Fossil fools, looking for an excuse for the carbon fuel industry,
have made up many fanciful conjectures to explain global warming.
Meanwhile, 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 126 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 October temperature over the last 126 years is 13.992 C.
The Variance is 0.04658.
The Standard Deviation is 0.2158.

Rxy 0.772821 Rxy^2 0.597253
TEMP = 13.701111 + (0.004586 * (YEAR-1879))
Degrees of Freedom = 124 F = 183.885447
Confidence of nonzero correlation = approximately
0.9999999999999999999999999 (25 nines), which is darn close to 100%!

The month of October in the year 2005,
is linearly projected to be 14.279,
yet it was 14.61.
The sum of the residuals is 13.356085

Exponential least squares fit:
TEMP = 13.703536 * e^(.0003265 * (YEAR-1879))
The sum of the residuals is 13.326798

The most recent 140 continuous months, or 11 years and 8 months,
on this GLB.Ts+dSST.txt data set are all above the 1951-1980
data set norm of 14 C.
There are 1510 months of data on this data set:
-- 645 of them are at or above the norm.
-- 865 of them are below the norm.
This run of 140 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.

Roger - just out of curiosity, what was the warmest October on record?


Fairly recently, or are we talking back in 1935 or 1898 or something?

Please look at my analysis for the subtitle

will find your answer.

I'm sorry Zombie, you must explain your question. I didn't
report any cooling nor did I discuss the month of November.

Roger - I'm sorry to seem obtuse. It was right there in your post, and
I missed it.

As a non-mathematician, and as an admirer of science rather than a
scientist myself,
I think it's actually pretty easy for many people to get lost in a
document that relies
exclusively on numbers. Most of us who have jobs that don't regularly
involve us in
examining numbers tend to blank out whenever topics like global warming
get discussed
largely in mathematical and technical terms.

I'm not complaining, mind you. Thank you for the information, which
looks like
it's the equivalent of a fire alarm ringing in the night.

Of the ten warmest Octobers on record, ALL of them have occurred since
1990. Of the six warmest Octobers, five have occurred in the past
five years. That looks significant to me.

Sorry if this is another dumb question, but does anybody here have an
explanation for what
happened to keep the years 2000, 1999, 1987 and 1986 from making the
top 10 list? Were they just
a little cooler, or did volcanoes etc. (or maybe smoke from burning
rainforests) interfere with the apparent warming trend in those years,
or don't we know, really?

Below is the list extracted from the data at the same website:
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/GLB.Ts.txt

It is sorted High to Low values, and numbered.
2000 is year # 25, 1999 is year # 11, 1987 is year #16, 1986 is year #
56.

Here's things in 1986 that may have affected the weather:
http://www.inthe80s.com/time1986.shtml
* Fox Network starts in America
* Return of Haley's Comet
* January 28, the Challenger explodes.
* Worst nuclear disaster ever in Chernobyl, USSR, April.
* In Nyos, Cameroon, a cloud of carbon dioxide rumbled out of the
nearby lake Nyos on August 21 and killed approximently 1,700 people.
* Mandatory recycling programs started in Rhode Island.

Well, it's analogous to the "8 year cooling period since 1998". Some
folks see a recent heat record as a sign that we are warming, some see
it as us already being over the hump. Same goes for record heat in
October.

There is nothing, I repeat "nothing," in any, I repeat "any,"
long term global mean surface temperature record that indicates
cooling. You're fanciful 8-year cooling period, is well within
the variance. Look at these land and sea yearly mean
temperatures from NASA GISS:

The mean yearly temperature over the last 126 years is 13.977 C.
These data are normalized at 14.0 C and represent hundreds of a K.
The Variance is 0.04661.
The Standard Deviation is 0.2159.

Your "8-year cooling period" has an amplitude of little
more than 1 standard deviation in only two of the 8 years.

NOPE!
These data you have posted are not from the same page that I analyzed
and posted at the top of this thread.

The data you posted are the land data from:

The years 1986-87 and 1999-00 were both times of an La Nina which
followed a major El Nino. But I do not know if this idea is widely
accepted,
or has even been proposed already.

Cheers, Alastair.

To save bandwidth, I remove the uninteresting center
when I publish the list. The norm of all the GISS
temperature data is 14.0 C. A couple of years ago
the files used to say that. Also, it helps to view
the list as Z-scores, (score - mean) / StandardDeviation.

The problem with that is whatever is writen in jest, there are people
here who write more absurd stuff for real...

Do you already have this in spreadsheet form? I am thinking of putting
it into a spreadsheet (OpenOffice.org freeware distributable, M$ Excel
compatible), but if you have done that it can save typing. Also the ACE
scores and the HURDAT are begging for being in spreadsheet format.

The report at the top of this thread is produced by
a BASIC program I have written. That program
reads the data files as they come from NASS
GISS.

I also use another piece of open source freeware,
"The 'R' Statistical Program," which needs
a simple format like most spreadsheets read.

http://www.r-project.org/

I HIGHLY recommend this program! The only
limitation I have encountered is that the free
version lacks numerical accuracy on large
(N>10,000) data sets. One can purchase a
solution for this, or write your own program with
a precision sumer, as I did.

Below are GISS land and sea data and HURDAT
numbers in one file, followed by the "R" script
that analyzes them.

Exactly. I supress many a wry comment because the number of smileys
required to distinguish it from 90% of the sincerely absurd would quite
spoil the fun!

In fact, here comes one now...

It looks like Ray is right...in one post Roger is saying this October was
the warmest in 126 years and in another he says the second warmest in 126
years!

"Further research is needed" as obviously we are not certain enough to take
any action.

And by this time next year, this October might even have been revised
downwards to only the 3rd warmest October in 127 years, which would
obviously demonstrate that the much-heralded cooling had started...

Read carefully, Coby, or provide plenty of smileys.
I have two posts of this month's GISS data

1) Warmest in the Northern Hemisphere.

2) Second warmest in the global land and sea.

Yes, Coby, they are different.
No, Coby, no further research is need. Action should begin immediately.

Ray Loop-the-loop won't even need to wait a year.
He just must find any month cooler than that which
preceded it. Being a fossil fool means you never
have to connect with all of reality, you just cherry
pick enough facts to sell your lie.

I note a substantial cooling trend from noon October 15 until 2 AM this
morning.

For the Loop-the-loops of this world, that's enough to
challenge all of climate science. Some crackpot
carbon industry 'scientists' will publish it in a comic
book journal, and Steve Schuln will quote mine it.
