If there have been any, there certainly haven't been anywhere near as many as the heat records we set, not just here, but in the entire country, and in fact, GLOBALLY. How do you all explain the fact that 9 of the 10 hottest years on record occurred in the past decade? You all are doing EXACTLY what you accuse the other side of doing - ignoring facts that don't support your preconceived notions, and playing up those that do.
I think I heard 2010 tied either 2005 or 2007 for the warmest year on record. But I don't think the official "record" goes back far enough to either support or refute true global warming.
