If memory serves, apparently the DMI are warmists. Regardless, alarmists don’t seem to give much credence to their data, since it shows the Arctic sliding into a deep freeze. They prefer to rely on those that don’t even have thermometers up there.
So the question is: do you trust the Danes that use instrument readings or GISS that extrapolates? I will stick with temperature readings from real instruments instead of an office that has James Hansen and Gavin Schmidt working at it.
Here’s a look at who Gavin Schmidt is for those who’ve never seen him:
The Danes are also extrapolating. “The daily mean temperature of the Arctic area […] is estimated from the average of the 00z and 12z analysis for all model grid points inside that area.”
Correct me if wrong Steve (or anyone), but when the Arctic Oscillation is negative, the Arctic typically gets warmer as the cold air moves south. Looking at both poles if I didn’t know better we may be witnessing the setup for a temperature crash in the coming months unlike anything seen in the last 30+ years of weather observations.
What I see is a general “flattening out” or the warmest temps cooling off and the coolest temps warming up.
Does this then imply a “stabilizing” of temperatures because the globe is in a transition from heating mode to cooling mode…..shouldn’t be more than a couple of years and we shall see.

Note how Gavin Schmidt continually looks down, not making eye contact.
Gavin is reading his answers from his puppet master! He is using an Iphone to receive textd answers from Joe Romm!
Funny.
But I was meaning he is likely lying so can’t make eye contact. Whereas John Christy continually makes eye contact.
The Danes are also extrapolating. “The daily mean temperature of the Arctic area […] is estimated from the average of the 00z and 12z analysis for all model grid points inside that area.”
I can’t locate the graph at the moment, but GISS has Arctic 2010 temps the opposite sign of DMI; completely disconnected.
