Two interesting articles in Nature, Volume 457 Number 7228, 2009

On page 435: 

Changes in the phase of the annual cycle of surface temperature Variations in the seasonal cycle of temperatures at the Earth's surface are spatially mapped on both land and sea, and trends in the recent past (1954-2007) are compared with those occurring earlier (1900-

1954). Assuming that the earlier part of the temperature record is dominated by natural variations, the recent trends seem highly anomalous: temperatures on land show a shift to earlier seasons by 1.7 days, and the amplitude of the cycle has decreased in this period.

On Page 459:  Warming of the Antarctic ice-sheet surface since the 1957 International Geophysical Year p459
The Antarctic Peninsula is known to be warming rapidly, but the overall pattern of climate change for the full Antarctic continent has been uncertain. This work finds that the entire continent is warming at a rate of 0.12 ± 0.07 °C per decade, with stronger warming in winter and spring and over West Antarctica.

For those that don't have personal/institutional access, let me know, I might be able to hook you up.

That would be me.  Anything you can offer I'd be happy to accept.  Thanks in advance.
