   lol, hottest year evuh! Well, the thermometer readings for Nov are still out, but the sat readings are in for both RSS and UAH. RSS comparison for 1998 vs 2010. If the formatting holds, The number protruding to the right is the anomaly it has to be for 2010 to equal 1998 avg. monthly temp anomaly.

   1998 0.55 0.64
   1998.08 0.736 0.588
   1998.17 0.586 0.652
   1998.25 0.858 0.546
   1998.33 0.668 0.588
   1998.42 0.568 0.535
   1998.5 0.606 0.608
   1998.58 0.573 0.583
   1998.67 0.494 0.525
   1998.75 0.461 0.293
   1998.83 0.196 0.312
   1998.92 0.312 0.738

   0.550667 0.53363

   1998 UAH 2010 UAH
   1998 0.582 0.648
   1998.08 0.753 0.603
   1998.17 0.528 0.653
   1998.25 0.77 0.501
   1998.33 0.645 0.534
   1998.42 0.562 0.436
   1998.5 0.51 0.489
   1998.58 0.518 0.511
   1998.67 0.458 0.603
   1998.75 0.416 0.426
   1998.83 0.192 0.381
   1998.92 0.277 0.426

   0.51758 0.5259

   UAH seems to have the only reasonable shot, but even that’s unlikely unless we get a sudden shift in the trends. I thought an increase in atmospheric CO2 was suppose to raise temps?

     Flipping heck, suyts.

     Give GISS and HADCRUT enough time to adjust the data.

       lol, yeh it only been over a week to average 30 whole days of temps. Those guys are pretty good until it comes to tricky maths such as division.

   lol, ok, the formatting didn’t hold. I should have used a space holder. RSS dec temp anomaly necessary to equal 1998 0.738 <—(ain't gonna happen), UAH dec temp anomaly necessary 0.426 <—–(could happen but not probable.)

   I just saw that places in Florida have averaged 12 degrees below normal for this December, with even colder weather coming next week. If we keep cooling at this rate, the Florda tourist (and citrus) industry is doomed!!!

   Keep in mind when there are large upward steps in LT temps it does not equate to warming; it is a release of heat from the oceans which means the earth is cooling translating to surface temps dropping rapidly. Look at what happened at the end of October, then again the end of November. http://discover.itsc.uah.edu/amsutemps/execute.csh?amsutemps

   See also AO
   http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/ao_index.html

   This ENSO cycle included a Modoki El Nino which envelops a larger area than a normal El Nino event. That could very well be part of the explanation for the plummeting surface temps once the LT began clearing out the heat. Also, IIRC, Modoki El Nino’s don’t typically result in La Nina.

   We have yet to experience the largest effects of this La Nina which has not yet hit bottom and in fact according to the most recent forecasts will drop significantly more in the coming month.

   I think there will be a warm period coming at the end of the month, then later in January we will really see La Nina rearing its ugly head.

   Difficult to forecast European weather, let alone temperatures.
