Areas covered with sea-ice are not counted in the "global" average temperature. As sea-ice increases, more data go missing, hence the gray areas. Meanwhile, the adjusted data get hotter and hotter and sea-ice increases. That strikes me as odd.

BTW, you didn't print shit. You copy-and-pasted. I'll copy and paste a quote for you. "Global temperature anomaly estimates are a product, not a measurement. The first thing to remember is that an estimate of how much warmer one year is than another in the global mean is just that, an estimate. We do not have direct measurements of the global mean anomaly, rather we have a large database of raw measurements at individual locations over a long period of time, but with an uneven spatial distribution, many missing data points, and a large number of non-climatic biases varying in time and space. To convert that into a useful time-varying global mean needs a statistical model, good understanding of the data problems and enough redundancy to characterise the uncertainties." Dr. Gavin Schmidt from NASA GISS. Satellites show no trend. Where's the tropospheric hot spot? The surface estimate you "post" is just that, a fabricated surface estimate.
