Thanks for making this so fun....Sinatra. And thanks again from proving my point the other day that the winters here are warmer than they were in 1985.

Oh, let's look even more closely at those Norfolk numbers now - since you are still clinging to hope that it has gotten sooooo much warmer than it once was. Now let's look at
year-to-year median temperature shall we?
2008 = 61 degrees
2004-2005 = 61 degrees
2000-2001 = 59 degrees
1994-1995 = 62 degrees
1990-1991 = 63 degrees (Norfolk 2 degrees cooler last year)
1984-1985 = 61 degrees (the era of your "cold winters" no colder than last year...)
1980-1981 = 59 degrees (Brrrrr!!!!)
1974-1975 = 61 degrees
1970-1971 = 60 degrees
1964-1965 = 61 degrees
1960-1961 = 61 degrees (Temps last year the same as 40 years ago...)
1954-1955 = 62 degrees (It was warmer 50 years ago?? Global Warming huh???)
1950-1951 = 60 degrees
1948-1949 = 62 degrees (This is as far back as weatherunderground stats go)
So what we have here dear boy, is a DECLINE in year-to-year temps in 2008 from Norfolk Virginia temps of 60 YEARS AGO. Overall, the temps have been relatively stable year-to-year, depending on severity of winters or summer months - in spite of your much-loved
CO2 emissions.
This is the temperature data of your own backyard Chris. You don't even know that history, do you? You make your silly observational inputs regarding the "cold" winters of 25 years ago without realizing the year-to-year data shows the actual temps to be very similar to those of today.
In short, no drastic "global warming" issues for Norfolk Virginia.
Better luck next time...

Glacier Bay National Park -- National Geographic
When Capt. George Vancouver sailed the Alaska coast in 1794, Glacier Bay did not exist. It lay beneath a sheet of glacial ice several miles wide and thousands of feet thick. Since then, in one of the fastest glacial retreats on record, the ice has shrunk back 65 miles to unveil new land and a new bay, now returning to life after a long winter's sleep.

Glacier Bay National Park Scientists call Glacier Bay a living laboratory for the grand processes of glacial retreat, plant succession, and animal dynamics. It is an open book on the last ice age. At the southern end, where the ice departed 200 years ago, a spruce-hemlock rain forest has taken root. Farther north, the more recently deglaciated land becomes rugged and thinly vegetated.
The bay branches into two major arms, the west arm and Muir Inlet, which themselves branch into smaller inlets. There, on slopes deglaciated 50 to 100 years ago, alder and willow grow, while mosses, mountain avens, and dwarf fireweed pioneer areas exposed within 30 years

No More Glaciers in Glacier National Park by 2020?
Anne Minard
National Geographic News
March 2, 2009
<!--- startbody --->It's an oft-repeated statistic that the glaciers at Montana's Glacier National Park will disappear by the year 2030.
But Daniel Fagre, a U.S. Geological Survey ecologist who works at Glacier, says the park's namesakes will be gone about ten years ahead of schedule, endangering the region's plants and animals.<!--- deckend --->

Alps Glaciers Gone by 2050, Expert Says
The 2030 date, he said, was based on a 2003 USGS study, along with 1992 temperature predictions by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
"Temperature rise in our area was twice as great as what we put into the [1992] model," Fagre said. "What we've been saying now is 2020."
The 2020 estimate is based on aerial surveys and photography Fagre and his team have been conducting at Glacier since the early 1980s. A more standardized measure of what's happening to a glacier comes from arduous documentation of its mass, which requires—among other techniques—multiple core samples.

The loss would change the supply of drinking and irrigation water, lead to more falling rocks, and cripple the European ski industry.<!--- deckend --->

Some Glaciers Growing Due to Climate Change, Study Suggests (September 11, 2006)
Map: Melting Alps
Himalaya Ice Threat Monitored in Nepal (March 10, 2006)
On average about 3 percent of Alpine glacial ice is lost each year, said Roland Psenner, a fresh water scientist at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. That corresponds to about 3.3 feet (1 meter) of ice thickness.

The range, which spans several Asian nations, is known as the Water Tower of Asia, since billions of people depend on its life-bringing flows.
But scientists fear that these water supplies could eventually dry up as the glaciers melt due to global warming.

Greenland Melting? Satellite to Help Find Answer

Warming surface temperatures in Greenland are allowing more meltwater to trickle down to the glacier bed. There, where glacier meets earth, the water acts as a lubricant, allowing the ice to flow more quickly to the ocean.
