GISS: January 2008 was the coldest month since May 1995

From this post:

...Hansen's team hasn't seen a cooler month for more than 150 months, not even during the 1995-1996, 1998-2000, 2000-2001 La Ninas. Also, January 2008, the globally coldest January since 1989, was exactly 0.75 °C cooler than January 2007.

If we were fans of the alarm and extrapolated the latter trend, we would deal with 75 °C of global cooling per century. That could indeed be a catastrophe. ;-) If we extrapolated the 0.28 °C month-on-month cooling since December, the cooling would remove 336 °C per century, dropping below 0 Kelvins before 2100. :-) Entertainingly enough, January 2008 was also 0.27 °C (anomaly-wise) colder than June 1988 when Hansen gave his infamous testimony before the U.S. Congress, predicting a dangerous warming in the following 20 years.

No, I am not comparing apples and oranges here. January 2008 was also 0.39 °C colder than January 1988.

Remember, we were constantly told that a little upward nudge from CO2 could cause the Earth to become an uninhabitable fireball (because of positive feedbacks). So why wouldn't the current drop in temperature cause expanding snow and ice cover, increasing the Earth's albedo, which further cools the Earth until we've got an uninhabitable iceball?
