U.S. Temperatures Continue Long Cold Slide: Cooling Now At -7.40°F Per Century Trend

Source here. Temperatures as of April 30, 2010. Of course it will warm again, but the decade-long plus global cooling trend has not yet abated. With the continental U.S. having the most extensive thermometer network in the world, this suggests that possibly other areas of the world would also be cooling if they also had the level of temperature measuring coverage that the U.S. has.

The AGW hypothesis calls for global warming, which is obviously not happening in the U.S. - the case for AGW is significantly weakened by this type of empirical evidence. The climate models predicted global warming, which included all of North America. Note: A temperature trend, as shown in the chart, is not a prediction.
