NASA Says 2005 Could Be Warmest Year Recorded
Ant writes "CNN reports that a weak El Nino and human-made greenhouse gases could make 2005 the warmest year since records started being kept in the late 1800s." From the article: "While climate events like El Nino -- when warm water spreads over much of the tropical Pacific Ocean --affect global temperatures, the increasing role of human-made pollutants plays a big part."
eh...
It will only be the hottest year on record for a year or so.

human-made greenhouse gases
I just made some of those myself.
Already in Canada, we have had some January temperatures of ONLY -35 C when normally we get some days of -37 C
Definitely warmer this year!
Girls with even less clothes, is not cool?
Well... We've had one of our colder January's in a while here in South Australia - hardly used my swimming pool compared to last year.
Where the hell is global warming when u need it?
You want a signature? You can't handle a signature!!
Two planets meet in space:
First planet: "You're not looking too well! Are you ill?"
Second planet: "Yeah, I got homo sapiens!"
First planet: "Never mind, that's one illness that quickly runs out. You may get some fever because of all the greenhouse gases, but in the end, they'll just wipe themselves out..."
We should think of the future, and of the planet we'll be leaving to our children. Clearly someone should take out all the environmentalcases, so that our kids won't have to put up with them.
RIP Canada - Was nice knowing you guys. Always loved the funny accent.

an accurate forcast for two days out in Oklahoma, and not in the middle of the summer with a high presure sitting on top of us (upper 90s, sunny, 70% humidity), then I will believe them.
Forcast: Partly cloudly and a high of 41
Actual: 1 inch of snow, high of 33

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Thank god the air conditioning works in my H2!
Oy, the irony. Becoming a member of the European Union is a death penalty.
There is a FAQ link in the comments above explaining in simple layman's terms the difference between weather and climate. There are no FAQs, however, explaining the difference between broadcast weatheridiots and actual scientists, as such a distinction is typically clear to anyone with half a brain.
