<div><strong>"(3) the 12-month running mean global temperature in the GISS analysis has reached a new record in 2010. The new record temperature in 2010 is particularly meaningful because it occurs when the recent minimum of solar irradiance</strong> (Frohlich, 2006; data at <a href="http://www.pmodwrc.ch/pmod.php?topic=tsi/composite/SolarConstant">http://www.pmodwrc.ch/pmod.php?topic=tsi/composite/SolarConstant</a>) is having its maximum cooling effect. At the time of this writing (May 2010) the tropical Pacific Ocean has changed from El Nino conditions to ENSO-neutral and is likely headed into the cool La Nina phase of the Southern Oscillation. The 12-month running mean global temperature (Figure 9b) may continue to rise for a few more months before the ENSO change causes the next decline. <strong>It is likely that global temperature for calendar year 2010 will exceed the 2005 record, but that is not certain if a deep La Nina develops quickly."</strong></div>
