Study shows 2005 was warmest year in a century

NEW YORK (AP) - Last year was the warmest in a century, nosing out 1998, a federal analysis concludes.

Researchers calculated that 2005 produced the highest annual average surface temperature worldwide since instrument recordings began in the late 1800s, said James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

Over the past 30 years, Earth has warmed a bit more than 1 degree in total, making it about the warmest it's been in 10,000 years, Hansen said. He blamed a buildup of heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

If NASA says global warming is real, why do the freepers continue to deny it?

6. 78 degrees outside right now. Just north of Tampa Bay.

I think Hurricane season is going to start March 1st this year.

8. For your sake, I sure hope not. Have there yet been any predictions

about the upcoming hurricane season based on water temps in the Atlantic, or it it still too early?

3. yesterday it was 64 degree's in New York? -- January? unheard of!

11. Unusual? Yes. Unheard of? No.

I recall one particularly week in January in the early 70s when the temps were IN the 70s for a solid week. Folks in The Bronx walking the streets in shorts...In January!

So far, this is the Fifth Warmest January on record for NYC.

January 20th, 1951 (the year I was born) = 60 Degrees

It IS incredibly warm, it IS incredibly weird (and I'll take all I can get of it at the moment, 'cause I can't afford the heating bill), and we ARE experiencing global warming, that much IS certain.
