Quote of the Day
As the papers are full of James Hansen shrieking that 2010 will be the "hottest year on record" (in other words since about 1880*, and based on his own, highly suspect, GISS temperature data set), it takes a fellow warmist to get it right for a change:
“We have seen rapid warming recently, but it is an example of natural variation that is associated with changes in the Pacific [El Niño] rather than climate change." (source)
(H/t WUWT)
*By the way, if the age of the earth were represented by one day, the period since 1880 equates to approximately 2/1000 ths of a second.

Would you mind explaining how you arrived at 2/1000 ths of a second. I am very interested to know the answer to this question.
@Karen: Period in question=130 years, age of planet = 4.5 billion years, so scaling age of earth to 1 day gives (130/4.5e9)*24*60*60=0.0025 approximately = 2/1000ths of a second
Thankyou Simon.
