Noaa backs GISS for April being hottest in recorded history!

[ScienceRocks]

The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for April 2016 was 1.10°C (1.98°F) above the 20th century average of 13.7°C (56.7°F)—the highest temperature departure for April since global records began in 1880. This value surpassed the previous record set in 2010 by 0.28°C (0.50°F). This was also the fourth highest monthly temperature departure among all 1,636 months on record, behind March 2016 (1.23°C/2.21°F), February 2016 (1.19°C/2.14°F), and December 2015 (1.12°C/2.02°F). Overall, 13 out of the 15 highest monthly temperature departures in the record have all occurred since February 2015, with February 1998 and January 2007 among the 15 highest monthly temperature departures. April 2016 also marks the fifth consecutive month (since December 2015) that the global monthly temperature departure from average has surpassed 1.0°C (1.8°F) and it is the 12th consecutive month a monthly global temperature record has been broken, the longest such streak in NOAA's 137 years of record keeping.

April 2016 was characterized by warmer to much warmer-than-average conditions across most of Earth's land surfaces, according to the Land & Ocean Temperature Percentiles map above. The most notable warm temperature departures were observed across much of Russia and Alaska, where temperatures were 3.0°C (5.4°F) or greater above average. Record warmth was notable across northern and central South America and parts of southern Europe, western and central Africa, southeastern Asia, eastern Australia, southern Alaska, and the Caribbean. Meanwhile, northeastern Canada and southern South America were cooler than average, with the most notable cool temperature departures across northeastern Canada (as low as -5°C / -9°F below average). According to NCEI's Global Regional analysis, all six continents had at least a top nine warm April, with South America, Africa, and Asia observing a record high average temperature for April.

Overall, the average global temperature across land surfaces for April 2016 was 1.93°C (3.47°F) above the 20th century average of 8.1°C (46.5°F), the highest April temperature on record, surpassing the previous April record set in 2007 by 0.42°C (0.77°F) and the third highest monthly temperature departure on record (1880–2016), behind March 2016 (2.38°C/4.28°F) and February 2016 (2.28°C/4.11°F).

Is it just me or is every month the hottest in "recorded history"?

This reeks of alarmism.

Think about this. We're talking fractions of a degree rise in temperature. But those same fractional increases in temperature are portrayed as historic and unprecedented and proof of global warming. I have plenty of ice core data to show that the rises we're seeing now pale in comparison to the rises we saw in the Medieval and Roman warming periods. This is concrete fact.

Yelling "this is the hottest month in recorded history" won't change that.

EDIT: Amended terminology to "recorded history".

[TemplarKormac]

Um... did I toast Matt's thread?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Alarmists can't seem to understand that the Earth has been here way longer than humanity has. They can't explain away the colossal swings of warming and cooling over past four hundred millennia. We're talking warming that has only been recorded since the 1800's. The earth has been here for 4.6 billion years, not 150.

 

[Old Rocks]

Temp, you dumb ass, we aren't fucking worried about the planet. We are worried about the effects of an adrupt climate change on the humans that live on this planet.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I think I'll stick with the scientist of the noaa and nasa. Loserterians are a disgrace to this nation and should be laughed at any chance a sane person gets.


Lies, damn lies and bs.

Recorded history is 137 years, but we have proxy data going back far further into the past.We have global estimates of temperature going half a billion years or more back into earths past. Of course, some proxies measure only back a few thousand years, while others measure hundreds of millions of years. We're just about as warm today as we were around 125 thousand years at the height of the warmest inter-glacial period of the past 3 million years. What should be even more concerning(as everything is relative) is the reality that global temperatures should be cooling towards the next ice age. Heck, for about 2,500 years before the industrial revolution the overall trend was towards a cooler "means". We certainly shouldn't be warming and we sure as hell shouldn't be at the highest co2 level in the past 10-12 million years.

Science is now a copy of a copy of a copy, created from something that did not exist in the first place.

Which leads back to NOAA? Which states they created the data to represent data that did not exist?

[elektra]

And of course, the more you dig, the cloudier things become, little facts present themselves, which makes one wonder, how NOAA creates data, from the sparse station history, that is nonhomogeneous.

If the City of Los Angeles's historical temperature records are only good from 1974 on, what does that say about New Delhi, India? What about Mecca, Saudi Arabia, there was no University in Mecca in the 1800's, let alone Meteorologists?

Before 1999, the records are unavailable or unreliable.

Which is confirmed by this quote from NOAA, that states they made up the temperatures, based on "science".

I could spend hours working on this question, there was the weather bureau, placing instruments on tall buildings? The Smithsonian sent instruments out to Telegraph stations before the Weather Bureau? Should be a thermometer in the Smithsonian I would presume. Newspapers published temperatures. So, the question is how much of a difference does it make, as the city grows which affects the temperature, obviously the original Weather Bureau locations have changed, which can make a dramatic difference.
