More peer-reviewed science contradicting the warming-alarmist
"scientific consensus" was announced yesterday, as a new study shows
that the well-documented warm period which took place in medieval times
was not limited to Europe, or the northern hemisphere: it reached all
the way to Antarctica.

I opened my pool last week (before March 15th)!
This was the first winter I bought my eight year old son a sled (and his first winter without snow).

The temps are 0.6 degrees since the low temps of the mini ice age (1850 till present). Almost all of that happened from 1850 until 1938.
From 1938 until 1979 we saw 0.3 degrees of decline. Then temps went upward by 0.4 until 1998. From 1998 until present we have seen a slight decline of about 0.1 to 0.2 depending on which algorithms you settle on.
If we go from 1938 until present we are about zero increase. !998 and 1938 were just about tied as far as temps go. We have not seen those highs again since 1998, although some new algorithms are claiming we made a mistake on satellite temps in 2005 and that was also a tied year for temp. with 1998.
The best answer is 0.0 degrees C.

I do not know who put this information on Wiki.answers but it does not jive with other web sites I have checked and I have checked a bunch of them.
"The decade 2001-2010 was the warmest since records began in 1850, with global land and sea surface temperatures estimated at 0.46 degrees Celsius above the long term average of 14.0 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit)," said the World Meteorological Organisation.
Nine of the 10 years also counted among the 10 warmest on record, it added, noting that "climate change accelerated" during the first decade of the 21st century.
The trend continued in 2011, which was the warmest year on record despite La Nina -- a weather pattern which has a cooling effect.
The average temperature in 2011 was 0.40 degrees Celsius above the long term average, said the WMO.
