NCDC scientists also reported that the combined average global land and ocean surface temperature for August was second warmest on record, behind 1998. For the June-August 2009 season, the combined global land and ocean surface temperature was third warmest on record.

Thats just a tad confusing.

Ummm its "Global" warming.... just way too much verberia there to digest in an offhand manner.
Keep one thing in mind when reading some of these reports. They are prepaired by people with a vested interest in the topic so they just might be biased a little.
On the bright side they expect heating oil to be at a lower costs so it will be a little cheaper to get by this winter of warming
