NCAR is using a different baseline and data set. They point out: Since there is no universally accepted definition for Earth’s average temperature, several different groups around the world use slightly different methods for tracking the global average over time, including: NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies NOAA National Climatic Data Center UK Met Office Hadley Centre The important point is that the trends that emerge from year to year and decade to decade are remarkably similar—more so than the averages themselves. This is why global warming is usually described in terms of anomalies (variations above and below the average for a baseline set of years) rather than in absolute temperature.
