The graph above is the GISS 1200km temperature anomaly profile (by longitude) for March, 2011 at 83N. It shows the entire 83N latitude band at 4.5C – 9.5C anomaly.
This data is completely fabricated. Using 250km smoothing, this is what their profile looks like at 83N.
They have zero data at 83N-90N, yet report very high anomalies – which massively skew the global average upwards.

Good questions.
1. The baseline difference is not going to come close to accounting for the 5-10C discrepancy in northern Greenland.
2. The smoothing is exactly the problem. GISS has been diverging from HadCRUT over the last decade, because they generate imaginary Arctic data. Hansen wrote this :
“A likely explanation for discrepancy in identification of the warmest year is the fact that the HadCRUT analysis excludes much of the Arctic ….. (whereas GISS) estimates temperature anomalies throughout most of the Arctic.”
3. Temperatures in the capital Nuuk have been far below normal all but a few days since the beginning of March.
These two March, 2011 maps from UAH and GISS show it pretty clearly. March was a very cold month in Greenland.

Surface temps from Weather Underground confirmed this. However, Hansen’s magic (below) made most of Greenland hot (anomalies as high as 9.9C.) GISS fabricated Arctic data is worthless, at best.
When warm El Nino dominated, Trenberth blamed it on global warming.
One respected climate scientist who has gone out on a limb about the global warming-El Niño connection is Kevin Trenberth, a climatologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. He thinks that El Niño may function as a kind of pressure release valve on the tropics. In an era of global warming, Trenberth says, ocean currents and weather systems might not be able to bleed off all the heat pumped into the tropical seas. Periodically, it has to get rid of the excess that builds up, he suggests, and that safety valve is El Niño.
Since 1976, there have been seven El Niños. Based on the most reliable records, which go back 120 years, we would have expected to see only five, Trenberth says. Could the recent upturn be part of a natural cycle or some kind of oddball blip on the climate radar screen?
Now that cool La Nina is dominating, they are trying to blame that on global warming.
This is mainly the fault of La Niña, a cyclical weather system. “It used to occur once every five to six years, but it is increasingly frequent and severe due to global warming,” says Lozano. The current spell of bad weather is expected to last another two months.
Whatever the weather is, they will rationalize it as being caused by global warming. The incredibly low (non-existent) standards of climate science make this possible.
About minus five degrees of global warming to be precise.

It has never rained so much in Colombia. “Over the past 10 months we have registered five or six times more rainfall than usual,” says weather specialist Ricardo Lozano. Torrential rain and flooding have affected more than three-quarters of the country. The most recent Red Cross bulletin reports 425 fatalities and 3 million disaster victims.

Perhaps “weather specialist” Lazano should learn something about climate before talking about it to the press . Prior to 1978, strong La Nina’s dominated.
The “world’s top rated climatologist” forecast a “strong El Nino” for this summer.
