I was talking about the year-to-date average for 2006.
Not one-month statistics.

2004 annual:  47 states "near" or above normal (only Maine was slightly below)
2005 annual:  all 48 states "near" or above normal
2006 annual (YTD):  all 48 states above normal

Pull your head out of the sand.  Warming is real.
Even if you don't believe it, the world's major insurance carriers do.

And, for the record, it was your post "that DAMNED global
warming" that triggered my responses.
