Very good! Thanks Anthony et al.
A question, Anthony. Were any of the surface air temp graphs corrected for bad sitings of surface stations?

Fantastic job JTF!!
Just great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all so much.
Thank you Anthony!
Extreme Weather Events
(Response to an article in The Australian 10-12-12)
It all started out with Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). When that was found to be too limiting it morphed into Anthropogenic Climate Change (ACC), so it didn’t matter if it got hotter or colder it was man’s fault and penance had to be paid. Unfortunately that didn’t grab the headlines or the purse strings so a new label came to the fore about a year ago; Extreme Weather Events (EWEs), which always grab the headlines. At least EWEs is an appropriate name for a mob of bleating sheep. And now at Doha a few nations, including Australia, but not countries such as NZ, USA, Canada Japan, China and Russia have agreed that compensation should be paid for natural EWEs such as floods in the Amazon, blizzards in Tibet or droughts in the Sahara. Now if only we could turn our Aussie politicians who agreed to this into wethers.
(For city folk who don’t know what ewes and wethers are look up your dictionary)
Great display Anthony.
Looks like you need to find a new source for drought info 1900 to present. The page you cite has been suspended. Must be very recent since you saw it.

Updated with the same graph from a different location. Thank you.
From a cursory scan of all those graphs, the only thing that seems to be trending up (from 1990 to today) is heavy rain events in the lower 48. Anyone here have some thoughts as to why that is happening?
How about a mention of “Flash Freezes” being mentioned on the extreme weather page. We are currently experiencing it where I live, absolutely incredible when you are exposed to the cold winds coming down from the Arctic with no buildings blocking those winds. (I was out for 5 minutes and my toes were numb!)
A question, Anthony. Were any of the surface air temp graphs corrected for bad sitings of surface stations?
A Rhetorical question, I’m sure. But since it’s NOAA data, it is clear that station siting HAS been accounted for. The well sited station trends have been carefully adjusted upwards to match the trends of the poorly sited stations. Sic.
I am curious if the information for Heavy Rain events has been normalized for a (possible) increasing number of sites taking the measurements? Rainfall can be very spotty, so if it has not been normalized for more sites taking measurements, the increase could be an artifact of the measuring methodology.
Ever notice when the data doesn’t fit the warming model, the graphs stop years ago. When is it acceptable for a government agency to be putting out information that is five years old as the last measurement mark. Examples being ; Annual Heat Wave Index, Severe Drought, US Hurricanes until 2010.
The doomsday forecast was more frequent hurricanes, wetter everywhere as ice melted and put more water vapor in the air inducing more rain clouds and runaway heat boiling us like frogs at 100C. Oooops the data says opposite so its is left out.

There has been considerable flurry of media articles about the alledged threat of global warming and the urgent need to take action to save the planet. One wonders where this misinformation is coming from because the observable data does not support this false alarmism .So what is really happening to global temperature?
The trend of annual global land temperature anomalies since 2005 or the last 10 years has been flat or in a pause, but regionally there is cooling in Asia and North America and warming in Europe .All other regions are flat with. In summary here is what is happening regionally.
Global -0.02 C/decade (flat)
Northern Hemisphere -0.05 C/decade (flat)
Southern Hemisphere +0.06 C/decade (flat)
North America -0.41 C/decade (cooling)
Asia -0.31 C/decade (cooling)
Europe + 0.39 C /decade (warming)
Africa + 0.08 C/decade (flat)
Oceania + 0.07C /decade (flat)
As can be seen from the attached graphs generated from NOAA CLIMATE AT A GLANCE web page data, Global and Northern Hemisphere annual or year –to-date land temperature anomalies for the last 10 years or since 2005 all show a flat trend ( no warming)
North America and United States land areas show a cooling trend already for 18 years or since 1997and 1998 ( no warming)
Asia shows a cooling trend since 2005 or the last 10 years (no warming)
Only Europe land area shows a warming trend mostly due to 2014 only. Yet even for Europe, the temperatures were flat for 9 of 10 years prior to 2014(2005-2013).
How can the short term warming in one regional land area only constitute “global” warming and a major imminent threat to mankind warranting drastic action by mankind? This appears to be an exaggeration of a non- existing threat. The world is watching what story or spin PARIS will tell.
More extreme events like this coming my friends.

It seems that many of the graphs on this page need updating as they are not showing on my device.
Jet streams are accelerated by mid-latitude oxygen/ozone conversion heat. They push meander loops in the Rossby waves. This exascerbates the extreme weather and pulls warm air across the Arctic sea ice. I have reexamined ozone formation, paramagnetic oxygen, and magnetic poles. Read my link and then let’s discuss a new approach to global climate change. https://www.harrytodd.org

This is an awesome resource! Thank you, WUWT
With more graphs and accurate data than you could shake a stick at, this presentation by Anthony and others would normally draw the debate to a conclusion. However, our experience of the Climate Warmistas is such that we may now expect it to bring forth from them an even more savage outburst of baseless bluster.
