    2009 2nd warmest year on record

    According to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the results for 2009 are in and 2009 is now ranked 2nd hottest year in over a decade, second to 2005



    According to the denialists. we are in a '11 year cooling trend'
    How can we be in a "11 year cooling trend" if we've just had the second warmest year on instrumental record?

    meanwhile, the Sun is at a solar minimum activity
    Spin that deniers....

    (oh yeah, sorry I forgot, scientists can't be trusted, we can only trust the Heartland Institute and the Heritage Foundation)
    oh and in case the deniers claim I 'refuse' to provide links to my sources, it's http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/
    Actual morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Religious morality is doing what you're told, regardless of if it's right.

    More rubbish from Akrasia the man who does not believe in cause and effect.

    Who can take any scientific data from such a person with any degree of seriousness.

    Fantastic news.
    Higher temperatures should mean lower home heating bills.
    With that extra money I'll be able to increase my standard of living.

    Never mind Akrasia, real science rests on the words of no-one.
    "But do 'climategate' revelations justify the sceptics’ claims that this is “the final nail in the coffin” of global warming theory? Not at all. They damage the credibility of three or four scientists. They raise questions about the integrity of one or perhaps two out of several hundred lines of evidence."

    I wonder if some people will become confused about this because there was some very cold weather at the end of the year....? In the Northern hemisphere that is, obviously - the rest of the planet did other things.

    It might be an attention span thing.

    You sure about that, I have just been talking to a friend in Australia and they say that their summer is one of the coldest yet! too cold for the beach some days.

    So the BBC have got it wrong and you are right?

    Speaking about attention span, would the BBC have as short an attention span as well?

    Not necessarily shorter than any other news outlet, I imagine. You appreciate that the "annual temperature" is an average for the whole year?
