"The (UAH) globally averaged temperature departure for December was
+0.28 C. As we all know, we are in the midst of a moderate El Nino,
which usually contributes to an overall increase in global
temperatures. So why did the temperature anomaly drop from a +0.50 in
November to the +0.28 in December as the El Nino Southern Oscillation
(ENSO) index slightly increased (meaning toward a stronger El Nino)? I
think a lot had to do with the extreme negative Arctic Oscillation (-
AO), which I blogged about yesterday."

I fully agree with Brett that AO is the culprit.

Paradigm-breaking leap in logic -

I say the meteorolgical signal is currently being
sent that we are starting at least 20 years of
global cooling.

See my 5-year analysis of global monthly temperatures Crunchy. There's
your "full comment", but it doesn't fit what you want to believe, so
you try desperately to ignore it, but it won't go away!!

Oh look, here it is again.......

**Analysis of the global monthly figures for the last 5 years.**

Over the last 60 months, back to Nov 2004:

56 months (93%) have been in the top 10 warmest for that month in the
last 130 years.

38 months (63%) have been in the top 5 warmest for that month in the
last 130 years.

18 months (30%) have been in the top 2 warmest for that month in the
last 130 years.

.........and someone is trying to say that GW is stalled.

Crunchy; after 5 years of these monthly figures, are you seriously
trying to tell us that ONE month's figures from one of 5 measures of
Global temperature actually tells us something about climate????
