What happened to all that global warming?
NCDC data shows that the contiguous USA has not warmed in the past decade, summers are cooler, winters are getting colder
Climatologist Dr. Pat Michaels in an essay at The GWPF wrote:
“The last ten years of the BEST data indeed show no statistically significant warming trend, no matter how you slice and dice them”. He adds: “Both records are in reasonable agreement about the length of time without a significant warming trend. In the CRU record it is 15.0 years. In the University of Alabama MSU it is 13.9, and in the Remote Sensing Systems version of the MSU it is 15.6 years. “
So according the the National Climatic Data Center, it seems clear that for at least the last 10 years, there has been a cooling trend in the Annual mean temperature of the contiguous United States.
GLOBAL COOLING?
Just found (Dec 09) CIA cooling report: "The western world's leadlng climatologists have confirmed reports of a detrimental global climatic change [cooling]. The stability of most nations is based upon a dependable source of food, but this stability will not be possible under the new cllmatic era. A forecast by the University of Wisconsin projects that the Earth's climate is returning to that of the neo·boreal era (1600-1850) - an era of drought, famine, and political unrest in the western world." (1974)
Study of the orbital mechanics of the solar system in the 1970s led Russians to believe the Earth was about to cool and we should prepare quickly because it will be catastrophic. Their arguments were lost in the rush to warming group-think in the 1990s, but the arguments for impending cold are well founded and still believed by many good scientists. As the sun goes even quieter and January, 2008 saw the greatest year to year temperature drop ever (128 years of NASA GISS data) and thru the end of 2008 remains relatively cool, it is clear cooling needs to be considered as a very plausible future. This is highlighted by 2 papers published in March 2008. Scafetta and West showed that up to 69% of observed warming is from the sun and remind us that the sun is projected to cool and Ramanathan and Carmichael show that soot has 60% of the warming power of CO2. Both papers state that these factors are underappreciated by IPCC. The soot may well explain the Arctic melting, as it has recently for Asian glaciers. Many scientists believe the temperature changes are more dependent on the sun than CO2, similar to the relationship in your home with your furnace. With the Sun's face nearly quiet, the monthly patterns over the last 12 months are most similar to those of 1797 preceding the Dalton Minimum of 1798-1823 during the little ice age (Timo Niroma).
The southern hemisphere has been cooling over the last 10 years, just about as much as the north has been warming. There is no proof within observational data of warming outside of natural variation.
Ice creates chaos in China (Winter 2010)
Heavy snow and unusually cold weather have swept across most parts of China this winter, causing travel chaos on roads and on the sea, with forecasters predicting worse to come. Huludao is facing the worst sea ice IN THREE DECADES and the sea froze a month earlier than usual.
"The sea ice is about 60 nautical miles (110 km) off the coast of Liaodong Bay," Liu Yu, the station's chief forecaster reported.
Earth's 'Fever' Breaks: Global COOLING Currently Under Way
From the US Senate Committee On Environmental and Public Works
Excerpt: All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously. A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change every recorded, either up or down. […] Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on. No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.
The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average." China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century. Temperatures in the normally balmy south were so low for so long that some middle-sized cities went days and even weeks without electricity because once power lines had toppled it was too cold or too icy to repair them.
And remember the Arctic Sea ice? The ice we were told so hysterically last fall had melted to its "lowest levels on record? Never mind that those records only date back as far as 1972 and that there is anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts in the past. The ice is back. Gilles Langis, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice Service in Ottawa, says the Arctic winter has been so severe the ice has not only recovered, it is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than at this time last year.
[…]Last month, Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, shrugged off manmade climate change as "a drop in the bucket." Showing that solar activity has entered an inactive phase, Prof. Sorokhtin advised people to "stock up on fur coats." He is not alone.
Kenneth Tapping of our own National Research Council, who oversees a giant radio telescope focused on the sun, is convinced we are in for a long period of severely cold weather if sunspot activity does not pick up soon.

As Snow Storms Grip Kurdistan, Snow Falls of As Much As 1.5 Meters Wreak Havoc on the Region
Snow - a Rare Source of Many Problems
The recent snow storms, caused by the impact of climate systems from the Mediterranean, covered the majority of Kurdistan with a white gown and with a thickness varying from a few centimetres to over 1.5 meters.
Furthermore, the impacts in some areas caused humanitarian and financial losses. In Duhok, six road clearing teams started work to open highways and streets covered with unexpected levels of snow, reaching 1.3 meters in the province and more than 0.3 meters in the city enter.
Abd Yousif, Director General of the Duhok Education Directorate, highlighted that the snow wave has caused traffic issues and disconnected some villages, towns and districts, and prevented students and teachers from reaching their schools.
"As a result [of the heavy snow] some 70 schools have failed to conduct midterm exams that have been pushed back to next week," said Yousif. "If this continues, we may have to postpone them further."
Snow ... in Mexico? Rare Winter Dusting Shuts Down Ciudad Juarez
Feb 3, 2011 – 10:02 AM
It was just a dusting, really, but in Ciudad Juarez, that was too much.
The same storm that plowed through wide swaths of the United States swiped Mexico's northern border cities Wednesday night, covering the region in a thin layer of snow and bringing record-breaking temperatures that wreaked havoc in an area usually untouched by winter's misery.

Massive snowfall wreaks havoc in Iran
TEHRAN (AFP) — — Thousands of travelers were stranded in northern Iran Thursday after record snowfall cut off scores of roads and highways, state media reported, urging local emergency services and citizens to mobilize.
State television said the between 7,000 and 8,000 motorists were stuck in heavy snow on the highway between the city of Qazvin, situated around 95 miles west of Tehran, and the Caspian Sea city of Rasht.
Official radio also said Rasht had been completely cut off and parts of the city were without running water, gas and electricity, having received over five feet of snow.
Record Snow Sweeps Japan
2012-01-17 22:55 EST
Heavy snow on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido.
An unusually powerful storm hit the city of Iwamizawa on Monday, leaving behind mounds of snow nearly two metres deep. Scientists say they can't confirm exactly how much snow fell because their measuring instruments were damaged in the blizzard.
But the island's meteorological agency said this is the most snow Iwamizawa has been hit with since records began in 1946.
