No they don't. But you keep telling yourself that it it helps you sleep.

Yeah and Sabres fans are mystified why their offence has failed to score 10 goals a game since they played the Oilers last year. Clearly they are cooling down. Iginla didn't score last night, clearly he's in a slump.

Here ...... multiple repeats of the same thing so it can sink in.

The year 2005 was the warmest year in over a century, according to NASA scientists studying temperature data from around the world.

http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/env...5_warmest.html (A 2006 report).

Each of the last 12 years (1997-2008) was one of the warmest on record.

The year 2008 tied with 2001 as the eighth warmest year on record for the Earth, based on the combined average of worldwide land and ocean surface temperatures through December, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. For December alone, the month also ranked as the eighth warmest globally, for the combined land and ocean surface temperature. The assessment is based on records dating back to 1880.

Nevertheless global cooling has not occurred even over the past ten years, contrary to claims promoted by lobby groups and picked up in some media. In the NASA global temperature data, the past ten 10-year trends (i.e. 1990-1999, 1991-2000 and so on) have all been between 0.17 and 0.34 °C warming per decade, close to or above the expected anthropogenic trend, with the most recent one (1999-2008) equal to 0.19°C per decade. The Hadley Center data most recently show smaller warming trends (0.11 °C per decade for 1999-2008) primarily due to the fact that this data set is not fully global but leaves out the Arctic, which has warmed particularly strongly in recent years.

It is perhaps noteworthy that despite the extremely low brightness of the sun over the past three years (see next page); temperature records have been broken during this time (see NOAA, State of the Climate, 2009). For example, March 2008 saw the warmest global land temperature of any March ever measured in the instrumental record. June and August 2009 saw the warmest land and ocean temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere ever recorded for those months. The global ocean surface temperatures in 2009 broke all previous records for three consecutive months: June, July and August. The years 2007, 2008 and 2009 had the lowest summer Arctic sea ice cover ever recorded, and in 2008 for the first time in living memory the Northwest Passage and the Northeast Passage were simultaneously ice-free. This feat was repeated in 2009. Every single year of this century (2001-2008) has been among the top ten warmest years since instrumental records began.

And look .. they talk about the sun.

And so on and on and on and on ............

Now ...... I've given you numerous quotes stating that the last 10 years were the warmest on record and all you've got is yeah but it's cooling.

From what? 2005? The warmest year in a century? That's it?

Feel free to continue to rant on about it but don't expect a reply about it.
