The national temperature of 57.1 degrees F during spring was 5.2 degrees F above the long-term average, besting the previous warmest spring of 1910 by 2.0 degrees F. This marked the largest temperature departure from average of any season on record for the contiguous United States. The spring of 2012 was the culmination of the warmest March, third warmest April, and second warmest May. This marks the first time that all three months during the spring season ranked among the ten warmest, since records began in 1895.

june has been cool so far…

James Hansen has been adjusting the historic temperature records to produce a positive trend, so if you are citing NASA/GISS data, the conclusion is tainted.
Our Central Ohio water/spring has been extraordinarily warm (as you well know), but Europe had record low temperatures during the same period. -
Ahhh…global conspiracy to make us panic.
Got it. -
CO2 emissions in the United States in 2011 fell by 92 Mt, or 1.7%, primarily due to ongoing switching from coal to natural gas in power generation and an exceptionally mild winter, which reduced the demand for space heating. US emissions have now fallen by 430 Mt (7.7%) since 2006, the largest reduction of all countries or regions.

Is this just one point or a trend? -

I believe he said James Hansen. One guy does not a global conspiracy make.
Hansen is a nut by the way and he did recently get caught making arbitrary adjustments to the record.

You can choose to accept a nut who arbitrary adjusts data all you want….but that does not make the rest of us who do not global conspiracy mongers.
