I think that's the way they'll spin it. At the end of 2008
I wrote that year would be the warmest La Nina year in the historical record, but new data forces me to
retract that erroneous statement.
PS. That's what I get for sitting on a blog post that I've been meaning to write - those jerks at Capitol Weather Gang beat me to it. I await the denialist explanation on how we can have years this warm when a natural cycle is temporarily cooling a significant percentage of the earth's surface.
