I populate this blog using a laptop computer and have no idea why smart phones don't show the great chart below on the blog home page. The mystery of confusers. That chart, shown below, tries to show a row of 141 red line thermometers, each one showing the global average temperature for one year, for each year from 1880 to 2021.
The first chart is NASA-GISS surface temperature anomalies converted to absolute temperatures, that best communicate the temperature that people feel outdoors and understand. This chart has made more than one leftist go berserk and refuse to read anything else on the blog. I consider that a "thumbs up" for the blog.
The NASA-GISS numbers before World War 2 are rough estimates, and the numbers before 1900 are Northern Hemisphere temperature very rough estimates, not global averages. NASA-GISS will never tell you those facts because they are in the climate scaremongering "business".
The second chart of UAH satellite data is a more accurate compilation of global average temperatures using NASA weather satellite data, since 1979. Voluntarily compiled by two honest Ph.D. scientists with no government funding.
NASA-GISS ignore those UAH numbers simply because they reflect a slower warming rate than the NASA-GISS surface numbers, which include a lot of wild guessing for areas where there are no weather stations. The surface temperature numbers of NASA-GISS are compiled by smarmy government bureaucrats who have predicted rapid global warming for many decades. They are biased to show faster warming than reality to support their predictions (which were still wrong). I would not trust them to tell me the time of day.

New chart, as of today:
NASA-GISS surface data -- absolute global average temperatures by year, in F. degrees, from 1880 to 2021, including the CO2 level (rough estimates before 1958)
