2014 might be 0.01C warmer than 2010!
New devastating evidence of the horrifyingly rapid pace of global warming has climate scientists and their hangers-on in a frenzy of hysteria. Although 2014 is not yet over, the Met Office has issued a Press Release saying that according to the HADCRUT4 system devised by Phil Jones and his friends, 2014 looks like it is on course to be 0.57C above the long term average, smashing the record of 0.56C set in 2010. If correct, that’s a massive increase, 0.01C of warming in just 4 years. If warming continues at this rate, the world could face a catastrophic temperature rise of 0.25C over the course of this century.…
No Record Temperatures According To Satellites
Moreover, despite El Nino conditions for most of this year, this year is only running a modest 0.03C warmer than last year.
RSS data for November is still awaited, but is unlikely to alter the October YTD position, which ranked 2014 as only 7th warmest.

What the BBC also failed to tell us was that there are large uncertainties in the surface datasets, which they are reporting on. Colin Morice of the Met Office warns:
Record or near-record years are interesting, but the ranking of individual years should be treated with some caution because the uncertainties in the data are larger than the differences between the top ranked years. We can say this year will add to the set of near-record temperatures we have seen over the last decade.

Climatologist Dr. Roy Spencer: ‘Why 2014 Won’t Be the Warmest Year on Record’ – ‘We are arguing over the significance of hundredths of a degree’
Spencer: ‘The two main research groups tracking global lower-tropospheric temperatures (our UAH group, and the Remote Sensing Systems [RSS] group) show 2014 lagging significantly behind 2010 and especially 1998’:
‘With only 3 months left in the year, there is no realistic way for 2014 to set a record in the satellite data.’
the alarmists will continue to use the outdated, spotty, and heavily-massaged thermometer data to support their case. For a group that trumpets the high-tech climate modeling effort used to guide energy policy — models which have failed to forecast (or even hindcast!) the lack of warming in recent years — they sure do cling bitterly to whatever will support their case.
As British economist Ronald Coase once said, “If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything.”
So, why are the surface thermometer data used to the exclusion of our best technology — satellites — when tracking global temperatures? Because they better support the narrative of a dangerously warming planet.

Warmists trying to tout ‘Hottest Year Ever’ – ‘Unfortunately, the satellite data does not agree’

Super Hot Antarctica Blows Away All Sea Ice Records

Gavin says half of coastal Antarctica was super-duper hot last month, which explains why it is blowing away all records for the amount of sea ice.

Analysis if ‘hottest’ August ever claim: ‘Keep Extrapolating Until You Get The Answer Politicians Are Looking For’
Keep Extrapolating Until You Get The Answer Politicians Are Looking For
http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/keep-extrapolating-until-you-get-the-answer-politicians-are-looking-for
In order to reach the desired”hottest August ever” – start at 0.66, extrapolate that out 1200 km to 0.68, and then extrapolate that out across multiple regions of the planet to get to 0.70. As a final step, you then ignore the huge discrepancy vs multiple sources of much more accurate satellite data – and go […]

NOAA: 28,504 Low Max Records Set in U.S. in Last 365 Days
Via: http://sunshinehours.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/noaa-28504-low-max-records-set-in-last-365-days/
28,504 Low Max Records were set in last 365 days according to the NOAA.
A “Low Max” means that the maximum temperatures for the day was the lowest it has ever been.
This indicates daytime cooling.
Only 13205 High Max records were set. That is over a 2:1 ratio. Brrr.
