Global Warming Update

Study: Oceans have cooled in recent years (MSNBC)

My favorite part:
The temperature drop, a small fraction of the total warming seen in the last 48 years, suggests that global warming trends can sometimes take little dips.
Translation: Global warming is still happening, dammit...except for when it isn't.

This is pretty good too:
In the last century, Earth's temperature has risen about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.56 degrees Celsius).
Yes, folks, we're talking about a single degree Fahrenheit over 100 years... And the cause of this blistering increase in temperature?
Most scientists agree that much of the warming in the past 50 years has been fueled by the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities.
Classic...
