Well isn't this interesting.  For all those naysayers about global warming here is a report from Nasa which says that infact, the world is warming up.

It does not say why the world is warming up, we wil lleave that for future blogs perhaps! There are some very interesting alternative theories to the much published greenhouse gas problem that has resulted in a new form of hidden taxation - The Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).

From the article which can be found here (copy and paste people!) < http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/paper/gistemp2010_draft0601.pdf >:

We conclude that global temperature continued to rise rapidly in the past decade......there has been no reduction in the global warming trend of 0.15-0.20°C/decade that began in the late 1970s.

The yearly running mean global temperature has reached a new record in 2010, and all that despite the recent minimum of solar irradiance. The year on year graph for global temperatures is also pretty impressive.
Something to think about.

NOAA also just released their monthly El Niño/Southern oscillation update, which notes:

The majority of models predict ENSO-neutral conditions (between -0.5°C to +0.5°C in the Niño-3.4 region) through early 2011. However, over the last several months, a growing number of models, including the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS), indicate the onset of La Niña conditions during June-August 2010.

This about face in the weather models is intriguing. Just what is causing these models to completely change their predictions for upcoming weather and climate patterns?
