In news which is sure to induce a massive case of cognitive dissonance in Charles Johnson and other supporters of the anthropogenic global warming mythology, the global averaged satellite data for June 2009 shows that the Earth’s mean temperature continues to drop steadily. As Marc Morano points out, this means that the earth’s temperature has dropped 0.74 ºF (0.39 ºC) since Al Gore released his piece of cheap propaganda entitled An Inconvenient Truth back in 2006.
The latest global averaged satellite temperature data for June 2009 reveals yet another drop in the Earth’s temperature. This latest drop in global temperatures means despite his dire warnings, the Earth has cooled .74°F since former Vice President Al Gore released “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006.
According to the latest data courtesy of algorelied.com: “For the record, this month’s Al Gore / ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ Index indicates that global temperatures have plunged approximately .74°F (.39°C) since ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ was released.” (see satellite temperature chart here with key dates noted, courtesy of www.Algorelied.com – The global satellite temperature data comes from the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Gore has not yet addressed the simple fact that global temperatures have dropped since the release of his global warming film. (Gore has also not addressed this: Another Moonwalker Defies Gore: NASA Astronaut Dr. Buzz Aldrin rejects global warming fears: ‘Climate has been changing for billions of years’ – Moonwalkers Defy Gore’s Claim That Climate Skeptics Are Akin To Those Who Believe Moon Landing was ‘Staged’)
A record cool summer has descended upon many parts of the U.S. after predictions of the “year without a summer.” There has been no significant global warming since 1995, no warming since 1998 and global cooling for the past few years.
In addition, New peer-reviewed scientific studies now predict a continued lack of global warming for up to three decades as natural climate factors dominate.

This means that today’s high school kids being forced to watch Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” – some of them 4 times in 4 different classes – will be nearly eligible for AARP (age 50) retirement group membership by the time warming resumes if these new studies turn out to be correct. (Editor’s Note: Claims that warming will “resume” due to explosive heat in the “pipeline” have also been thoroughly debunked. See: Climatologist Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. ‘There is no warming in the pipeline’ )
Before he goes off half-cocked, Charles may want to note that Morano’s link in the second to last paragraph is to the Discovery Channel, not the Discovery Institute. Easy there, down boy.
One thing to note – while 0.39 ºC might not seem significant, keep in mind that the AGW true believers have been telling us that a 1 ºC rise in global mean temperature would mean massive ice pack melting and rising sea levels that would wipe out all kinds of coastal regions, wreaking unimaginable havoc on worldwide civilisation.
People like Al Gore and Charles must hate it when peer-reviewed science destroys a perfectly good scare tactic like AGW. It should be telling that the AGW fanatics routinely ignore the literally thousands of scientists in the relevant fields who have signed onto statements rejecting AGW as a cause for climate change, and instead try to hang onto thoroughly debunked scientists like James Hanson as support for their fantasies. It should also be telling that the most vigourous supporters of the AGW myth are not scientists – they are politicians and others who wouldn’t know actual science if it set their pants on fire with a Bunsen burner.
