Restoring science to its rightful place 12:23pm on 21 Jan 2009 The National Climate Date Center says the mean annual temperature in 2008 was
53.03 degF
The NCDC says the average from 1895 to 2008 was
52.86 degF

So it is .17 degF higher than the average.

That is within normal variation. This is why AGW is not garnering more support.

Further:
Antarctic has about 10% MORE or 1.1 million more square miles of sea ice than the average 1979 to present. (NASA's snow ice data center)

and
Winter of 2008 had the highest N Hemisphere snow cover since records began in 1966. And it is on track for another record. Rutgers Univ

Temperatures back to average, high sea ice at the S pole, and record N. hemisphere snow cover is not what I'd call anecdotal but rather broad and tellling descriptions of todays condition.

I have a degree in health admin from Duke. I can also read thermometers. And that's the point. From a laymans perspective, and looking at the scientist's data, PART of the scientific community seems to be screwing this up badly.
