230 years of climate data: sometimes it gets warmer, sometimes it gets colder

Shocking:

About 1/3 to 1/4 C from the “normal” line and dropping like a stone. Looks like the “modern optimum” is rapidly headed back to “typical English weather” with the potential to overshoot into “Damn Cold” Real Soon Now. The recent ‘warm lobe’ is not significant in size or duration compared to the past ‘cold lobes’. All in all, normal random walk ranges, IMHO.

Gonna be a damn PITA for the Global Warming folks to explain why after all that warming, the CET is ‘normal’ and plunging. Couldn’t happen to a nicer set of folks…
This looks like the inverse of the 1880s, which was rapid cooling followed by rapid warming.

    It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who I've run into that have no concept of the fact that the Earth's climate actually varies.

    Yep, now they're saying globull warming is actually CAUSING the cooling...

    It causes more prostitution, too, according to some Congresscritters. Maybe even the heartbreak of psoriasis.

    And don't forget dandruff, acne, and that embarrassing feminine itch!
