GISS shows all of the US above normal in March.
NOAA shows about half the US normal to below normal, with portions of Montana and neighboring states ten degrees below normal. How on Earth did Hansen miss that? Ten degrees is a rather remarkable error.

How in H*ll does Hansen keep his job?
Have you ever considered he keeps his job precisely because of this?
Hansen, et al will do whatever they have to do to make every month record warm, regardless of whether it is hot or cold. The True Believers must be drooling with delight!
Hmm, “well Jim, Jim is life – but not as we know it.”

There is a new Hollywood Blockbuster coming out..
“THERMOMETRE 3, RISE OF THE SOHOTS”
GISS is baselined on 1951-1980
NOAA is baselined on 1971-2000
If you use the same baseline, GISS and NOAA are much more similar (bearing in mind that GISS is degrees C and NOAA is degrees F).

Drop cold temperature stations from the record and keep the warm ones, and voilà, you’ve got yourself some global warming!

Well, the only good thing that comes out of this is more proof Hansen is a liar and not to be trusted to make any scientific judgment whatsoever.
And still some naive people spring up to defend him. No names, no pack drill.
Hansen is comparing his data to 1951 to 1980 data, pre satellite, COLD PDO 90% OF THE TIME, Cold AMO 80% . He has free reign to adjust pre satellite temps DOWN and can not monkey with the 30 year record from 1980 on. Simple solution, keep adjusting down the colder period. No sweat.
Is is obviously despicable and non applicable for three reasons 1) The NATURAL DRIVERS which he wants us to ignore were stacked for cold. 2) The way of measuring temperatures then is different from now 3) He is simply doing whatever he wants and has license to get away with it, since he can reasonably argue it is “accepted” data
If he wants to truly compare, start the clock running in 1978 when satellites came on and watch it as the natural cycles change. But in his world of win at all costs, why would he do that when he has a herd of sheep following him that wish everyone else to become sheep with them.
In fact, that is what this whole thing comes down too, a few sheep herders leading unsuspecting sheep to the slaughter. Hansen, for whatever you wish to say about him, certainly uses his sheep-dogs ( things like this data) well to drive home his point. You gotta give him that.
Read the date its being compared too, and understand what they are doing with that period ( making it colder) and you have how he does it. And gets away with it

Joe:
In other words Hansen is only doing what he is being paid to do! Which has not been science for many years! Every thing he does and says promotes the need for more funding for NASA programs. He is like the guy on the corner with a sign and a tin cup telling his woes and asking for handouts.
Thanks Joe,
I did another post with GISS using a 1901-2000 baseline.
