To confirm what several other people posted,
the continental USA is warming faster than the rest of the globe.
According to the satellite Microwave Sounding Unit data
from Remote Sensing Systems, the globe from 82 degrees
North to 70 degrees South latitude warmed at 1.8 K per
century, while the continental USA warmed at 2.8K per
century. *(RSS avoids a known problem MSU that occurs
when the microwave beam reflects off ice surfaces by
excluding the poles.)
Classic global warming theory from Arrhenius predicts
greater warming rates in dry areas like the American West
and heartland than more most regions.
These lower troposphere data come from the third and ninth
columns of:

Though the continental USA is only about 1.5% of the globe's
area, there are more than enough data to support this statement.

What exactly was I supposed to see about RSS MSU

20 questions with a total jerk, so do you have a URL,
Tom?
RSS MSU is also cooked to a small extent.
Strike two!
Cooked how, prey tell?
