1971-2000. The standard averaging period is the last 30 years ending in
0.

    Interesting that during the 70's and 80's it was below normal
temperatures here, don't suppose that could have anything to do with it
though. ;)
    In fact during the 70's it was so cold Globally that NOAA scientists
said we were heading into another ice age, and wanted to dust down the polar
ice caps with ash to melt them and avert the catastophe that they were
positive was coming, with millions of people starving to death when it
became to cold to grow crops in the USA. I used to have the link to the
article but lost it in a computer crash.
    Now it warms up one or two degrees and they reverse themselves, now it's
Global Warming instead of cooling, and they are still predicting
catastrophes. Ignore them, and I predict in another 30 years the Climate
will still be about the same, fluctuating up and down as it always has.
    Some people just aren't happy unless they are worried about something, I
won't worry about this, whatever it does it will seem normal at the time,
and life will continue as normal.
