re: #56 LudwigVanQuixote

Calculating the global mean is frankly only a very coarse measure and not the point.

First off, most papers do agree on how to calculate it, they average over grids, second of all, in the context of your complaint, who cares?

What is more important is looking at the changing climate patterns, the overall trends and the nature of the feedbacks.

Would it matter as long as the method for calculating the global temp mean was consistent?
