'Jan.-June warmest first half of year on record'....spin that faux

[spanone]

Global land and ocean surface temperatures in the first half of 2010 were the warmest January-June on record, the federal climate service reported Thursday.

January-June temperatures averaged 57.5 degrees Fahrenheit — 1.22 degrees F above the 20th Century average, according to the National Climatic Data Center. Its records go back to 1880.

That broke the previous record of 1.19 degrees F above average set in 1998.

In addition, last month was the warmest June on record at 61.1 degrees F — 1.22 degrees F above the 20th Century average.

2010 has also surpassed 1998 for the most "warmest months" in any calendar year, the center stated.

3. Could have fooled me.

Around here, January and February were actually warmer than normal. But then March - up until July 5 was much colder than normal with maybe a couple exceptions. Even July has been cooler than usual, most of the time, but within summer range at least. (I'm certainly not complaining that I don't need the A/C as much)

Inhofe, that Global Warming is a fraud!?!
