March 2011 ended up as the coolest March globally since March of 1994.
IOW: AGW = TFBS.
UPDATE:
THERE'S A REASON - AND IT AIN'T GOT NUTTIN' TO DO WITH MAN-MADE "GREENHOUSE GASES": VIA WUWT:
NASA MSFCIOW: "IT'S THE SUN, STUPID!"Current prediction for the next sunspot cycle maximum gives a smoothed sunspot number maximum of about 62 in July of 2013. We are currently over two years into Cycle 24. The predicted size would make this the smallest sunspot cycle in nearly 200 years.
HMMM... 200 YEARS AGO... THAT WOULD BE THE EARLY 19TH C. HMMM: 1816 WAS CALLED THE YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER!:
"The year without summer" was caused due to volcanic explosion: "Mount Tambora" explosion.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the 1815 eruption occurred during the middle of the Dalton Minimum (a period of unusually low solar activity) is also significant.Still it was the largest volcanic explosion in 1650 years.
