From  The Washington DC Examiner 

Al Gore’s cinematic sermons on inconvenient truths to the contrary notwithstanding, it is becoming clearer by the day that major cracks are appearing in the supposed consensus among scientists that global warming caused by carbon emissions is an urgent problem that government must address with drastic measures. Among the most significant cracks are these:

- New data produced by more than 3,000 sophisticated ocean buoys scattered across the world’s oceans indicate average water temperatures have been decreasing since 2003, not increasing as would be the case in Gore’s globally warming world. NASA’s Josh Willis, who studies the output of the sophisticated buoys that take temperature readings from thousands of feet below the surface, says the significance of the new data is unclear.

- The average land temperature of the globe dropped precipitously last year, according to the Hadley Center for Climate Prediction. The temperature drop — more than enough to “wipe out most of the global warming of the past 100 years,” according to the online technology publication Daily Tech — was also recorded by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

- The severity of this global temperature drop was reflected in the fact the average U.S. temperature in January was lower than the average for the previous century, according to the U.S. Climactic Data Center. Also, the Canadian Ice Service reports the Arctic ice pack is 10 to 20 centimeters thicker in many places this year than it was in 2007.[italics and bolding added as emphasis]

Hey Al, Buoy were you wrong!

1 Bravo GM!!!  I might just have to link to this post mon ami!

2 So, the ice sheets at both poles melt at a highly advanced rate and the oceans cool down? Makes sense to me

3 Good try Jim... except as you read, the ice is ARTIC ice pack is 10-20 cm thicker... that is 4-9 INCHES thicker... so, you were saying?

4 In many places...over 1 year? What does that mean? Increased storm activity? I dunno, but I tend to pay a little more attention to more long term studies by NASA:

Anyway, we could argue this until cattle flatulence raises the mean temperature enough to wipe out all life on Earth (except for lizards), so I'll just ask you:
Why can't I paste url's to your website.

5 You can.  type in the reference, and to the right of the paint bucket above, you will see an chain icon.  Outline the word you want linked and then click on the chain icon.  It should allow for the words to link, just like I did that one.  Click on it and it will take you to a post on the editor functions above.

6 Oh, okay. I'm using firefox, though.

7 It works the SAME WAY (this too is on firefox)
