Interesting that although the UK and Ireland set records this month, they show little to no overall warming for July.

“Does it not seem odd to you that the uncertainties you show are 30 – 50% of the anomalies?”

They are not anomalies, they’re trends. But no, it doesn’t seem odd becasue we are talking about small parts of the earth with a high degree of variability. Larger areas will tend to have smaller uncertainties in the trend.

“Exactly where do measurements of one-hundredths of degree originate? ”

From the UAH data set. Each grid cell is given to 100th of a degree – I’m then doing an area weighted average by country – just as I assume Spencer does for his estimates for USA, Canada etc. All given monthly values to 100th of a degree.

But, again, the thing you are are arguing about is not a monthly anomaly, it’s the trend over several decades.

“My research indicates that microwave sounders have a systematic uncertainty of something like 0.2 to 0.4 °C equivalent.”

If they are systematic they won’t affect the trend. Incidentally have you put your research to Dr Spencer? For some reason you keep attacking me for using the one data set that is published in WUWT, as if if it is my responsibility. If you have a problem you need to discuss is with he authors, not me.

“Notice the number of decimal digits for the uncertainty. That is where values should be rounded to.”

They are. Both trend and uncertainty are rounded to 2 decimal places.
