Below is a 'Climate Map' by NOAA. It shows a planet burning up.

The cold air over the USA and Europe is due to 'heat transfer' to the North Polar Cap and the shunting of Arctic air to lower latitudes. I've discussed that mechnanism many, many times. No one can state this is 'Global Cooling.' No one. Global Cooling is a myth.

The base period used to determine the increase in global temperatures was from 1970 to 2000. The temperatures reported are higher than that 'mean.'



Ocean Losing Its Appetite for Carbon (click title to entry - thank you)

The world's oceans, which normally gobble up carbon dioxide, are getting stuffed to the gills, according to the most thorough study to date of human-made carbon in the seas.
Between 2000 and 2007, as emissions of the potent greenhouse gas carbon dioxide skyrocketed, the amount of human-made carbon absorbed by the oceans fell from 27 to 24 percent....

The less of a 'carbon sink' the ocean is the higher the density of CO2 in the troposphere and the higher the temperatures become globally. It is a matter of physics. Nothing civilization hasn't been warned about.
