Cooler than average April--Global What?
Sorry, Al Gore and crazy friends. Wrong again.

The average temperature in April 2008 was 51.0 F. This was -1.0 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average, the 29th coolest April in 114 years. The temperature trend for the period of record (1895 to present) is 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit per decade.
2.39 inches of precipitation fell in April. This was -0.04 inches less than the 1901-2000 average, the 54th driest such month on record. The precipitation trend for the period of record (1895 to present) is 0.01 inches per decade.

Yep, just a bunch of horse hockey. Here's a sort of an EKG of the global climate history for the past 400,000 years from ice core studies. To rely on actual recorded data from who knows when...it's a pimple on an elephants ass on this graph.

Al Gore is one major hypocrite, his private jet flight from his home in Tennessee to Norway to accept the Nobel Peace Prize generated the equivalent of 8 times the average CO2 output of a typical American family.
