Makes sense, methane is a greenhouse gas.
YouTube - NASA | 2009 Tied For Second Hottest Year Ever Recorded
....but, but, but it's snowing somewhere on the planet.
Even though 2010, according to NASA is now the warmest year on record.
Someone better give Tim Ball a ring....perhaps Walt wil.
Hansen’s “Hottest Year Ever” Is Primarily Based On Fabricated Data
Hansen released the map below showing a lot of hot red and brown for January-November. It is supposed to indicate that 2010 is the hottest year ever.
But there is a huge problem. Most of his hot areas are not based on thermometer data.
The map below masks off all of the regions where Hansen has no thermometer readings. As it turns out, only 25% of the red area above is legitimate data, and only 33% of the dark brown is legitimate data.
The map below shows actual coverage during the period.

Hansen’s hottest year ever is nonsense. He shows a sharp rise in temperatures after July – just as the coldest La Nina on record set in. This is horrifically bad science.

The way some people talked. Very interesting, but stupid.
Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past - Environment - The Independent
The current reality to be ignored by the AGW crowd.

Maybe they can get jobs in Chile. Cherry season is just getting under way.....if it is warm enough this year.
Winter is cold so there is no global warming......wrong yet again Walt....try to follow along.

If you look at the temperature scale, and then at the chart, you can see the large swaths of cold air that have spilled out of the arctic, and are covering parts of Europe, North America, and Eurasia. And, you can also note how much warm air has been drawn up into the Arctic, causing temperatures that are 5, 10 and even 15+ degrees C warmer than normal.(the temps are anomalies, ie how much warmer or cooler than compared to the 1968-1996 mean)
YouTube - Britain gridlocked as big freeze returns
YouTube - Lighthouse becomes icehouse
So the situation on the ground exactly follows a most interesting presentation from last week’s American Geophysical Union event in San Francisco, which came to us from Jeff Masters Wunderblog, Hot Arctic, Cold Continents which I excerpted here.
The talk was given by Dr. Jim Overland of NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, one of the world’s experts on Arctic weather and climate (I spent many long months flying in the Arctic with him during the three Arctic field programs I participated in during the late 1980s.) Dr. Overland discussed the remarkable winter of 2009 – 2010, which brought record snowstorms to Europe and the U.S. East Coast, along with the coldest temperatures in 25 years, but also brought the warmest winter on record to Canada and much of the Arctic.
He demonstrated that the Arctic is normally dominated by low pressure in winter, and a “Polar Vortex” of counter-clockwise circulating winds develops surrounding the North Pole. However, during the winter of 2009-2010, high pressure replaced low pressure over the Arctic, and the Polar Vortex weakened and even reversed at times, with a clockwise flow of air replacing the usual counter-clockwise flow of air around the pole. This unusual flow pattern allowed cold air to spill southwards and be replaced by warm air moving poleward. This pattern is kind of like leaving the refrigerator door ajar–the refrigerator warms up, but all of the cold air spills out into the house.”
The pattern, according to Overland, is repeating itself this year, and may be a sign of a new air flow pattern brought on by changes in northern sea ice. More at the link.

So bookmark this post for Christmas Dinner when Uncle Walt and Aunt Teabag say something silly – it’s a public service of Climate Crocks to promote harmonious family relations.
You’re welcome.

It's winter, one degree warmer in winter is still cold. I know investors don't really work outside for a living, but they must have to walk through the real world at some point in their daily commute.
You should go on a rubbish diet for the new year Walt. If the year 1998 appears in the article as a starting point in any kind of trend, throw it out.
Lets not forget the poor lizards who are dying by the millions down here in Florida, 37 degrees just not good for them.
Baby, it's cold outside.

On the recovery from the Little Ice Age – Akasofu

Abstract:
A number of published papers and openly available data on sea level changes, glacier retreat, freezing/break-up dates of rivers, sea ice retreat, tree-ring observations, ice cores and changes of the cosmic-ray intensity, from the year 1000 to the present, are studied to examine how the Earth has recovered from the Little Ice Age (LIA). We learn that the recovery from the LIA has proceeded continuously, rough
