re: #189 LudwigVanQuixote

Show me the data. Just like every other time you have linked to any actual data, I will point out what you misread, misunderstood, cherry-picked, or fabricated.

Of course NASA has many arctic sensors.

Of course GISS uses that input in their temperature analysis.

And, it turns out that we are setting record highs.

IF you look on the page, you can follow links to all of their methodology.

Now it is true, that with the ways that currents work, there are some regions that are cooler than usual. However, taking the whole thing into account shows that as a whole, the globe is warming.

You see, this is what looking at actual data means.

Link whatever it is you are talking about and I will show you why you are wrong.

Just wanted to thank you for this post, as well as point to next year’s anti-AGW argument in the making:

…The location of extreme events in any particular month depends on specific weather patterns, which are unpredictable except on short time scales. The weather patterns next summer will be different than this year. It could be a cooler than average summer in Moscow in 2011…

Oh noes; cooler temps in Moscow 2011! “All Signs Point to Global Cooling!

Wait for it…
