Will Pres. Bush's last year in office (2008) likely be warmer or cooler than his first (2001)?

Question

Nationally?

Globally?

Answer 1

Likely warmer globally, but it's hard to say, because one year doesn't mean anything.

This graph shows why, clearly.  Individual years (the black line) jump around a lot; the data is noisy because of short term weather.  The 5 year average, the red line, filters out that noise, and shows the long term trend upward.

This is a common way in science to analyze noisy data.  Limiting things to one country makes the data even noisier and less reliable.

Answer 2

Nationally...cooler

Globally....cooler

The left wing liberal bias media will concentrate on sinking John McCain. Bush is already gone as far as they are concerned.

Answer 3

You could actually say that the Bush administration has done a nice job at keeping Global Warming in check :-)

Answer 4

Will the year in office (2008) likely be warmer or cooler than his first (2001)?  

Probably

Answer 5

Nothing about the Bush administration has been very cool.

Answer 6

It will be warmer than his first due to an increase in global temperature.  I wasn't able to find a graph for US temperatures but since the US is a relatively large country you would probably assume it follows the trend of the rest of the world.

Answer 7

I, for one, am in favor of global warming.  I love where i live, but there's too much cold and snow in the winter, and i say, lets all do what we can to raise themmperature a few degrees.  You bet i'm outside with aerosol cans every winter!

Answer 8

The Earth did warm more when the Democrats were in power.

Just goes to demonstrate that co-occurance does not prove causality.
