And we are only just starting this El Nino, which will probably last
into the boreal winter. The final figure for this year could be very
interesting. So far, 5th warmest in the NOAA record Jan - June.


Are you nuts? Nasa GISS headed by James Hansen who uses dodgy land based
temperature records-many in the USA alone inaccurate and poorly placed let
alone the **** poor shape the remaining ones are ?

Of course the fact that Hanson is becoming an evangelist AGW nutter has no
bearing on the fact that the GISS data set is going in the opposite
direction. I will quote from Anthony Watts site before I'm accused of
plagiarism

"This month's whopping anomaly of 0.63C is once again much higher than that
of RSS, UAH, and even NOAA, which is the source of the GISS temperature
data. Not only is the anomaly higher than the other metrics, but it is
trending in the opposite direction."

Would you care to explain this GISS contradictory data ?

I saw it pointed out the different series measure anomalies relative to
different baselines. The baseline period for GISS is chronologically
earlier, with the consequent result that the stated GISS anomaly is
numerically higher than the others. That explains at least some of the
difference between the numbers.

At the same place it was suggested that some of the difference may be
due to GISS including Arctic temperatures and the other series not
including them.
