Sea water under an East Antarctic ice shelf showed no sign of higher temperatures, first tests showed today.

lol, spread out across the world, only if you think the world begins and ends with the northern hemisphere.

Extreme weather events certainly fall within the parameters of climate change models.

Study shows CFCs, cosmic rays major culprits for global warming
"Cosmic rays and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), both already implicated in depleting the Earth's ozone layer, are also responsible for changes in the global climate, a University of Waterloo scientist reports in a new peer-reviewed paper."

And of course there is actually another connection this study does not take into account.

"Back in the 1950s, the Americans, the British, the French and the Russians tried to impress each other by "testing" atomic weapons. This involved blowing up multi-megaton bombs in the air in remote places, but the explosions didn't stay local."

Nuclear testing has had detrimental effects on the stratosphere.

"Changes in trace stratospheric gases can result for detonations in the atmosphere if the fireball rises into the stratosphere. In this case, the high temperatures of the fireball destroy ozone and create various oxides of nitrogen. For large numbers (hundreds or thousands) of high yield detonations, these changes can exceed natural variations. Such depletion of ozone would increase solar ultraviolet reaching the Earth's surface. Nitrogen oxides tend to produce a global cooling effect. Both consequences would return to normal over periods of years."

In conclusion, CFC's were possibly scapegoated, to cover up the fact that high altitude atomic tests had literally burned a whole in the stratosphere in the 1950's.

Britain's big freeze is the start of a worldwide trend towards colder weather that seriously challenges global warming theories, eminent scientists claimed yesterday.
The world has entered a 'cold mode' which is likely to bring a global dip in temperatures which will last for 20 to 30 years, they say.

According to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, the warming of the Earth since 1900 is due to natural oceanic cycles, and not man-made greenhouse gases.

THIS Comment says it all...
"I'm a mathematician. I spend most of my time building models. Models are nothing more than simplifications of the way someone thinks something should work, not the way it actually does. Models are theories not fact. I've never observed a model that you couldn't support or detract with endless amounts of "facts". Scientists are not the new Jesus. We don't have to believe whatever they say as if they are a diety. They are men and women, just like you and I, and just as right or wrong as you or I. "

Europe's so-called "Little Ice Age" (1645-1715) coincided with the Maunder Minimum -- a period during which sunspots were exceedingly rare. How was the sun different during the Maunder Minimum? This subject of solar variability (in both diameter and period of rotation) has been long debated. Some early measurements of solar diameter, begun at Greenwich in 1830, seemed to some to show a steadily shrinking sun, but others found cyclic patterns.

In a new report, computer expert E. Michael Smith and Certified Consulting Meteorologist Joseph D'Aleo discovered extensive manipulation of the temperature data by the U.S. Government's two primary climate centers: the National Climate Data Center (NCDC) in Ashville, North Carolina and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) at Columbia University in New York City. Smith and D'Aleo accuse these centers of manipulating temperature data to give the appearance of warmer temperatures than actually occurred by trimming the number and location of weather observation stations.

"If there’s anyone left you know who STILL believes in Anthropogenic Global Warming, you might want to show them this chart."
