Curious whether there is US only data?
Looking at the data, it seems like there was only a slight cooling in the northern and southern hemispheres, yet the tropics showed an impressive gain of nearly 0.35 degrees.
In theory, that should’ve been enough to spike the temperatures and show an apparent resumption in warming overall, but the global temperatures are down slightly.
So what exactly could’ve happened to offset enough of the tropical warming so as to actually show a tick down?
UAH Global temaperture update
Need to fix the spelling before Realclimate makes it a headline.
I should let you know that my global data set shows cooling at a rate of -0.014K/yr since 2000.
UAH results are also out compared to 4 other data sets:
http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/hadcrut4gl/from:1987/to:2015/plot/hadcrut4gl/from:2002/to:2015/trend/plot/hadcrut3gl/from:1987/to:2015/plot/hadcrut3gl/from:2002/to:2015/trend/plot/rss/from:1987/to:2015/plot/rss/from:2002/to:2015/trend/plot/hadsst2gl/from:1987/to:2015/plot/hadsst2gl/from:2002/to:2015/trend/plot/hadcrut4gl/from:1987/to:2002/trend/plot/hadcrut3gl/from:1987/to:2002/trend/plot/hadsst2gl/from:1987/to:2002/trend/plot/rss/from:1987/to:2002/trend/plot/uah/from:2002/to:2015/trend
So, out of a total of 6 data sets, UAH is the only one showing a warming trend. The other 5 all show that it is cooling.
Sorry, Roy. There must be something wrong with your sensors, too…..

Yes, let’s put an f-stop to that.
That super el Nino is building to a terrifying crescendo.
(Not.)
People are ingesting a dangerous official pollutant in carbonated soda drinks. There should be a warning label on all carbonated soda drinks indicating the content of CO2 and dangers of it.
aperture?
temaperture?
The data shown show a warming of the stratosphere which I thought was a no-no for AGW theory. But someone else says there are other datasets showing cooling. Where is found the definitive information?
I’m just a layman so maybe I am missing the obvious but why does the graph use a 13 month average (as opposed to a 12 month for example)?
Don’t forget the warning labels for dihydrogen monoxide, too.
The drop was not much. However with every month that is below the 1998 average of 0.419, it is that much harder to break a record. In the case of UAH version 5.6, the average after six months is 0.242. So to break a record in 2014, the average for each of the next six months needs to be 0.596. In other words, every monthly record from July to December needs to be smashed to set a record. The same applies to RSS.
However GISS is different. After five months, its average is an extremely small and statistically insignificant 0.001 C above its all time high average so it is in first place after five months.
Coke and Pepsi should be regulated under the Clean Air Act just like coal fired power plants.
Sorry, getting late misunderstood heading for stratospheric temperature Must go to specsavers.

Temaperture – that’s a pretty good one. That ‘a’ had to wander backwards three letters…
Thanks Bob.
Bob; not exactly a sign of imminent cooling, but on the flip side this likely means another big burp of plant fertilizing Co2.
Is it more than coincidental then that we’re seeing another big Co2 burp and our cottonwoods and mulberries producing out of season, I’m by no means saying they started unusually early (the start being at the normal seasonal times), but more in the way in that they’re refusing to stop.
We’ve had cotton flying for at least 5 weeks now and the mulberries dropping for about the same period, this being the first time in my memory I can recall their production extending into July. I also don’t know if it’s due to the lack of a major heatwave, but our clematis plant has also decided it’s not going dormant this year and is instead continuing to produce a small trickle of flowers.
Over the last years, I can’t help but wonder if the Co2 levels are high enough now to produce an upwards step in productivity for the majority of plant life in most areas, it sure seems that way when we see an increasing trend of sections of trees becoming a brighter shade of green with larger leaves than the usual dark green (though we’ve also seen a negative impact from the recent drought in the form of tree death for some folks).

That sounds like you don’t know

Apologies if you do.
Just an observation… European Space Agency has recently stated the surface temperature data is both “the worst indicator of global climate that can be used” and “the most accurate means of discerning the extent of global warming”. So is it the best or the worst? Looks like a difficult case of pausal communication problem syndrome.
Coke and Pepsi should be regulated under the Clean Air Act just like coal fired power plants.
H2o should be regulated also since that is even a greater pollutant than co2. Let’s reduce the h2o by 30% in the atmosphere, that should save us all…god bless our government for all they do for us……
You can have my Coke when you pry it from my cold dead hands…
And the estimated average temperature is? In degrees C.
These anomalies are value free without the important value.
+0.3C from what?
With what error range on these “estimates”.
Yes consider me both surly and aggravating, but this value free comparison of a deviation from a moving average composed from data with an almost incurable number of problems, being used as a tool to facilitate the looting of me and mine, stinks.
Anomalies of 0.01 detail from data with error bars of??
1981-2010.
I tend towards the view that no data should be published without the error bandwidth ascribed to it, and an explanation as to why and how the error bandwidth is assessed.
