This run of 192 months above the norm is the result of a warming
world. It is too large to occur by chance at any reasonable level
of confidence. A major volcano eruption, thermonuclear war, or
meteor impact could stop this warming trend for a couple of years,
otherwise expect it to continue.

More of Hansen's massaging of the figures to maintain the MYTH
There has been no major volcano eruption, thermonuclear war, or
meteor impact that has stoppped this warming trend for the last two
years.
How can you expect it to continue?

This report shows temperatures accelerating.

Global Cooling

December 23 2008



The world sure is coldening:



The first day of winter brought wind-chill warnings, snow and a bevy of
storms to cities across Canada on Sunday, potentially laying the groundwork
for the first cross-country white Christmas in nearly four decades.



It's even colder than last year:



Phillips said some parts of the country are seeing snowfall amounts that
have outpaced last year's record and near-record totals at this point in the
season.



Britain is shivering, too:



After the coldest start to December for more than 30 years, and with
snowfall seen in many parts of Britain as early as October, the bookmakers
could reap the dividends after taking a record number of bets on a white
Christmas.



Britain's Snowboard Club hasn't seen such snow in Europe in years:



It's now ten weeks since the first heavy snowfalls were reported in the Alps
and the snow is continuing to come down by the bucket load in many areas.



http://www.skiinfo.com reports that apart from the duration of the snowfall
obviously setting ski resorts up for a memorable season, what's also unusual
is that almost all of the world's major ski regions have received well above
average pre-season snowfall, usually one area will do better than another.
However this time almost everywhere has above average snow.



In Australia, the sodden Bureau of Meteorology can't find the drought Kevin
Rudd keeps talking about:



Above to very much above average November 2008 rainfall over much of
Australia largely cleared short-term rainfall deficiencies. For the 9-month
period from March to November 2008, above to very much above average
rainfall during November has resulted in a general easing of short-term
rainfall deficiencies. Rainfall deficiencies for the 18-month period from
June 2007 to November 2008 have also eased over large areas...



In Beijing they're freezing:



Winter truly arrived in Beijing yesterday with the highest temperature of
the day down to minus 8.8 ?. Media reports say it was "the coldest day in
December in the last 57 years."



They moaned about global warming, but now they're moaning even more about
the cold:



Bone-numbing cold spread Monday from the US Midwest to the East, forcing
millions to bundle up and scurry from place to place. Snowfall in northern
New England topped 40 inches in one town, and travel remained disrupted as
the days ticked town toward Christmas.



"It's so cold, it feels like needles are pricking my eyes," grumbled
19-year-old Ashley Sarpong of Chicago, a fur-lined hood pulled around her
face Sunday. "This is the coldest I've felt all year."



UPDATE

Dr Martin Hertzberg, a physical chemist and retired Navy meteorologist, sums
up the climate - both intellectual and physical:



As a scientist and lifelong liberal Democrat, I find the constant
regurgitation of the anecdotal, fear-mongering clap-trap about human-caused
global warming to be a disservice to science...From the El Nino year of 1998
until Jan., 2007, the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere near its
surface decreased some 0.25 C. From Jan. 2007 until the spring of 2008, it
dropped a whopping 0.75 C.
