August tied for 10th warmest on the 129-year NASA Northern Hemisphere
record.

Despite fossil fool lies,
global mean surface temperatures continue to rise.

These hemispherically averaged temperature data come from NASA,
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/NH.Ts.txt
They represent the results of tens of millions of readings
taken at thousands of stations covering the lands of the Northern
Hemisphere over the last 129 years. Yes, the data are corrected
for the urban heat island effect.

The Mean August temperature over the last 129 years is 14.051 C.
The Variance is 0.09497.
The Standard Deviation is 0.3082.

The most recent 177 continuous months, or 14 years and 9 months,
on this NH.Ts.txt data set are all above the 1951-1980
data set norm of 14 C.
There are 1544 months of data on this data set:
-- 790 of them are at or above the norm.
-- 754 of them are below the norm.
This run of 177 months above the norm is the result of a warming
world. It is too large to occur by chance at any reasonable level
of confidence. A major volcano eruption, thermonuclear war, or
meteor impact could stop this warming trend for a couple of years,
otherwise expect it to continue.

I've already posted those data on these forums.

August Was 10th Warmest on NASA's 129-year global land and sea record.

In the real world, outside the fossil fool spin and lies,
global mean surface temperatures continue to rise.

These globally averaged temperature data come from NASA
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ta...LB.Ts+dSST.txt
They represent the results of tens of millions of readings
taken at thousands of land stations and ships around the globe
over the last 129 years. Yes, the land data are corrected for
the urban heat island effect. The sea data do not need to be.
There are few urban centers in the sea.

The last 128 yearly means of these data are graphed at
