Its Called "Global Warming", Not "Nebraska Warming", Not "U.S. Warming"
Year 2009 Review
The concept here is simply that it may be cooler than normal in a region or for the entire U.S. but if the majority of the earth is warmer than normal, then we call it global warming. The following maps show the monthly and then annual global temperature departures from normal and then the monthly and annual state temperature rankings. A table is included which summarizes this information. Note that the state rankings are based upon 1 = coldest and 115 = warmest. |
