If you really want to follow the global warming debate carefully you
will need this table. The table relates to this graphic. It shows
global temperature on a monthly basis. It shows an annual average as
well. Bless the honest climatologists at the Hadley Center at the British East Anglia University.
Last year's global temperature, 2006, was slightly below the previous year's, 2005, and exactly the same as the average for all the years since 1996. So we have had zero global warming for a decade.
Interestingly, peak years have been El Nino years. We are in an El Nino year now. No temperature rise.
How does that compare to the hysterical headlines we read every day?
