Doug,
Most now use UHI and RSS data. The NOAA and NASA adjustments have corrupted the historical record. Interesting to see what Dr R. Pielke Sr and the others come up with when they review the basis for adjustments.
In Australia, Dr Mahorrsey presented Ruthigan and a couple series temps which showed adjustments turning cooling trends to !.6*C heating over historical records. So we have to move back to actual observations and provide a written basis for projected changes in the past.
ARGO ;and SST temperatures are being adjusted furiously in the run up to Paris. All we can hope for is a LIA 2 to convince the public that something is rotten in Denmark. or Paris.

What happens when the President wants to send a carrier to the latest hot spot and they are already deployed or back in port
What “hot spot” did you have in mind? Can outline a current plausible scenario for this “hot spot?”

@doug: Hmm, so where is the ~0.35C of warming that should have happened since 1998? Is that all going to happen this year?

Spencer Weart is a wonderful writer/science historian. Good read is also “Money for Keeling:Monitoring CO2 Levels” https://www.aip.org/history/climate/Kfunds.htm
At the end he writes: “Mingled with this infighting came another trend: the politicization of some scientific decisions. . . . Such strong politicization did not appear in other advanced democracies. It appears to correlate with the unequalled rise to power in America of right-wing anti-intellectual, anti-elite attitudes. While increased bureaucratization of research support may be inevitable, interference for political ends is an error that should and can be opposed by all citizens.”

Joseph: So you can recognize it, but those who actually understand the science in-depth, can’t see it for what it is? Are they making it up?
That is a good pair of questions. Why are some of the experts spreading “alarm” (a call to immediate and profound redirection of the energy economy), when the evidence is slim to none that much bad will happen, and there is no evidence that anything bad has happened because of increased CO2? And why do they continue unabated when so many of their dire forecasts to date have been so inaccurate?

Why do you say “some experts?” What makes you think that most scientist don’t consider climate change to have negative risks? How do you know there slim evidence? Another you just another non-expert pontificating about the science you really don’t know that well?

Rud forgets that data has no trend.
Models of data have trends

Weather is another word for stuff that you can’t understand. Climate you can understand. Weather is what’s left over

Yeah mosh..let me know when you get a bachelors in math, or an applied science.
theres that too.

NOAA provides high quality products that are made highly dedicated and exceedingly competent scientists.

Got it. Good point.

The butler had the body but he disposed of it somehow. Any further questions?

Your religious faith is admirable. Or would be if you didn’t want to impose it on others.
Comment on A peculiar kind of science by Stanton Brown
Weart is obviously an extreme left-winger politically who has let his politics affect his judgment.

Here on this website it was purported that the Pacific NE blob appears to be dissipating. I had the temerity to be skeptical about this speculation. I was assured by a skeptical know-it all that the blob is in fact dissipating.
So a couple of weeks later the PDO index went up.
It’s taking its time. October 2015… so far, unbelievably hot.

Hot, where? In some places but certainly not in others

You are the one with the religion which you want to impose… the church of it’s not happening, or if it is, it’s all going to be good. Sounds like blind faith because it is blind faith. Pray for the AMO and the stadium wave, but hope for the Kimikamikaze wind. It’s at least real.
