Off topic but important--The Nuclear Axis of Evil Advances http://frontpagemag.com/2011/07/05/the-nuclea...c097f7-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN

This won't hit the UK front pages on account of the other grubby fiasco going on but here's yet more bad news for UK Number Crunchers....and those who outrageously like to keep hypothermia at bay in the depths of Winter

The last Shuttle departed this morning. We are going backwards not forwards

This is cool

Maybe no so cool with it being 13.6 million C in the core 5,800 C at the surface and 1 million C in the corona

That's a lot of bar fires feel that warmth

No doubt in my mind many are

Where the North Pole webcams are

And a this morning's pretty picture from Webcam NOAA2 somewhere 88-89 North

Lots of melt water on ice near the North Pole (90 degrees N) and In the background, the freeboard that Cryosat-2 Team is trying to measure from space and use reliably to calculate Volume & Ice Thickness computed with the simple formula Hi = 8.13Fi +0.37, which per PIOMAS data currently computes as record low, some 10,000 cubic kilometers less than normal for June 30 of this year.

Not sure what you're here trying to convey with that question and link, GeraldRube. In recent times the 'hot' records have been exceeding the 'cold' records by orders of magnitude such as depicted here "It's Obscenely Hot: June 2011 Heat ...s by Nearly 11 to 1" . What does that tell even the most layman of laymen about the average [global] trend of temperature?

Here's a funny... addressed one Roy Spencer [a De facto denialist] who leaves out half the physics to come to his far fetched conclusions] does satellite recorded temperature tracking, global, and was recently mouthing off the RSS v 3.3. satellite temperature recording because it has been trending cooler than his UAH v 5.4. If one goes to check the data one finds that Roy's UAH for the past 12 months has on average actually been cooler than RSS by 0.047C . Yes Roy does 2+2=3 math. Someone a few years ago said here "I do not trust Roy Spencer". The appearances speak for themselves.

The ''honest'' doctor leaves out allot as said, such as that as of June, the world has set a new rolling heat record under the ENSO cycle... just the 3rd decimal, a ''statistical'' record, but still, 0.002 warmer than the previous, ca 2007... a sign of the times. What the underlying cause of the continued warming notwithstanding a dull-ish sun most all know, even Roy Spencer knows and has said so, though he comes to half of what most everyone else computes, starting with the likes of Arrhenius and Langley, back in the 1890's. Here the UAH plot [that hated green again] superimposed on the RSS plot [red, more hated in select circles]. Seems the difference is ''academic'' to pun the term.



For those that can't stand it Zz Zz Zz Zz

PS: Can you see that odd cycle in the yellow moving average trend-line? You're free to eyeball it, just with one eye and you could be king... of the truth, albeit inconvenient.
