matter, why would an orbit aligned with the equator be preferred? Why not a polar orbit? Is anything other than an equatorial orbit considered bad manners? An interstellar gaffe, and the potential cause of interstellar war?

    Quite right, one of the reasons I much prefer to use McArthurs Universal Corrective Map of the World.

    Well I know in the States there was increased cloud cover and more rain - which meant more latent heat exchange. By pure intuition I would guess that the majority of the Southern Hemisphere saw more "Sunny Days" this Northern-winter than in the past. The majority of the sea surface variation for the positive was in the southern hemisphere as well....and if you consider that they're saying: "This is the warmest January on record using Satellites when compared with climate data going back to 1850" and I think Satellite data extends back to maybe* 1970...they're kind of being dishonest. That is, since a great deal of this warming would have occurred in the ocean.

    Should temperatures below the equator even matter when most of the world's food comes from the Northern Hemisphere? If this 'go green' thing stops global warming and the sun starts a cool cycle humanity could be in a world of hurt if Iowa is covered in snow come August.

    Yes the AGW Orthodoxy that Man is the Sinner and the True Believes in the Theology of AGW, can save us from our ecological sins, just send them the money and they will save us from ourselves and make a Paradise for all the forgiven sinners who renounce their earth warming ways, sounds a lot like some other Theologians with a True Orthodoxy that will save the sinners just send the money;

    How about Jimmy Baker.....Jimmy Swaggart....Marjoe Gortner.....all of those True Believers that if you sent them your money would save you from your self, while they became rich.

    Sound a lot like Algore doesn't it.....and much of the rest of the AGW Orthodox believers whose livelihood rest on money extorted from us through the government, in grants for their life styles.

    Yes, January 2010 the Warmest ever???? :roflmao:

    All of which (with one exception) are for the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.

    The world does not end at the Equator.

    The one exception is an article talking about Antarctica.

    Although, I think it's particularly amusing that:

    Exactly Trippy, so across the world this January isn't the warmest on record now is it? yes,
    you are playing from the
    Jones CRU set of rules, ignore any data that doesn't agree with your preconceived conclusion,
    and tweak the rest.

    What I know to be fact is that here in western PA we just had the snowiest Feb on record and have moved to the number 3 spot on the season list with a least a month to go. We did not see an average high temp all month. I am tired of cold and snowy and do not want to hear the words global warming again until it atleast gets back to average highs.

    Well here in Ont Canada we have had the most mild winter, I can remember in a long time.
    We barely got any snow, and what little we did melted quickly. We didn't even get that stretch of -20/-30 weather this yr. We sent everything over to the US this yr and we beat their ass at Hockey too!
