NASA (US) says that 2015
was 0.13°C +/-0.1°C above 2014.
.
Met Office (UK) said that 2015
was 0.18°C +/- 0.1°C above 2014.
.
NOAA (US) says 2015
was 0.16°C +/-0.09°C above 2014.
.
All three surface temperature data compilations say 2015 was the warmest year since data were first compiled in 1880.
.
These claims are non-scientific propaganda for the following reasons:
(1) Showing the average temperature of Earth in hundredths of a degree C. is scientific fraud, along with claiming a margin of error of +/- 0.1 degrees C. or less (+/- 1.0 degrees C. would be a reasonable margin of error),
.
(2) Never mentioned is the fact that a majority of temperature numbers included in the surface average are fake -- areas of Earth with no raw data are "infilled" with whatever wild guess numbers government bureaucrats want to use!,
.
(3) Never mentioned are both the RSS and UAH compilations of NASA weather satellite data DO NOT show 2015 as a record high year -- both show 1998 as the record high year, with none of the following 17 years warmer than 1998,
.
(4) Even if all surface and satellite measurement methodologies showed 2015 was a new record, that would mean almost nothing because 99.999% of Earth’s climate history (4.5 billion years) has no real-time average temperature data for comparison,
(5) During a rising temperature trend, there should be new highs, like a stock bull market in progress.
.
During a falling temperature trend, there should be new lows, like a stock bear market in progress.
.
The ONLY real time average temperature measurements available today were made DURING one rising temperature trend.
.
That means we should expect new highs UNTIL THAT RISING TREND ENDS.
.
Because new highs should be EXPECTED during a warming trend — they are not front page news.
.
When we stop having new highs, that means we will be in a new cooling trend — and that would be front page news.
.
If the warming trend since 1850 has NOT ended, we will have more new highs as the trend continues.
.
If the warming trend since 1850 ended in 1998, when weather satellites say the average temperature peaked, there will be no more new highs as the Earth cools.
.
Real news would be a year that did NOT set a new average temperature high.
.
According to weather satellite data, that would be 2015, 2014, 2013, and every other year after 1998.
.
If you look at the most accurate global temperature data available, from the weather satellites, the record high for the satellite data is 1998.
.
The real climate news is the record heat in 1998 has not been exceeded for 17 consecutive years!
.
Left-wing biased publications, such as The New York Times, ARE NOT interested in real news from the most accurate global temperature data available -- NASA weather satellites.
.
They ARE interested in promoting “Save the Earth Socialism”, using CO2 as the latest in a long series of false environmental boogeymen, that started with DDT in the 1960s.
.
That’s why the most appropriate use for the ultra-left-biased New York Times is to line the bottom of bird cages.
