Data from the UK Met Office shows that temperatures in the first half of the year have been more than 0.1 Celsius cooler than any year since 2000.

The principal reason is La Nina, part of the natural cycle that also includes El Nino, which cools the globe.

Earlier this year, one group of researchers suggested that another natural cycle, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, was likely to hold temperatures steady for about the next decade

clipper's remarks: I guess we've all seen these quotes and predictions that look absolutely bizarre or hilarious given our ability to see them historically. I have a feeling this will be one of those quotes.

Today, China is a brash, tough power -- unfree, undemocratic, enthused with nationalistic self-importance, and hosting the Olympic Games with fake-smiles hiding feral teeth. Today, Russia is a cynical authoritarian state, rallying behind a former functionary of the KGB as its "leader" and pushing around smaller nations, like Georgia, to show who is boss. Today, Moslems believe overwhelmingly that America, the liberator of tens of millions of Moslems from godless Communism, is the "Great Satan." What happened?

Cyberspace Barrage Preceded Russian Invasion of Georgia

Weeks before physical bombs started falling on Georgia, a security researcher in suburban Massachusetts was watching an attack against the country in cyberspace.

Jose Nazario of Arbor Networks in Lexington noticed a stream of data directed at Georgian government sites containing the message: win+love+in+Rusia.

Other Internet experts in the United States said the attacks against Georgia’s Internet infrastructure began as early as July 20, with coordinated barrages of millions of requests — known as distributed denial of service, or D.D.O.S., attacks — that overloaded certain Georgian servers.

According to Internet technical experts, it was the first time a cyberattack had coincided with a shooting war. But it will likely not be the last, said Bill Woodcock, the research director of the Packet Clearing House, a nonprofit that tracks Internet traffic.

Georgian President Vows No Surrender

GEROGIA'S President Mikheil Saakashvili today vowed no surrender even as Russian troops pressed deeper into his country and he said the capital Tbilisi was being threatened.

"I think they should hear Georgia will never surrender. Georgia will never surrender."

Mr Saakashvili, who earlier in the day said in an address to the nation that "the majority of Georgia's territory is occupied", accused Russia of a premeditated attack.

"No matter how superhuman a military you have, if you have not been preparing the attack for months and months, for God's sake, how can you mobilise into another country 1,000 tanks within hours if it's not a premeditated attack on a neighbouring country?" he said.

"They are menacing the capital," he said, vowing that the "Georgian people will never surrender freedom and democracy, because democracy is stronger than any of their tanks, any of their bombings, any of their brutal equipment.

"We will go to the end, because we once lost our freedom to Russia."
