The global-average lower tropospheric temperature anomaly in October 2009 fell from +0.42 deg. C in September to +0.28 deg. C in October. The tropical and Northern Hemisphere were responsible for this cooling.
The global-average sea surface temperature anomalies in October continued their fall from the peak in July, despite the irregular onset of El Nino conditions:
The daily running 3-day average SSTs through early November shows no let-up in this cooling:
As usual, the linear trend lines in the previous two figures should not be construed as having any predictive power whatsoever — they are for entertainment purposes only.
Why are people arguing that because the temperature anomaly has risen by 0.28 degrees, as has EVERY month this year, that the planet is cooling? What am I missing?
And hasn’t the running 13month average been above 0.0 since 1995?
How can people not see this?
