IT has been a tough year for the high priests of global warming in the US. First, NASA had to correct its earlier claim that the hottest year on record in the contiguous US had been 1998, which seemed to prove that global warming was on the march. It was actually 1934. Then it turned out the world's oceans have been growing steadily cooler, not hotter, since 2003. Meanwhile, the winter of 2007 was the coldest in the US in decades, after Al Gore warned us that we were about to see the end of winter as we know it.
1998 is still the warmest year on record globally. Its called GLOBAL warming, not US warming.

2008 is the 141st coldest year out of the last 150. The 91st coolest out of the last 100. 10th warmest on record. Not exactly indicative of a cooling trend.
