The 2008 Global Warming Contract has expired; 2009 contract is listed

The 2008 GLOBAL Land-Ocean average was 0.438 Celsius degrees (above baseline mean of 14C), according to the Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

The 0.41-0.50 contract, trading on the Global Warming Exchange, expires in the money. Recent average temperatures peaked at 0.62 Celsius above in 2005, and was 0.57 above in 2007. Nice long-term temperature graph here.

I'll announce the 2009 contract shortly.
