The Shindell climate sensitivity paper: another 'GISS miss'
There was lots of breathless anticipation last week over the Drew Shindell paper on climate sensitivity, which was embargoed until 1800GMT on Sunday (see the embargoed PR from Nature here),…
January 2014 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
Initial Notes: This post contains graphs of running trends in global surface temperature anomalies for periods of 13+ and 16+ years using GISS global (land+ocean) surface temperature data. They indicate…
Why Aren’t Global Surface Temperature Data Produced in Absolute Form?
The title question often appears during discussions of global surface temperatures. That is, GISS, Hadley Centre and NCDC only present their global land+ocean surface temperatures products as anomalies. The questions…
Another Year, Another Nail in the CAGW Coffin (Now Includes December Data)
Image Credit: WoodForTrees.org Guest Post By Werner Brozek, Edited By Just The Facts CAGW refers to Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. Few people doubt that humans have some influence on climate,…
Also-Rans: NCDC and GISS Global Surface Temperatures Finish 4th and 7th for 2013
Not a win, place or show between them. In other words, global surface temperatures are still stalled in the post-1997/98-El-Niño era. They are patiently waiting for another strong El Niño…
November 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
In addition to their monthly global land-ocean temperature index (LOTI) data, GISS also lists quarterly and two annual (December to November and January to December) data. (Source here.) The annual…
October 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
The following graph is of annual global surface temperature anomalies, including year-to-date 2013 values. The base years for anomalies are 1981-2010. The GISS and NCDC data run through October 2013,…
September 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
Sorry this is so late. The NCDC and GISS updates were delayed by the government shutdown. Because it is so late, it includes the September 2013 HADCRUT4 data from the…
July 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
My apologies for the delay. I was waiting for the NCDC to update their data webpage here. As of this morning, the NCDC has not updated it, so I used…
June 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
Initial Notes: This post contains graphs of running trends in global surface temperature anomalies for periods of 12+ and 16 years using HADCRUT4 data. They indicate that we have not…
A frank admission about the state of modeling by Dr. Gavin Schmidt
This is something I never expected to see in print. Climate modeler Dr. Gavin Schmidt of NASA GISS comments on the failure of models to match real world observations.
February 2013 Global Land+Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly Update
It has been a while since I’ve presented the GISS, UK Met Office and NCDC global land surface air temperature plus sea surface temperature products. I’ve decided to add them…
How well did Hansen (1988) do?
Guest Post by Ira Glickstein. The graphic from RealClimate asks “How well did Hansen et al (1988) do?” They compare actual temperature measurements through 2012 (GISTEMP and HadCRUT4) with Hansen’s…
"A [Junk] Scientist’s Misguided Crusade" Against the Keystone XL Pipeline

Pot, Kettle, James Hansen, censorship, NASA and EPA
Readers may recall this oh so terrible squashing of free speech by the White House limiting NASA public employee Dr. James Hansen’s ability to talk to the media. It seems…
Japan's 'Cool Hand Luke' moment for surface temperature
At NASA’s Climate 365, there is an interesting story posted with this statement and a graph: Some say scientists can’t agree on Earth’s temperature changes Each year, four international science…
Sunday Silliness – Kenji takes on the UCS Chicken Little
Josh provides this updated cartoon which was originally intended to be a Friday Funny last week. The reason for this cartoon about the Union of Concerned Scientists will become clear…
The NYT corrects a global temperature mistake – meanwhile, James Hansen's 'Jor-el' complex worsens
First, here is a letter from Harold Ambler which went ignored, he writes: When I found a rather major error in a New York Times article about climate change, I…
Hansen's NASA GISS – cooling the past, warming the present
The Climate of Gavin: How GISS Have Changed The Temperature Record Since 2008 Guest post by Paul Homewood I ran a post yesterday, showing how the latest version of GISSTEMP had…
Quote of the week – Hansen concedes the age of flatness
Dr. James Hansen and Reto Ruedy of NASA GISS have written a paper (non peer reviewed) with a remarkable admission in it. It is titled Global Temperature Update Through 2012. Here…
Antarctic warming courtesy of Mr. Fix-it
Just a little something he threw together Guest Post by David Middleton First the breath-taking headlines… Scientists Report Faster Warming in Antarctica, New York Times (WUWT commentary) West Antarctic Ice…
How GISS creates long term Antarctic warming
