In 2005 at the end of June the SST chart shows the Caribbean sea in deep yellow, much warmer than today. The tropical storm formation area off of the coast of Africa is also quite abit cooler today thatn in June 2005. 2007 appears to have been a transition year, cooler than 2005, not quite as cool as today. How cool will it go? No one knows. The effect of the sun reducing it's spots sometime in late October 2005 is being felt now. The southern hemisphere is also quite a bit cooler than in June 2005. Leaving the influences of the sun out of AGW models is risky, as it very likely invalidates the whole computer model.

For comparison here is the June 28, 2005 static non-clickable gif.
