Washington Post – Down Is Up
Posted on October 19, 2011 by Steven Goddard
The fact that temperatures are going down doesn’t mean that they are not going up.
2011 on track to be slightly cooler than recent years, but global warming continues
After last year, which tied 2005 as the warmest year since reliable instrument records began in 1880, this year is proving to be considerably cooler at the global level. In fact, 2011 may rank at the bottom, or just outside of, the top ten list of the warmest years on record, potentially leading to questions of whether global warming is abating.
Let me head off such questions right here by saying that long-term global warming continues. The fact that this year is currently running cooler than last year does not in any way invalidate the fact that the world is warming, and that this warming is very likely due mostly to manmade greenhouse gas emissions.

UAH shows 2011 0.37 degrees cooler than 2010, which wipes out almost half the warming over the last 150 years. That is what WaPo means by slight cooling. However, a tree in Siberia tells us that the world is actually warming very fast. (Well, actually the tree didn’t tell us that, so we had to quit listening to it in 1960.)
