<div>So much for the "global cooling" predictions prevalent among the skeptics of anthropogenic climate warming....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Goddard Institute for Space Studies ranked July 2010 as the third warmest July in the instrumental record, but the National Climate Data Center disagrees, ranking July 2010 as the second warmest for combined land and ocean average global surface temperature. Both GISS and NCDC agree that the January-July 2010 seven month period is the warmest in the instrumental record:</div>

<h2>NOAA: Second Warmest July and Warmest Year-to-Date Global Temperature on Record</h2>
<p id="releaseDate">August 13, 2010</p>
<p>The combined global land and ocean surface temperature made this July the second warmest on record, behind 1998, and the warmest averaged January-July on record. The global average land surface temperature for July and January–July was warmest on record. The global ocean surface temperature for July was the fifth warmest, and for January–July 2010 was the second warmest on record, behind 1998.</p>
