NASA Research Finds 2010 Tied for Warmest Year on Record
January 12, 2011
Global surface temperatures in 2010 tied 2005 as the warmest on record, according to an analysis released Wednesday by researchers at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.
The two years differed by less than 0.018 degrees Fahrenheit. The difference is smaller than the uncertainty in comparing the temperatures of recent years, putting them into a statistical tie. In the new analysis, the next warmest years are 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2009, which are statistically tied for third warmest year. The GISS records begin in 1880.
The analysis found 2010 approximately 1.34°F warmer than the average global surface temperature from 1951 to 1980. To measure climate change, scientists look at long-term trends. The temperature trend, including data from 2010, shows the climate has warmed by approximately 0.36°F per decade since the late 1970s.
"If the warming trend continues, as is expected, if greenhouse gases continue to increase, the 2010 record will not stand for long," said James Hansen, the director of GISS.

Evidence of what?

Man made global warming is a fact acknowledged by all but the lunatic global warming/evolution denial fringe but this year's statistics are relatively meaningless. The statistics for any given year are not meaningful evidence of the fact of man made global warming. If 2011 turns out to be a record cold year that will not be a meaningful indicator either.

http://69.16.184.196:80/g9z6c6z5/cds...250881e44ca8e8More than 1,000 dissenting scientists (updates previous 700 scientist report) from around the globe have now challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 2010 321-page Climate Depot Special Report -- updated from the 2007 groundbreaking U.S. Senate Report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming ―consensus‖ -- features the skeptical voices of over 1,000 international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC. This updated 2010 report includes a dramatic increase of over 300 additional (and growing) scientists and climate researchers since the last update in March 2009. This report's release coincides with the 2010 UN global warming summit in being held in Cancun.
The current rate is about 4 scientist/week publicly coming out against it.

So, what are the records for the decades they had successful farming communities in Greenland in pre-modern times? Not nay-saying but pointing out we could still be working with limited and incomplete data and many are often certainly leaping to conclusions of doom and gloom that may indeed be "out there" a fair bit.

The scientific debate over man made global warming and evolution is over. Only the loony right and some people who profit by polluting still fight either battle. And that's almost exclusively in the popular press - not the scientific literature.

It just means Britain are one year closer to growing grapes again, like the Romans did.
In any event, the answer is still not socialism.
Vice President
LOL that's funny - there are still people who think socialism isn't an accomplished fact. When a right wing president bails out wall st with tax dollars, the fight is over, socialism is already our de facto political and economic system. Granted it's a twisted form of socialism where profits are still private but risk is socialized - but it's socialism alright.

You are completely correct, one year does not indicate climate change. However, so often there are post such as, "A record cold Winter here or there" proves global warming is a hoax, etc. and so on.
Some voice of reason must answer all the hyperbola that is brought up to confuse the issue.

May I be so bold as to correct your post.
Only the loony right, bought by millions of dollars from those that profit by polluting, still fight either battle.

how much does Goire make from his GREEN companies, and how many billions have been spend on GREEN projetcs?
So hrmm umm we are talking about a statistical insignificant number and saying with certainty its correct.The two years differed by less than 0.018 degrees Fahrenheit. The difference is smaller than the uncertainty in comparing the temperatures of recent years, putting them into a statistical tie.
hrmm so when teh earth was covered in lava it was colder on it then in 2010? Are we really sure?
When Greenland was actually GREEN it was colder then 2010?
wierd..
Are vital U.S. interests more imperiled by what happens in Iraq where were have 50,000 troops, or Afghanistan where we have 100,000, or South Korea where we have 28,000 -- or by what is happening on our border with Mexico?...What does it profit America if we save Anbar and lose Arizona?

Whats comical is that after tinkering with it for 30 years through politically correct lending, and seeing that it resulted in the Great Reccesion, people think we need more of it.

That is what this is all about... leftists coming up with a new way to gain money, power and score with chicks that wouldn't pay them any attention otherwise.
AGW = 100% made up bullshit
BTW: which one of you guys are going to come over and get all that 'Global Warming' off my driveway? Better hurry it up... we'll supposed to get more this weekend.

Part of what makes this so remarkable is that we have been in a period of very low solar activity.

Also, 2010 is the wettest year on record as well, with massive flooding on almost every continent.

True. But to put it in some context.
