According to
GISS trend map from 1970 to 2006 we've seen a warming of 0.73 C. Even with my oversimplifications and estimates to skew the number higher, we see the predicted increase is less than half of the observed.
Brandon did compare the BEST trend with
the GISS trend in the city of Springfield.
Correction to comment that landed in moderation: «Brandon did NOT compare the BEST trend with
the GISS trend in the city of Springfield.»
The GISS trend since 1979 is almost exactly the same as the RSS and Hadley trends, i.e. 0.16 deg per decade.
You appear to have trouble recognising that short term trends can be highly volatile so it «s quite conceivable that
the GISS trend is ~ 0.1 deg different to the others especially since it started from a relatively lower base in 1998.
The GISS trend at the Arctic was about the same for the 1910 - 35 period as it was for the 1978 - 2007 period.
If we compare there «land only», the situation does not differ much: — SH land UAH6.0: 0.142 — SH land GISS: 0.104 because here too, UAH's trend is higher than GISS (as opposed to the Northern Hemisphere, where
GISS trends are way higher than UAH's, for both land + ocean and land - only).
Bottomline is that
the GISS trends for Springfield match the BEST trends for Springfield.

While periods of increased and decreased warming exist over the 132 - year period, the linear rate is still ~ 0.6 C / century, and the most recent monthly
GISS values fall right on the linear
trend (the linear
trend value for the Feb. 2012 temperature anomaly is +0.38 C, while the last two months have been +0.35 and +0.40 C.)
Those who are crowing about the recent «cooling» need only do one thing: pick a set of temperature anomalies, Hadley or
GISS, for example, and plot 10 year and 30 year
trends.
The first 50 years (my longer term model was based on
GISS land station data) had something like a 0.15 C upward
trend due to increased solar activity, compared to a ~ 0.10 C anthropogenic contribution.
On your further claim that the RSS data is consistent with the models, please provide us with
GISS plots of the tropospheric and lower stratospheric layer average temperature data
trends (corresponding to their weighting functions TLS; TTS; TMT and TLT).
I quantified the volcanic bias to account for about 0.04 C / decade of the 0.16 C / decade
trend (global
GISS land + ocean starting 1979).
If one plots the records from
GISS, HADCru, RSS and UAH;
GISS is the outlier, and three of the four primary global temperature measuring systems show a decrease over the most recent six years and a downward
trend over the past decade; not that this establishes a significant
trend yet.
Well when I look at it the
GISS decadal, climate only, signal
trend, matches the weather and climate decadal signal
trend.
However in the first decade which
GISS forecasts, rather than backcasts, this opposite
trend in signals emerges.
But models are not tuned to the
trends in surface temperature, and as Gavin noted before (at least for the
GISS model), the aerosol amounts are derived from simulations using emissions data and direct effects determined by changes in concentrations.
He says «Well when I look at it the
GISS decadal, climate only, signal
trend, matches the weather and climate decadal signal
trend.
If it turns out that the choices made by CRU,
GISS, NOAA fall on the «maximize historical
trends» end of the scale, that will not help their perceived credibility for obvious reasons.
However, at least with NASA
GISS, it would appear that there is no statistical basis as of yet to claim that the
trend in warming has reversed itself, slowed or accelerated from what it was beginning in 1975.
The figure below shows these linear

Take (in my case) the

It's a nice visual demonstration of the robustness of the temperature record — note how quickly the homogenized * and * raw data warming -

trend.
For
GISS, the linear

The data analysis in this paper mainly concerned the
trends over land, thus a key assumption for this study appears to rest solely on a personal communication from an economics professor purporting to be the results from the
GISS coupled climate model.
As Hansen indeed only used rural stations for his global temperature
trend outside the USA, I need to change the challenge: find out the station density of rural stations in the
GISS database for the tropics (20N - 20S or 30N - 30S) where in the 1979 - 2005 period the data show some reliability... Good luck with that!

My question: The

These three data sets are loaded into a computer analysis program — available for public download from the
GISS web site — that calculates
trends in temperature anomalies relative to the average temperature for the same month during 1951 - 1980.
Anyhow it makes clear why
GISS temperature are corrupted, why NOAA is telling us year after year that the
trends are above normal, why the Media are biased, and why our politicians are acting crazy.
GISS normally quotes
trends from the 1970s onward, and the adjusted
trend is actually fairly steep during that time period.
