Global Warming continues unabated, so keep your air conditioners handy .

GLOBALLY, the trend continues with remarkably warm temperatures world wide.  We will get the final figures in right after New Years.  If you don't believe in global warming, keeping your head in the sand ,won't cool you off very much.  2010 may be the warmest year on record, in a tie with 1998.

Somehow a false idea has taken hold that now, things are getting cooler.  The world reports do not show this, even though we had a cool summer in 2009, in the eastern US.

Recall that Russia was literally burning up this past summer.

A natural cycle , I suspect, is at work along with human activity, adding to the warming.

A mighty volcanic blast, is the only thing that could cool things off, or if the sun goes into a quiet cycle, as many experts seem to think it will.
