But this lady has no vision or brainpower at all. They say she is a serious contender to be the Republican candidate in 2012. As a Democrat, I fervently hope so ;-)

The monthly analysis from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, which is based on records going back to 1880, is part of the suite of climate services NOAA provides government, business and community leaders so they can make informed decisions.

That's the same NOAA who just had to pull the data from "degraded" satellites after acknowledging they've been failing for 4+ years?
The same NOAA who's recent headline says there was a .2°C increase between 2000-2009 when their report shows .2°F and their website shows a decline of 0.73°Fahrenheit (-0.4°C) that took place during that period?
The same NOAA whose "independent" dataset is in reality directly connected to the other 2 majors?
The same NOAA who has dropped 80% of their surface temperature stations from the record?
The same NOAA which estimates Arctic temps because it has no thermometers in the actual Arctic and few even in the Arctic circle?
That's the same Arctic which had it's coldest summer on record north of 80°?
The same Arctic whose sea-surface temperatures show a cooling trend during melt season since 1993?

Of course you did include a smiley, so perhaps you're just being funny and trying to push my buttons. ;)
