How much worse are things going to get?

First we had the Australia floods, then the Earthquake in New Zealand, and the Tsunami in Japan, and now the Mean Global temperature anomaly has gone negative!

Feb 2011

Globe -0.01

NH -0.04

SH 0.01

NoPol -0.17

SoPol -0.18

USA48 -0.23

Does this mean that things are worse that we thought?

    please try to be nice dave. its not considered sporting to kick your opponent when their down or humble them with raw negative data.

    anyway even though the temperatures continue to fall I'm sure they will find some way to blame all the natural disasters you listed on the mighty & all conquering co2 levels which can be depended upon to continue to rise from minuscule possibly all the way up to insignificant.

    Earthquakes cause Tsunamis. Climate change does not cause earthquakes, so those are unrelated. There is no record of any increase in frequency of earthquakes or volcanic activity. These thing have always [well a bloody long time anyway] happened. They will continue to happen. Its part of the constant jostling of the plates that form the thin crust of rock we live on. They are pretty random in their timing and exact location, although they are concentrated along the plate boundaries.

    Climate change on the other hand is accelerating and causing unexpected changes faster and more serious than most predicted. Meanwhile the deniers continue to cry 'NO CHANGE NO CHANGE' ....or ITS ALL NATURAL, but without presenting a single shred of evidence.

    Its just a cycle. To be honest, if you want to look at whats scary, its all of the revolutions happening in the Middle East and Europe. That will uproot our society before the Earth changing cycles does.

    it's going to get uglier than what we expect and no humans or animals will be able to stop it. We will go back to ice age AGAIN.
