All four agencies that track Earth's temperature (the Hadley Climate
Research Unit in Britain, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
in New York, the Christy group at the University of Alabama, and Remote
Sensing Systems Inc in California) report that it cooled by about 0.7C
in 2007.

This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record and it
puts us back where we were in 1930.

If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that
global warming is over.

There is also plenty of anecdotal evidence that 2007 was exceptionally
cold. It snowed in Baghdad for the first time in centuries, the winter

in China was simply terrible and the extent of Antarctic sea ice in the
austral winter was the greatest on record since James Cook discovered
the place in 1770.

"The question scientists should now be asking is not how much it will
warm over the next 50 to 100 years, but why has it warmed so little
during the major carbon dioxide buildup?" Patrick J. Michaels,
