Re: May Had Fourth Coldest Globar Temperatures

Ok, I'll throw you a bone here. That we are having a cooler year than normal is not really concerning at all in and of itself. After all, no one was predicting that Global Warming would mean the end of weather and short term climate variability.

That said, the one thing that strikes me about the cool down so far this year, is that I remember a couple of years ago some scientists with the Russian Academy of Sciences predicting a global cool down.

Russian scientist predicts global cooling

If a trend develops over the next few years, that could cause much of the scientific community to revisit everything we thought we knew about long term climate modeling.
