Note: Per John Christy, RSS and UAH anomalies are not comparable because they use different base periods, i.e., “RSS only uses 1979-1998 (20 years) while UAH uses the WMO standard of 1981-2010.”

Thank you for making this compilation available.
Maybe the graph in the “CRU Information Sheet no. 1: Global Temperature Record” (Dr. Phil Jones), at http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/info/warming/ should be included?
Thanks Anthony, great work!
The above gives a lot on nice information. I am a dabbler, not very knowledgeable, and I am usually only interested in the global results for a month or year(the numbers). The following URL’s are implicit or explicit above but some readers might find them helpful when gathered. These are the only ones I know of—please correct me if I have misinterpreted something or omitted some interdependent source.
1)Hadley Centre.
http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/hadcrut3gl.txt [gives monthly(first 12 columns) and yearly global(last column)]
http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/ [page with links to various Hadley Centre data sets]
2)GISS-NASA
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/GLB.Ts.txt [gives monthly and yearly results]
[explains at bottom how to go from “anomaly”to temperature at this site.]
3)RISS
ftp://ftp.ssmi.com/msu/monthly_time_series/rss_monthly_msu_amsu_channel_tlt_anomalies_land_and_ocean_v03_3.txt [gives monthly only(first column is ? global)---must average to get yearly]
ftp://ftp.remss.com/msu/monthly_time_series/ [page with links to various RISS monthly series]
4)UAH
http://vortex.nsstc.uah.edu/data/msu/t2lt/uahncdc.lt [gives monthly only(first column is global)—must average to get yearly]

Thanks for the kind words, but most of us ( Steve included) know where this is going ovleral the next 20-30 years. N America has been the warm heart of a cooling planet. For the record, I expect a weak to perhaps moderate el nino to evolve this summer into winter, and while that will push global temps up a bit, double la ninas followed by el ninos with a cold PDO means the break we had this year in N America is not likely to repeat next year. Europe is likely to have another severe stretch, which would make it 4 winters in a row year to deal with a cold extreme. While I officially have forecasted global temps , as measured by objective satellites, to return to the temps of the late 70s by 2030, I must confess that some of the more extreme forecasts due to solar cycle theory certainly have reason to have a seat at the table. The real shame is that we are now handcuffed by out of control warmingistas that have choked the lifeblood of our nations economy and find ourselves in a real bind as far as energy because of a ghost that never existed, and a reality that has a good chance of proving the opposite. Its amazing how many problems would be solved if we were just drilling without the paranoia about global warming. A more prosperous economy, less unemployment, more national security, and right on down the line. Years from now, people will marvel at how all this actually went on, perhaps with the same morbid fascination we look at what happened at Europe in the 30s. Tell a big enough lie loud enough , and people believe it
I have learn some excellent stuff here. Certainly value bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much attempt you put to create the sort of fantastic informative website.

The disconnect between Temperatures and CO2 is now stunningly obvious!
See http://www.colderside.com/Colderside/Temp_%26_CO2.html
Thank you rdr200 for the links. Everyone is so concerned with the anomalies that they forget to include the absolute temperatures, and you can’t create a mathematical climate model without knowing the absolute temperature!
How about a chart for contiguous US temperatures, since that’s often in dispute? E.g., Bill McKibben recently claimed that 2012 would be the hottest temperature ever for the lower 48.
A more recent graph for the NOAA-NCDC database is at http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/service/global/global-land-ocean-mntp-anom/201101-201112.png
It is linked from http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/cmb-faq/anomalies.php

Should be covered on the WUWT US Climatic History Page:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/reference-pages/us-weather-climate-pages/us-climatic-history/
If there are any charts you’d like added to that page, please let us know.
