Globally, the 20 warmest years have all occurred since 1987.

Oddly enough, they've all occurred since the collapse of the Soviet Union -- and the
consequent shutdown of a large number of temperature monitoring stations in one of the
coldest parts of the world, because the Russians could no longer afford to maintain them.

Ya think that might skew the average a bit higher?



And none of the doomsdayers seem to factor in the that Antarctica is
growing by leaps and bounds.

No, they only see that little ice shelf breaking off and cry wolf.
They see the glaciers receding but don't pay attention to others which
have grown and expanded. They're in their own little world, and God
help anyone who tries to point them in a logical direction.
