UAH Global temperature up slightly in September

JamesD says: “Drat, the only temp data that I trusted now has to be adjusted. Dr. Spencer has been doing Yeoman’s work, and I trust he’ll do a good job in correct the drifts. But it still sucks. All the land data has all sorts of corrections which invariably make the past colder and ignores UHI. And now the satellites need corrections. The satellite will still be the best, but it sucks regardless.”
Do you really imagine there were no adjustments before today ?!
You need to read up on how they measure temperature from satellites.
All we can do is read up on how it’s done and decide whether we have confidence in the person doing the job. I believe the Roy Spencer is a trustworthy scientist doing objective science to get the best from the satellite data.
His adjustments are usually small and are not always in the same direction. He is open an responds to criticism. That all gives me confidence.
If you want a real laugh , try digging into how they work out sea level from a satellite.
I think UAH LTL is one of best guides we have , unfortunately it is still rather a short period of data to get the big picture of a system that has a dominant cycle of about 60y.

P.Solar says
I would expect, from patterns in longer datasets that that cooling will continue until around 2040, give or take the short term ups and downs.
Henry says
it seems you are correct on that statement, give or take a few years,
but how did you figure that out>?

The ‘up’ is just about over. It looks like a strong La Nina may be on the way.

HenryP says: ”My own dataset shows global temps down about 0.2 degrees C since 2000”
Henry. what was the GLOBAL temperature for year 2000, so you know that is gone down by 0,2C?! Do you believe in what you are driveling?!
#2:”cooling will continue until around 2040”
Henry, your crystal ball has lots of thin air for harvesting from…. can you tell us the wining numbers of lottery, at least for the next 4 months?! Would be much easier, than to con yourself for 30y in advance. Meteorologist have problem predicting the temp for their local area past next Monday… you can predict 30y in advance; FOR THE WHOLE PLANET…? Did you still Tony’s tarot cards? Shame, shame!!!

ehhhh…..
I don’t know exactly the global temperature, it is not important, is it,? …but I know the difference;

Study statistics, do all the courses, especially how to do regression and distributions, learn all about sampling and sampling technigues, probability theory, tests and hypotheses, etc
otherwise you will never be able to evaluate if your sample is representative and whether the change observed is significant…
Once you have done all those stats courses we can probably talk.
oh, and whilst you are at it, change your name, because by addressing me with that name you seem to start off by indicating that you are denying what I have measured which is another form of saying that I am lying. Not very fruitful if you want to engage in serious debate with scientists. In fact, next time I will probably ignore you if you ask me something again.

You know the difference, from WHAT?! Henry, one cannot compare one unknown with another unknown; you should know that much. (as: you cannot know the distance between you and my house – if you are lost, and don’t know where my house is) Honest person would never compare the difference between two unknowns. If you are a genuine scientist; then I must be the Pope of Rome.
If the temp between two monitoring places of 100km, temp goes up by 2C – between the next two monitoring places of 1300km goes down by 1C – No honest statistician would use that data; unless the difference in size of different areas is supplied. B] in-between the smaller space of monitoring in 100km radius; there are 500000 different variation in temperatures, and changes every 10-15 minutes. C] the ‘’hottest’’ minute of the day that is taken in consideration, is not at the ‘’same’’ minute every day. D] some days, between 9-12 noon is only a degree or two different than the hottest minute – other times is difference up to 6-7C – normal statistician would have demanded that information first; before touching the calculator. Because all the minutes in the other 3h are much more important, than that one single minute; just because is the hottest,.
Thermometer is good for monitoring room temp, but on the open; in 800000km2 one thermometer…? they monitor on 4000 places, for the WHOLE planet…? Same as getting the number of apples individual tree of those 6 apple-trees produced – to ‘’statistically’’ calculate: how many grains of sand Sahara has…? 4000 thermometers are not sufficient to monitor the temperature in every room of Hilton hotels… those rooms say nothing about the temp in Patagonia, Easter Island, or New Guinea. Henry, when blindfolded, you don’t count the sheep and the flies, just to make fool of yourself and to harm the innocent. If it shows COLDER on the 0,00000000000000000001% of the planet’s surface area which is monitored; how do you know that on the other 99,99999999999000000% of the planet, where isn’t monitored; IS NOT GONE WARMER?! Where did you get your diploma from, in Disneyland? B] you don’t want to answer next time? WRONG!!! You can’t answer; because: when you are awakened on your sandpit and presented the reality / real proofs, facts -> you are scared from the reality.
Water off South Africa is colder by 10C, because of more OZONE?! Henry; because of lies like that – trillion dollars has being ripped off, from the working / honest people – children are brainwashed in schools – because few thousand nutters like you are drowning in their own drivel – so; you are not just lying, but actively supporting the biggest ever robbery.
What makes sharp decrease in water temp off Australia and off South Africa is: 1] increase of ‘’dry heat’’ in those two places -> that extra dry heat; for example, from Australia – destroys the moisture west over the Indian ocean -> less moisture goes south to Antarctic; to replenish the ice, to cover the surrounding waters around Antarctic. B] when current takes water from around Australia to Antarctic – there is not enough ice, to shield the water from the unlimited coldness in the air (water temp by the time reaches Antarctic’s beaches is 3-4-5C ABOVE zero / the air temp is minus -30 – -40C – without ice as shield / insulator -> that water absorbs much more coldness and is taking it north towards south Africa. 2] Because the shonky ‘’scientists’’ from the organized crime, that you fully support, are vandalizing the ice, with ice Crusher ships making lots of corridors -> then brittle ice brakes off 1000000 times larger chunks -> much more water is exposed to the unlimited coldness -> currents take much colder water north -> colder water = less evaporation = less moisture for creation for next season’s ice (chain reaction) So, blaming ozone, is camouflaging the real problems – your lies are doing much bigger damages than your twisted mind can comprehend. (Your GLOBAL cooling is inside your sick mind; not on other people’s globe). Have a nice day, Henry.

I suspect “stephanthedenier” is an example of Poe’s Law (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poe's_Law). This term originally came from discussions of Creationist websites, and basically says that it is impossible to parody these sites as no matter what you say, someone, somewhere will believe it is serious.
“stephanthedenier” and his site are, I think, deliberate extreme exaggerations designed to parody the wilder end of the skeptic community with the intention of discrediting more rational skeptical objections by association.
