I came across this data from the Climate Research Unit and thought I'd use the topic for CO2 Sceptics first Blog.
You can locate the world global temperature on any given month of a year, not just the annual figures. This is the link information from the CRU

The graph below is for the past 20 years of world Temps for January and February.
It shows January 2008 as the 3rd worst when sorting and is only beaten by 1989 and 1996, and also shows February 2008 the 5th worst when sorting and is only beaten by 1994, 1989, 1993 & 1998.
With such a bad start to the year I would be very surprised if the end of year World Global Temp average for 2008 will be in the top 10 years.
Has the data for 2008 shown that the bubble is starting to burst for the global warmers?
As you can see in the CO2 Sceptics intro, CO2 levels are going up each year, unlike the dynamics of “Man Made Global Warming”
The question is has the change from Solar Cycle 23 to Solar Cycle 24 at the start of the year been a factor?
Ask Al Gore! Second thoughts I think its best for someone to tell him and the rest of the IPCC that Solar 24 will start to undo the "Man Made Climate Change" theory.
You will see from the graph below, World Temps are starting to go down, lets all hope its also along with Al Gore and the IPCC
