I don't believe 2009 was "another record". Nor were the past years GISS claimed were new records. Anything coming out of groups run by James Hansen, Gavin Schmidt, Phil Jones, etc I consider totally untrustworthy. If it were true that we were setting record high temperatures, Kevin Trenberth wouldn't have admitted privately just this October that we're in a period where warming is absent and its a travesty that we can't explain it. No one who really thinks we're in the warmest year yet would have said that. I do trust Spencer's NOAA satellite numbers and I trust Richard Lindzen: drroyspencer.com “There has been no [surface-measured] warming since 1997 and no statistically significant warming since 1995,” observes Massachusetts Institute of Technology meteorologist Richard Lindzen. “According to satellite data, global warming stopped about 10 years ago and there’s no way to know whether it’s happening now,” says former NASA Senior Scientist for Climate Studies Roy Spencer. .... sroblog.com
