The previous December was the 2nd highest on record.

Meanwhile, back at the BBC :

WE did it. For once, we acted collectively, as humans, huddled together on a fragile planet, rather than as selfish individuals. And we did it: we beat global warming.

So now let’s move on.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, 2010 was Australia’s coldest year since 2001. Since logic tells us the planet can’t be getting hotter and colder at the same time, we can confidently pronounce global warming dead, buried and comprehensively beaten.

This victory happened because individuals pulled together, within nations, and then the nations of the world themselves pulled together. Meetings were held in places such Kyoto. Rousing speeches were made by world leaders. People clapped and felt good about themselves. Documents were signed.

Clearly, with each meeting, each speech, each inked treaty, global warming was pushed back.

Here in Australia, we also did our bit, big time. We declared global warming the great moral challenge of our generation. We talked confidently about doing something or other. (OK, I can’t remember what it was, and we never actually did it, but then we talked about doing something different . . . though maybe not straight away.)

Anyway, it worked, because last year was the coldest year since 2001.

Climate scientists predicted this. When they said “snow is a thing of the past” what they really meant was snow in North Africa.

Maybe the Chinese can solve global warming with tanks?

Central England Temperatures (CET) showed that only 260 years have been warmer than 2010, including the high CO2 years of 1682 and 1689.

It is important to remember though that the combined land area of the US and Europe is smaller than Tuvalu.

I predict that temperatures will rise 80 degrees in Colorado before August. But we know that all animals will die though if the temperature increases two degrees.

You can see the “blinding white cover” in the Barrow webcam image. Note that bright sunlight is beating down on the ice and melting it.

The wicked heat in Barrow is the result of this melting.
