This articel notes that tems went down a degree but that perhaps this is temproary.
Another article suggests we have begun to cool over the last two years. And the prediction is htat the trend will continue forthe next thirty years and relates this to sun spot activity. August was the first time since 1913 that there was no recorded sunspot activity which leads to cooler temeratures. Included is a graph of worldwide temperatures whcih shows a consistent decrease over the last two years:

Apparently there is also growing skepticism of the global warming theory. This will be interesting to follow. I know that Ocotber has been unusually cold here in the Philly area. If or one have no tbrought into the global warming theory...maybe jsut another Y2K like scare of doom.
