Despite the snowstorms etc that got those who "believe" that man cannot much change climate all excited, Jan-June 2010 was the warmest on record for the globe, and 2nd warmest on record for just the land, after 2007 (which surprises me a bit, since we kept hearing from the deniers that it had cooled). The month of June was the warmest on record. See the link.

The sun is still very quiet, so, for Dennis, can't attribute this to the sun, unless there is something going on that I don't know about.
