20th Century Warmest In 1200 Years 608
gcranston writes "Research from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, U.K. shows that the 20th century was the warmest for the northern hemisphere since approximately 800AD. Historical climate data were calculated from weather 'proxies' such as tree rings, ice cores, and seashells from Europe, Asia, and North America, and attempted to address the shortcomings of earlier studies. The findings support the argument for global warming as a result of human interference rather than natural climate change."

Well, I know that for at least the past 35 years (and perhaps even longer) these temperature cycles you describe occur - and very rapidly.
I've noticed this pattern where a period of global warming occurs over the course of several months, culminating in a period of almost overwhelming heat. This is followed by a rapid and drastic reduction in global temperature to the point where actual ICE falls from the sky!
I assume that this "mini-ice-age" occurs as a direct result of the previous global warming.
After the earth has managed to balance out and recouperate from mankind's abuse, it begins to thaw and warm up - but almost immediately the rapid global warming begins, and the cycle starts all over!
And this happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR!

Shouldn't that be "Global Climate Change Theory"?
(I think we should start appending "theory" to every vaguely scientific-sounding phrase. That'd soon end that particular bit of terminological silliness.
