My amateur spreadsheet tracking and projecting the monthly NASA GISS values suggests that while 2018 and 2019 are likely to be cooler than 2017, they may also be the last

As I understand it, they refer to the

[Response I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here, but if you feel that you can only assess whether
temperatures are changing by looking at 30 -
year averages, consider the following: Global mean

Claims made by sceptics that the effects of the current ENO as it enters a negative episode, since last
year, yielded
temperature anomalies much lower than in recent
years (in fact, very much
average at near zero), have been waved away by alarmists claiming that they are the result of «natural variability».

The focus on
anomalys has distracted from the most relevant metric, Global Annual

year for the last 10 and longer, meaning no «Plateau»..
did have some debatable aspects to do with the calculations and the lads quickly picked up my gaffe in saying the pre-1976 / GPCS
temperature data did have a downward trend overlooking the fact that M&Q used data from 1951 not the whole data from the beginning of the La Nina period in 1942; even so, despite there being a slight upward trend from 1951 -1975 [the
year before the GPCS], the
average temperature for this period is -0.194 C below the
anomaly base period of 1961 - 1990; the
average temperature from 1981 — 2005 is +0.315 C above the base period
average; the
average in the period between 1976 — 1980, the period of the GPCS, is 29.2 C above the base period
average; accusations of cherry picking and the artificiality of using seperate regressions for the pre and post GPCS period were levied; a Chow Test needs to be done;
-- denying that the «globally and annually

We (that includes you and me plus Hansen, Trenberth, Jones and the IPCC) don't have an earthly notion what is going to happen to our «globally and annually

years.
southern oscillation a large - scale atmospheric and hydrospheric fluctuation centered in the equatorial Pacific Ocean; exhibits a nearly annual pressure
anomaly, alternatively high over the Indian Ocean and high over the South Pacific; its period is slightly variable,
averaging 2.33
years; the variation in pressure is accompanied by variations in wind strengths, ocean currents, sea - surface
temperatures, and precipitation in the surrounding areas
One reason for this is that «global
temperature» varies significantly over the months of the
year due to seasonally varying Earth / sun geometry and the greater land mass in the Northern Hemisphere, so that any global
average of absolute
temperature, not
anomalies, will be considerably higher in NH summer than SH summer, and this will be true even in an unchanging climate.
In the context of the rest of the article, this apparently refers to the 16
year plateau (or hiatus) in global

temperature anomalies.

I'm very convinced that the physical process of global warming is continuing, which appears as a statistically significant increase of the global surface and tropospheric
temperature anomaly over a time scale of about 20
years and longer and also as trends in other climate variables (e.g., global ocean heat content increase, Arctic and Antarctic ice decrease, mountain glacier decrease on
average and others), and I don't see any scientific evidence according to which this trend has been broken, recently.
Despite these reclassifications, the general conclusions are similar from previous work: (1) global
temperature anomalies for each phase (El Niño, La Niña, and neutral) have been increasing over time and (2) on
average, global
temperatures during El Niño
years are higher than neutral
years, which in turn, are higher than La Niña
years.
Roger — I would argue that
temperatures aren't
averaged, and consequently
average temperature is not used to compute global delta T. Rather, what are
averaged are grid - based
temperature anomalies, so that it is change (delta T) in each region from one
year to the next that is used for
averaging rather than global
average temperatures.
For 2016 not to be a record,
temperature anomalies for the rest of the
year would have to
average below 0.61 °C, something that hasn't happened since 2008.
According to the NOAA's data,
anomalies calculated for 2017 were 1.5 degrees F (0.83 C) higher than the
average temperatures for all the
years in the 20th century.
If you are referring to the «globally and annually
averaged land and sea surface
temperature anomaly», then this indicator has shown «cooling» since the end of 2000 (12
years) and lack of warming since the end of 1997 (15
years).
As can be seen from the curve below, the HadCRUT3 «globally and annually

So, for example, HadCRU and GISS each provide a climatological datum of mean global
temperature for a single
year and present it as a difference (i.e. an
anomaly) from the
average mean global
temperature of a 30
year period.
4) With further 10
years of human emission of CO2, since 2000, there was little warming with

With three - quarters of 2013 already in the books, we can make a pretty good guess as to what the global
average temperature anomaly is going to be at
years» end, and perform the same analysis we described above, but ending in the

If we are in a long - term warming trend that will last hundreds of
years more, I'm afraid debates about
anomaly charts, and whether or not a
year set a new record, are mental masturbation — some decades will have warming, other decades will have cooling, but record high
average temperatures will occur regularly or irregularly while the Modern Warming
temperature uptrend is in progress. . .
In this animation, the Earth rides the «Global

Global
temperatures usually are described in terms of the surface air
temperature anomaly, the deviation of the
temperature at each site from a mean of many
years that is
averaged over the whole world, both land and oceans.
Doing this on a
year - to -
year basis shows NO apparent correlation with the absolute «globally and annually
averaged land and sea surface
temperature anomaly» (i.e. HadCRUT3), but does show a weak correlation with the CHANGE in
temperature from the previous
year, for example:
Figure 1 shows the impact on the global
average temperature trend for all trend lengths between 10 and 35
years (incorporating our educated guess as to what the 2013
temperature anomaly will be), and compares that to the distribution of climate model simulations of the same period.
