"In the spirit of transparency, I was wrong about global temp dropping
in August

The global temp DID NOT FALL in August as I had predicted it too.
Whether this a delay of my idea, or denial will be settled in the
spring. In the meantime the .51 was slightly cooler than the .52 in
August of 1998 and means this year still trails the warmest satellite
year on record, 1998"

The near surface temperatures at the moment are higher than 1998

I see the 400mb level is currently 0.44C colder than 1998 whilst the near-
surface layer is 0.4C warmer. This pattern has been more or less the same
through all of August. Curious.
