Dr. Hansen says that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if everyone else agrees that 2010 is the hottest year, but RSS has 2010 considerably cooler than 1998. Temperatures have plummeted since mid-November, so it would require an extraordinary extra-terrestrial event to make Hansen’s statement correct . HadCRUT also shows 1998 much warmer than 2010.
Dr. Hansen is full of you-know-what!
I presume that the HadCRUT figures are pre fiddling… err I mean justifiable adjustment for satellite ocean temperatures?
TinyCO2:
I think HADCROU uses HADSST rather than satellite sea surface temperatures. We all know how reliable it is to extrapolate results based on measuring less than 1% of the area being described.
HadCRUT also shows 1998 much warmer than 2010.
Well…. ya…… at least at this point.
Is it possible to see 1998 vs 2014 with similar charts?
