Cold enough for ya?

I can't be bothered to see what the Daily Mail comment boards have to say about the current cold snap, but I'll bet a pound to a penny there's more than a few saying it's further proof there's no global warming. But the Guardian reports 2010 will likely be the warmest year since 1850, and the next five years could see faster warming than hitherto predicted. This last research is by eco-nutters the US Naval Research Laboratory, and  Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Another prediction the Guardian makes is that this is "expected to silence global warming sceptics". Here's my prediction: Hell will freeze over before that happens.
