Ho hum, yet another comment about Global Warming whenever it gets cold in an isolated region like the US. I’ll leave alone that such polar vortexes are really a sign of climate disruption and merely point out that in 2014, the
global,
all days surface air temp anomaly has increased by a little less than 0.1C (actually 0.086C) for the completed months of Jan - Oct.
Page to the bottom, read the note that begins with “Divide by 100 ...”, and do the math averaging the 10 months of 2013 and 10 months of 2014.
Thus when this plot of surface air temp anomalies is updated
the square black marker will be the highest ever - a bit higher than 2010 (if Nov/Dec 2014 follow suit and are larger than than the corresponding Nov/Dec 2013).
And I hasten to point out the ocean’s warming (where 90%+ of the warming is occurring) is continuing it's upward trend.
and recent research indicates that the data above have underestimated the ocean warming: due to poor Southern Hemisphere measurement coverage.
Global Warming deserves much attention as does alternative energy development. The recent is welcomed.
