Please notice that all Steven Goddard is doing here is reading the data from charts published by GISS and UAH. The GISS chart is the one you posted. The UAH equivalent chart is completely different for the period 1980 - 2008. This is divergence, no? Divergence Between GISS and UAH since 1980 Posted on January 17, 2009 by Anthony Watts Guest post by Steven Goddard The GISS website shows the graph below, which indicates a steady, steep warming trend over the last 30 years. The monthly average anomaly for 2008 (0.44) is 0.26 degrees warmer than the monthly average anomaly for 1980 (0.18.) Data obtained from here: woodfortrees.org data.giss.nasa.gov By contrast, the UAH monthly average anomaly for 2008 (0.05) is 0.04 degrees cooler than the UAH monthly average anomaly for 1980 (0.09.) Again, data obtained from here: woodfortrees.org woodfortrees.org This 1980-2008 discrepancy between GISS and UAH is important, as it is nearly equal to the claimed warming trend since 1980. wattsupwiththat.com
