The NOAA/NCDC 2008 temperature map shows near normal USA in 2008
Click for source image No red dots on this map. The map above appears to be representing Weather Service Forecast Office forecast zones, though I’m not absolutely sure since no…
How did the El Chichón and Pinatubo volcanic eruptions affect global temperature records? – Part 2
Guest post by Steve Goddard UPDATE 1-15-08: I tried an experiment which some of the null questioners may find convincing. I took all of the monthly data from 1978 to…
Distribution analysis suggests GISS final temperature data is hand edited – or not
UPDATE: As I originally mentioned at the end of this post, I thought we should “give the benefit of the doubt” to GISS as there may be a perfectly rational…
How did the El Chichón and Pinatubo volcanic eruptions affect global temperature records?
The UAH Satellite Temperature Record With Volcanic Noise Outliers Filtered Out A guest post by Steven Goddard I’ve often wondered what the UAH global temperature record would look like if the…

Can El Nino Events Explain All of the Global Warming Since 1976? – Part 2
Guest post by Bob Tisdale INTRODUCTION The first part of this post, Can El Nino Events Explain All of the Global Warming Since 1976? – Part 1, should be read…
Another promise of a flying car – sigh
All thorough my childhood and adolescence I was a keen fan of all sorts of science magazines including Scientific American (the Amateur Scientist was my favorite SciAm column because it…

Can El Nino Events Explain All of the Global Warming Since 1976? – Part 1 A guest post by Bob Tisdale UPDATE 1 (January 12, 2009): In my extremely brief…
Mauna Loa CO2 record posts smallest yearly gain in its history – maybe
UPDATE: I received a reply tonight from Pieter Tans, who is the manager for the MLO data, it is another error in presenting the data, similar to what happened with…
Polar Sea Ice Changes are Having a Net Cooling Effect on the Climate
A guest post by Steven Goddard One of the most widely discussed climate feedbacks is the albedo effect of polar sea ice loss. Ice has a relatively high albedo (reflectance)…
What is the red dot?
A simple question; what is that red dot on the map? I was looking at the CONUS map browser depicting the 2008 temperature departure from normal provided by NOAA’s High…
