GISS Shaping Up To Claim 2010 as #1

GISS appears to be working hard to make 2010 the hottest year ever. As you can see in the graph above, they show 2010 with much more area above the 1998 line than below. I did a numerical integration of the graph above, and found that they have 2.8 times as much area with 2010 warmer than they do with 2010 cooler.

How does this compare with other data sources? HadCrut has been adjusting their data upwards, but even using their upwards adjusted numbers, their ratio of above to below area is only 0.04. Seventy times lower than GISS.

UAH has 0.12 times as much area above as they have below. Twenty-five times lower than GISS.

RSS has 0.07 times as much area above as below. Forty times lower than GISS.

The chart below shows how much of an outlier GISS is.

Kinda wonder if this satellite is reporting 15 degrees warmer than reality.

If so, this will be the "mother of all winters" ~

It’s gonna be one COLD winter in a lot of the U.S.

Considering the small number of sunspots that have appeared within the past four years, it could very well be another bad one.
