According to the latest RSS MSU satellite data for the lower troposphere, October 2007 was globally the 2nd or 3rd coldest month among the 82 months since January 2001. July 2004 remains the coolest month because the anomaly was 0.053 Celsius degrees.
May 2007 and October 2007 share the silver and bronze medals with the anomaly of 0.091 Celsius degrees which is 0.81 Celsius degrees cooler than the warmest RSS month, April 1998. Using Al Gore's terminology, two of the three coldest months in this century have occurred in this year! ;-)
If we don't act and the temperature decreases by 0.81 Celsius degrees every decade, the moderate zone will be covered by a huge ice sheet by 2100. China, 1 billion people. India, 1 billion people. U.S., 0.3 billion people. Well, let me stop. Otherwise it would look like I am working on my Nobel prize. :-)
The snows come early this year, New York, Michigan, Rocky Mtns, all already having snow. Winter officially starts December 21, 2007. See a pattern? Climate changes, always has, always will. The 'modern maximum' looks to be coming to an end. The next ice age may be just around the corner.
