December Global Climate/ 2010 Global Climate
 

After the satellite measures, UAH and RSS, both at 4th warmest in
their 30-year sequence, the first of the land-based measures is out.
NOAA has December as the 8th warmest December in its 130 year record.
What prevented it being warmer still was the Northern Hemisphere's
unusual cold. The outcome anomaly figure of +0.49C makes December the
coldest December since....2008!

"The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for
December 2009 was 0.49°C (0.88°F) above the 20th century average of
12.2°C (54.0°F). This is the eighth warmest December on
record." (NOAA).

NOAA also has the year, Jan-Dec, as the 5th warmest on record.

Just noticed: in case anyone wonders how I appear to have acquired
prescience in constructing the thread title, it should, of course,
read: "2009" climate!

Joe Public will have a hard time believing it was "warm"..........

I do mean that NOAA and unfounded accusations from such a source are
hardly going to pass muster when the NOAA record shows good agreement
with the two other land based records and the two satellite records.
All that does is show Joe *******i up. Unless of course you'd like to
say they are all wrong, in which case you are in conspiratorial la la
land.

Some people might have heard that while we (USA, UK and other places )
were cold recently, other places were warmer, then the overall temp
proberbly was above average.

Yes. 0.49C above average worldwide, according to NOAA.

On the contrary he had to go to an obscure Australian site to get the facts
