UAH MSU have released their new satellite data for May 2008. The global anomaly was -0.17 °C, the coldest reading after January 2000 and the third coldest monthly figure after September 1993.
An interesting factoid: "May 2008 was more than 0.75 °C cooler than January 2007."
More by the physicist who blogs at The Reference Frame. And "a former television meteorologist who spent 25 years on the air and who also operates a weather technology and content business" points out that,
It is significantly colder globally, colder even than the significant drop to -0.046°C seen in January 2008. ...I blame
But even more impressive is the change since the last big peak in global temperature in January 2007 at 0.594°C, giving a 16 month ∆T of -0.774°C which is equal in magnitude to the generally agreed upon “global warming signal” of the last 100 years.

Personally, I'm going to skip the climate change debacle and get on the next big progressive crusage; Anthropomorhic Continental Drift.
"Global Warming" was a mistake, "Climate Change" is a winner.
The CO2 is increasing, fast.
We don't know what will happen, if anything. But if anything does start "happening", it will be seen by record changes:
Hotter hots, colder colds; wetter wets, drier drys. More records.
And the reverse, colder hots, hotter colds -- but these won't be in records.
We need to get better at conserving water -- and that means water pricing.
(Sorry I haven't visited much for a long time.)
