When you say "Global Warming", what are you talking about? And when
you say "retards who deny Global Warming", are you referring to people
who say that the earth isn't getting warmer despite the NOAA's report,
or is there something else you're referring to?

Oh, Chicken Lips, there you go again. You are such a shill. You know
quite well what he's referring to. You just love to bait people. Please
get a life.

Winter Warmest on Record Worldwide

NOAA Report: El Nino, Global Warming Contribute to Warmest Winter on
Record

WASHINGTON (AP) -- This winter was the warmest on record worldwide,
the government said Thursday in the latest worrisome report focusing
on changing climate.
The report comes just over a month after the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change said global warming is very likely caused by human
actions and is so severe it will continue for centuries.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the combined
land and ocean temperatures for December through February were 1.3
degrees Fahrenheit above average for the period since record keeping
began in 1880.

The report said that during the past century, global temperatures
have increased at about 0.11 degrees per decade. But that increase
has been three times larger since 1976, NOAA's National Climatic Data
Center reported.

Most scientists attribute the rising temperatures to so-called
greenhouse gases which are produced by industrial activities,
automobiles and other processes. These gases build up in the
atmosphere and trap heat from the sun somewhat like a greenhouse.

Also contributing to this winter's record warmth was an El Nino, a
periodic warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean. It was particularly
strong in January -- the warmest January ever -- but the ocean
surface has since begun to cool.

The report noted that in the Northern Hemisphere the combined land
and water temperature was the warmest ever at 1.64 degrees above
average. In the Southern Hemisphere, where it was summer, the
temperature was 0.88 degree above average and the fourth warmest.

The late March date of the vernal equinox noted on most calendars
notwithstanding, for weather and climate purposes northern winter is
December, January and February.

For the United States, meanwhile, the winter temperature was near
average. The season got off to a late start and spring-like
temperatures covered most of the eastern half of the country in
January, but cold conditions set in in February, which was the third
coldest on record.

For winter, statewide temperatures were warmer than average from
Florida to Maine and from Michigan to Montana while
cooler-than-average temperatures occurred in the southern Plains and
areas of the Southwest.

For Alaska, both February and winter were warmer than average but far
from the record warmth of 2003 and 2001, respectively.
