GLOBAL WARMING: NCDC data shows that the contiguous USA has not warmed in the past decade, summers are cooler, winters are getting colder. “In the middle of all those quotes being bandied about, I get an email from Burt Rutan (yes THAT Burt Rutan) with a PDF slideshow titled Winter Trends in the United States in the Last Decade citing NCDC’s ‘climate at a glance’ data. This is using the USHCN2 data, which we are told is the ‘best’, no pun intended. It had this interesting map of the USA for Winter Temperatures (December-February) by climate region on the first slide.”

UPDATE: Link was bad before. Fixed now. Sorry! Firefox 7 sometimes strips the http:// from URLs and I missed it this time.
