The local weather station has recorded the coldest year in Cambridge since it started logging on the web in 1997.

But that is just weather

We've had some record cold numbers here too. In that case it must be steamingly-hot somewhere else...erm, like the Arctic.

Chris Vernon posted a map recently showing that the cold has been in areas frequented by our press while the warm has been in areas not frequented by the press (sorry, have searched but cannot find it). so, QED, the world is cooling!

From memory, the warmer areas this winter have been northern Canada, about 10 deg C warmer and Greenland, about 6 deg C.

Or this one for the meteorological year 2010?

Or this one for November 2010?

Perhaps we need to send all those sceptical OpEd writers to the Arctic? Erm, purely for research purposes you understand

On a one way ticket?

Now would I do a thing like that

?

No ticket. So they get ejected before the plane lands

STOP...from October the first, if you say "Whatever happened to Global Warming, eh?" whenever it's a bit cold or wet...

It's a dead heat!

2010 tied in top place with 2005 for the hottest year (and it was the wettest).

More confirmation of a dead heat:

but 2010 wins on points because it was "characterized by a high number of extreme weather events".
