January 2010 Global Tropospheric Temperature Map : " Here’s the UAH lower tropospheric temperature anomaly map for January, 2010. As can be seen, Northern Hemispheric land, on a whole, is not as cold as many of us thought (click on image for larger version). Below-normal areas were restricted to parts of Russia and China, most of Europe, and the southeastern United States. Most of Canada and Greenland were well above normal: (click image to enlarge) It should also be remembered that lower tropospheric temperature anomalies for one month over a small region are not necessarily going to look like surface temperature anomalies. Since January 2010 was the third-warmest month in the 32-year satellite record, it might be of interest to compare the above patterns with the warmest month of record, April, 1998, which was an El Nino year, too: (click image to enlarge) "

Climate change: already affecting people and livelihoods around the world : " Climate change is already impacting different people around the world, affecting agriculture and livelihoods. For example, in Nepal people are finding that cultivating rice (a staple crop) is not as easy as before and are having to change to other crops. In the Himalayas, retreating glaciers are already causing water shortages for local villages high in the mountains, while vast areas of the South Asia region will be affected. In Mozambique, increasing floods are affecting agricultural practices and ways of life, while in Mauritania problems are being caused by increasing desertification. The global warming and climate change introduction page has been updated to include a number of short videos that highlights these issues further.
