April was 11th Warmest on NASA's 129-Year Land and Sea Record.

Even though April of this year is 11th warmest, it still is
above the 129-year trend line. In the long term therefore,
global mean surface temperatures continue an accelerated rise.

Lately, fossil fools fondly repeat a lie about global warming
slowing down. "Global warming ended in 1998," they say. The
truth is published here every month in this section of these
reports:

The month of April in the year 2008,
is linearly projected to be 14.343,
yet it was 14.41. <- above trend line

Using the line of regression, the temperature is projected.
If global warming reversed, the actual measured temperatures
would have to fall below the line of regression temperature,
and do so for a year or more. So far this has not happened,
not for even two months in a row.

Measured temperatures which are nearly always above projected
temperatures mean that the temperature rise is accelerating.
This is simple geometry. Each above the line measured global
temperature raises the slope of the regression line when that
new point joins the data. This pattern is now 5 decades old.
Please see:

http://members.cox.net/rcoppock/Slope1952-2007.jpg

Clearly therefore, the fossil fools lie, and global mean
surface temperatures continue to rise.

These globally averaged temperature data come from NASA:
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt
They represent the results of tens of millions of readings
taken at thousands of land stations and ships around the globe
over the last 129 years. Yes, the land data are corrected for
the urban heat island effect. The sea data do not need to be.
There are few urban centers in the sea.

The Mean April temperature over the last 129 years is 13.970 C.
The Variance is 0.07121.
The Standard Deviation is 0.2669.

The most recent 170 continuous months, or 14 years and 2 months,
on this GLB.Ts+dSST.txt data set are all above the 1951-1980
data set norm of 14 C.
There are 1540 months of data on this data set:
-- 661 of them are at or above the norm.
-- 879 of them are below the norm.
This run of 170 months above the norm is the result of a warming
world. It is too large to occur by chance at any reasonable level
of confidence. A major volcano eruption, thermonuclear war, or
meteor impact could stop this warming trend for a couple of years,
otherwise expect it to continue.

That appears likely given the ongoing LaNina and the fact that last year
tied with the second warmest year on record.

Here are the global average temperatures since 1958. "o" = trend line.

Look at all those "o"'s lined up there. The trend is up, Up, UP.

And most recently the rate of increase is about 2'C per century.

So, according to your data the current temperature is not
significantly different from the mean....

Well restricting the data to 1990 up the warming is even more rapid. The
slope (rate of warming) is twice what it is over the entire 50 years.

Since 1990 the Global Average temp has changed by .37'C or .67'F.

At that rate, global average temperatures will 2.1'C higher than they are
today, in 100 years. More actually since the rate of warming is increasing.

And that pretty much confirms what we've been saying about your monthly
reports. i.e. It is not reliable. (that's a nice way of saying you are

If you had scientific training, you would understand

to establish a climate trend, you have only two years.

I used to think on reading some of your posts elsewhere, that you

So why not give us the benefit of your wisdom (if I'm right on that

The data set is not and never was of sufficient precision
to use in energy accounting, there is no hour by hour records for
most of the data set, and daily max and min is meaningless for
energy calculations.

Climate is not a precise temperature, it is a "typical" value,
within a wide range.


But the kicker that makes your efforts totally worthless is the
fact that all aspects that did suggest a warmer world during the
20th century must level off, which is what I think has happened,
statistical errors, equipment and method changes, and even any
conscious or subconscious cheating by Hansen or anybody absolutely
must level off, the data will win out.

But I don't like cold weather, and I see no reason for man
to suffer in order to save the polar bear, it would not make me
unhappy if the whole world had the climate of Hawaii, so if that
makes me a bad boy, sorry.

The polar bear will probably survive in a higher percentage
than man, if only man would stop using high power rifles to kill them,
and if people have been depending on melting ice for the water supply,
they were kidding themselves, they need to do whatever necessary to
get to a more dependable source.

The Global Warming fad has to be the most stupid thing ever
thought up, and the real scientists that have been suckered in or
coerced into subscribing to such an imprecise and flawed program
will be very upset with themselves when they see the light.

Without UHI, you have nothing, temperature ranges within even
20 degrees of "normal" _ARE_ "typical".


I feel for you, but I can't reach you. I would expect when
you see the light you will be a vocal opponent of the whole GW mess.

But just my opinion.

The title of this thread says it all. It's an opinion by you based on
the questionable data. Even 1951 to 1980 is a best estimate according to
their own web site. You claim that UHI is taken into account when there
is no data for 129 years of it. Other than that the surface record has
changed a lot from place to place by leaving all that equipment in the
same place for decades while growth has continued to bastardize the
readings.

So I stand by the statement that it is not reliable and for you to
insist that if I have better data then I should produce it is stupid.
Just because you have no other source of data, taken with better
methodology, doesn't mean that what you have is reliable because you can
wave your statistical wand and come up with melodramatic statements like
you have been doing every month.

As far as I know, GISS is not making the same melodramatic announcement
that you do every month or it would most likely be relayed like
clockwork on the evening news and published daily in a little box with
the weather in the newspapers.

Pesticides blamed for plummeting salmon stocks
12:52 09 June 2008
NewScientist.com news service
Ewen Callaway

A weak mix of pesticides in river water dampens a salmon's sense of smell,
say
researchers. In experiments, Steelhead rainbow trout exposed to low levels
of 10
common agricultural pesticides could not perceive changes in levels of a
predator's scent.

"You can imagine if a fish is unable to detect just how close it is to a
[wading] bear, it's a problem," says Keith Tierney, a toxicologist who led
the
study while at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia.

A depressed sense of smell might also keep fish from finding mates and food.
Trout are closely related to salmon, and, though the theory is unproven,
pesticides may be a cause of plummeting salmon stocks in Canada and the US,
Tierney says.

Fisheries researchers have long suspected that pesticides can deaden fishes'
olfactory sense. But most of the evidence was based on fish exposed to
artificially high levels of a single chemical and for a short period.
In the wild, however, salmon swim through waters polluted with low levels of
pesticides and other chemicals that can change from day to day, depending on
the
amount and nature of the runoff entering the river system.

Chemical cocktail

After the US Clean Water Act and similar legislation in Canada forced
drastic
cuts in easily tracked water pollutants, such "nonpoint sources" of
pollution -
those affecting a water body from diffuse sources - have become more common.
To get a better handle on how dilute pesticides stymie a fish's sense of
smell,
Tierney, now at University of Windsor, Ontario, and his colleague
Christopher
Kennedy measured the water quality in British Columbia's Nicomekl River - a
34-kilometre flow that empties into the Pacific Ocean just south of
Vancouver.
Tierney's team found no fewer than 40 chemicals in the river, most at trace
concentrations.

Simplifying matters, the researchers created a weak mix of the 10 most
abundant
pesticides, which included atrazine and diazinon, then exposed trout to the
brew
for four days. Next, they tested how the chemicals affected odour-sensing
cells
exposed to a scent molecule produced by predators.
Permanent damage

Pesticide-treated trout could still sense the odour - an amino acid called
L-serine - but they couldn't detect changes in the scent's concentration,
the
researchers found. Sensing changes in the levels of a scent is important
because
animals, including humans, tend to "tune out" smells that don't change,
Tierney
says.

"If you go into a pizza joint, you get used to the smell," he says. "You go
back
outside and it smells completely different."

The damage also seems permanent - a protein that detoxifies harmful
chemicals
appears overwhelmed by the pesticides. "This [contaminated] water is causing
problems in very, very sensitive tissue," he says.

In unpublished experiments, Tierney's team has found that trout exposed to
low
levels of pesticides have trouble finding food and mates. All told, the
deadened
sense of smell may mean that fewer salmon survive to spawn each year.

Cleaner water

Pesticides are probably just a part of the problem facing salmon, says
Nathaniel
Scholz, an ecotoxicologist at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric
Administration in Seattle, Washington. Overfishing and climate change have
also
been blamed for declines.

Untangling the role of water pollutants will help conservationists and
policy
makers "get the most bang for their buck," Scholz says.

And even if field research proves that low levels of pesticides contribute
to
declining stocks, stemming the trickle of chemicals into rivers won't be
easy.
The toxic compounds come from a myriad of sources, including farms, cities
and
suburbs, and their levels often fluctuate from day to day, depending on
storm
runoff.

Yet safer pesticides and better runoff controls offer some hope, Tierney
says.
"The water will have to be a little cleaner if we want to have salmon in the
water."
