As if we don't have enough to worry about already, Associated Press editorial science writer Seth Borenstein has thrown together a global warming scare piece that reads more like a press release from AlGore.com than an intelligently researched news article. According to Borenstein, the planet is already doomed because we did not act soon enough to stop global warming, and there is so little time left that even the divine efforts Barack Obama may not be enough.

Borenstein claims:

Since Clinton's inauguration, summer Arctic sea ice has lost
the equivalent of Alaska, California and Texas.
The 10 hottest years on record have occurred since Clinton's
second inauguration. Global warming is accelerating.
Time is close to running out, and Obama knows it.

"The ten hottest years on record have occurred since Clinton's second inauguration." Really?
I'm going to nominate this statement for "Most Obvious Example of Talking Out of One's Ass" for the year 2008.
Borenstein seems to be referencing the widely-quoted NASA/GISS chart showing that four out of the ten warmest years since 1900 occurred after 1997, and that 1998 was the warmest year of the Twentieth Century.
But that chart has since been debunked, and the resulting corrections show that only three of the ten warmest years since 1900 occurred since 1997, and 1934 was actually the hottest year of the twentieth century.
Conclusion: Borenstein has no idea what he is talking about.

if there was a 4* drop there would be a mini ice age.
