One more set of these. This set is up because it shows the best chance to break a recent warm trend. This is because 2008 was relatively low in recent years. Keeping it out of the trend keeps the trend a bit higher and lets a low year kiss the edge of the ‘no trend / cooling trend’ realms.
You know the drill. I used the data set prepared by O’Day over at Climate Charts & Graphs. Thus, we have charts for GISTEMP, HadCRU, NOAA, RSS, UAH. The data for Dec 2010 is still missing – but I’m using the ave for Jan-Nov for the 2010 annual data.
The script is here



And for the satellites, 25 year trends …


For the curious, I have 0.051C as the UAH annual anomaly for 2008 while the lower boundary is at 0.018C – close to out, but still ‘in’ the ‘undetermined’ zone. But remember, I still don’t have December.
