“Dr. Jeff Masters of Weather Underground provides a good overview of the State of the Climate Report from NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). May 2011 through Apr. 2012 broke the previous record (Nov. 1999 — Oct. 2000). A number of other interesting records (e.g., warmest March on record) and stats emerged. It just presents the data and does not surmise anything about the causes or what should be done about it.”Source: Warmest 12-Month Period Recorded In US

“The United Nations’ most recent global climate report ‘fails to capture trends in Arctic sea-ice thinning and drift, and in some cases substantially underestimates these trends,’ says a new research from MIT. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, released in 2007, forecasts an ice-free Arctic summer by the year 2100. However, the Arctic sea ice may be thinning four times faster than predicted, according to Pierre Rampal and his research team of MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmosphere, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS).”Source: UN Climate Report Fails To Capture Arctic Ice: MIT

BergZ writes “Scientists from around the world are providing even more evidence of global warming. ‘A comprehensive review of key climate indicators confirms the world is warming and the past decade was the warmest on record,’ the annual State of the Climate report declares. Compiled by more than 300 scientists from 48 countries, including Canada, the report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said its analysis of 10 indicators that are ‘clearly and directly related to surface temperatures, all tell the same story: Global warming is undeniable.’”
