Sorry Carl, but most of that is just not true. the truth is simple. 2012 was the hottest year on record globally.

The arctic ice pack melted and 1.5 standard deviations below the mean!

Take a look at these:


If you have any doubt the balance of the globe has warmed over the last century, view this chart: washingtonpost.com

Scroll down and look at arctic ice melt this year and last. And we got a late start to summer, but it was hot as hell when it came.

Actually, statisticians can evaluate all the models and determine when they are all bullshit. All I have read says all the models are bullshit. Models is all the church of AGW have.

Also the visibility and breath of data collected by satellites that will be extending over more decades allow for detailed analysis of patterns.

Are the other longer patterns than the 30 year Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Maybe smaller in amplitude.
Anyone now can get that data. And the source code of that analysis programs.

Monthly Browse Imageshttp://www.ssmi.com/msu/msu_data_monthly.html www.ssmi.com/msu/msu_data_monthly.html

Monthly maps of MSU brightness temperatures and brightness temperature anomalies for channels TLT, TMT, TTS and TLS are available on this website, and from our FTP server (ftp.ssmi.com/msu). Each monthly map is a 144 x 72 (2.5 degree resolution) gridded dataset of brightness temperatures. Brightness temperatures are adjusted to correspond to a local time of midnight using our monthly diurnal cycle climatology. Brightness temperature anomalies are the difference between the monthly brightness temperatures and the average value for that month (found by averaging that month from 1979 through 1998).

Each monthly image consists of the average brightness temperature or brightness temperature anomaly. The scale for each map is located at the bottom of the map for reference. Missing data are shown in grey. We do not provide monthly means poleward of 82.5 degrees due to difficulties in merging measurements in these regions, and because these regions are not sampled by all central fields of view.

Monthly Binary Data Files Each binary data file located on our MSU FTP site consists of a 144 x 72 x 372 array of 4 byte real numbers. The first two indices correspond to longitude and latitude (at 2.5 degree resolution), and the last index is the month number, starting in January 1978. The first 10 months contain no valid data, but are included so that the first month corresponds to the first month of the year. The files are also padded with empty data to fill in months through the end of the current year.

Brightness temperature anomalies:

Monthly brightness temperature minus the average values for that month, averaged from 1979 through 1998.

(e.g. the average of January, 1984 minus the average of every January from 1979 through 1998, inclusive.)

Monthly binary data are available in the /msu/data directory of our FTP Server (ftp.ssmi.com/msu/data).

Read routines written in Fortran, C, IDL and Matlab are available in the /msu/support directory (ftp.ssmi.com/msu/support).
