ROTFLMSAO!

Peter, I am REALLY Rolling On the Floor Laughing
My Sweet Ass Off! No kidding, when I saw your
reply, I laughed so hard I fell off my chair. You're
either very very dumb and totally ignorant of
statistics, OR you're spin doctoring. Which is it?

Fossil fools wonder why no one takes them seriously.
Here is one of many reasons why.

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.
