Update 2: A number of typos were found in this post. I’ve corrected them here and in the pdf version. A revised pdf copy is available here. I’ve removed the…
Northern Extratropical Sea Surface Temperatures Are Cool, But Not Abnormally So
Many persons visit the Unisys Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly webpage to check on the surface temperatures of the oceans. Some people prefer the webpage due to the color scaling, which…
NODC Provides 1st Quarter 2013 Ocean Heat Content Update & Alarmist Writes Science Fiction
This morning I found two emails in my inbox about an alarmist blog post that claims Big Jump in Ocean Warming, in response to the NODC’s recent quarterly update of…
GISS and NCDC Monthly Global Surface Temperature Update for April 2013
Sorry about missing the update for March. I waited patiently for the HadCRUT4 data to update on the Met Office’s old webpage (recently deleted), but hadn’t realized they’d posted the…
SkepticalScience Now Argues Against Foster & Rahmsorf (2011)
SkepticalScience recently produced a YouTube video which claimed to show that the rate of global warming has not slowed in recent years. See their post here, which states: This replicates…
Hurricane Main Development Region Sea Surface Temperatures & Anomalies – Plus a Couple of Other Regions

Multidecadal Variations and Sea Surface Temperature Reconstructions
UPDATE: I’ve added a link at the end of the post for those interested in a copy of it in .pdf format. ########### OVERVIEW This is a somewhat lengthy blog…
Introduction to the Hadley Centre’s HadCRUH Specific Humidity Dataset
UPDATE: I’ve added an animation to the end of the post. It illustrates the changes in specific humidity anomalies in response to the 1997/98 El Niño and the 1998-01 La…
Even More about Trenberth’s Missing Heat – An Eye Opening Comment by Roger Pielke Sr.
Roger Pielke Sr. was quoted in David Appell’s recent article Whither global warming? Has global warming slowed down? over at the Yale Forum on Climate Change & The Media. That…
SkepticalScience Still Misunderstands or Misrepresents the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
The author of the recent SkepticalScience post Distinguishing Between Short-Term Variability and Long-Term Trends, Dana Nuccitelli, still misunderstands or misrepresents El Niño and La Niña processes. Either way, he’s missed…
Open Letter to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)
Dear WMO: Thanks for furnishing the lovely graph of global temperature anomalies in your WMO Statement on Status of the Global Climate in 2012. I’ve reproduced it here. The caption…
Ocean Heat Content (0 to 2000 Meters) – Why Aren’t Northern Hemisphere Oceans Warming During the ARGO Era?
OVERVIEW Before the ARGO floats were deployed, there were so few temperature and salinity observations at depths below 700 meters that the NODC does not present ocean heat content data…
On Holland and Bruyère (2013) “Recent Intense Hurricane Response to Global Climate Change”
Alternate Title: Climate Science Community Continues to Lose Sight of Reality SkepticalScience is promoting the Holland and Bruyère (2013) paper Recent Intense Hurricane Response to Global Climate Change as proof…
Joe Romm Predicts “…All But Certain Ruin for Modern Civilization…” from a NOAA Fisheries Press Release
You can’t make this stuff up. The April 25, 2013 NOAA press release Sea Surface Temperatures Reach Highest Level in 150 Years on Northeast Continental Shelf has been getting coverage…
Dana Nuccitelli Misleads and Misinforms in His First Blog Post at The Guardian

Imagine What Would Happen If We Didn’t Have A Strong El Niño For 4 More Years
This is a cross post of my post titled El Niño-Southern Oscillation Then and Now. I’m presenting this for those who look for patterns. I see it only as a…
A Quick Comment about the PAGES Continental Temperature Reconstructions
Normally, I don’t bother to discuss paleoclimatological reconstructions. The reason: most try, some through questionable methods, to illustrate that the recent warming is unusual and could only be explained by…
