Last Month was the 6th Warmest August in 130 Years of NASA Data.

In the real world,
outside the fossil fuel industry's spin and lies,
global mean surface temperatures continue to rise.

There are 1556 months of data on this data set:

-- 882 of them are below the norm.
This run of 186 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'm pleased to see you recognise the need for comparative curve
fitting in order to verify the growth element in global temperature
data, but would it not also be a good idea to fit one or more
"declining models" to highlight the coolists' mistakes? How about a
regression modelled on (year -1879)^0.95 or similar?

I think you mean "delay" or perhaps "mask" the warming - nothing is
going to stop it. Certainly not taxes, or cap and trade. We need a
quick fix right now, one that will act inside the next 25 to 30 years
and give us breathing space to advance 'energy' technology.

Thirty nines? Is that a record?

What would the world do without the 65,534 line
BASIC programs.

I get the same result with Excel and OpenOffice spreadsheets. Coincidence?

I don't know. As far as I know, no computer math
chip gives 1.000000000 results, I have only tested some
double precision programs.

Surely somebody knows, it would be absurd for all
statisticians to be thinking all those nines mean anything
other than an integer result.

NASA hasn' existed for 130 years. Needless to say, before 1978
or so, that data is non-NASA, incomplete, unreliabile data- A.
