Actually, you are wrong. I really have no idea what you consider the
"Latest Satellite Data", and you obviously and apparently fail to
qualify such vague statements. My CS degree taught me precision in
definition, and appropriately, I will qualify my statements.

I consider the the "Latest Satellite Data" to mean 1 year. So,
consider the data for temperature anomalies for 2008, using the source
you provided:

ANNUAL CYCLE BASED ON 79001-98365
YEAR MON GLOBAL

2008 1 -0.046
2008 2 0.020
2008 3 0.089
2008 4 0.015
2008 5 -0.183
2008 6 -0.114
2008 7 0.047
2008 8 -0.007
2008 9 0.161

The average of which is -0.002. That means we are currently BELOW 0 for
the temperature anomaly when considering the average.

But let's not just limit our discussion to that fact.

Considering the 12-month running average, again using your source, and
again for 2008:

12-MON RUNNING MEAN
YEAR MON GLOBAL

2008 1 0.227
2008 2 0.194
2008 3 0.166
2008 4 0.148
2008 5 0.116
2008 6 0.089
2008 7 0.072
2008 8 0.047
2008 9 0.044

You don't even need a graph to see that the trend is CLEARLY TOWARD ZERO
(read: COOLING).

So, Roger my friend, your assertion that "Latest Satellite Data Show A
Warming Global Climate" has been proved FALSE; twice I might add, and
using your data.

Have a nice, COOLING, day.
