I have accumulated a few bits about global warming that tie nicely together:

First, anecdotal evidence that world isn't ending: Snow falls on Baghdad for first time in memory

Br-r-r! Where did global warming go? by Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe is a very interesting and persuasive piece on recent temperature patterns and the chill the southern hemisphere has been experiencing. Just over a year ago, the BBC News announced that "experts" were predicted that 2007 would be the warmest year on records.

It wasn't.

In fact, since the high in 1998 (recent high that is -- we're not talking about the high temperatures from the middle ages or the age of the dinosaurs), temperatures have declined slightly. Since 2001, temperatures have remained essentially unchanged, despite the supposedly massive amount of CO2 accumulating in the atmosphere.

Wake me when we beat 1998...

And finally, this classic Day-by-Day strip (an online comic) poking fun at the Doomsayer-in-Chief, Al Gore.
