The trend to a warmer world is now incontrovertible

Well, despite what some still persist in believing, just published data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),shows that June 2010 was the hottest in recorded history (since records began in 1880). Not only that, but there is a consistent warming trend in-line with modelling what happens as greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere.

But pay attention to the statement that a warmer world is now incontrovertible. This does not mean there are not some places which have colder than average temperatures (Victoria, Australia did; I was here and it was cold), but that on average, the earth was warmer.

This is not a good thing, by the way.
