2015 Global Temperatures

Historically, summer is the season less effected by ENSO.  This year, we actually have a moderate event early.  Barring a major volcanic event, this summer will almost certainly break the JJA record.

Indeed, these projections are based on the 1970-2000 baseline so we would be approaching HCO/Early Eemian temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere.

It's almost a given that 2015 will be a record setting year...unless something really unusual & strange takes place

No, we're not quite there yet. Add another 0.5K and we've hit the HCO. We probably have another 20-30yrs to go before we hit the HCO. The Eemian optimum is about 1.5K away, so that'll probably be reached between 2060 and 2075.

Agree to disagree here but when we hit those benchmarks, tipping points will surely follow. One has to accept that knowing what the temperature will be in 2060 is impossible right now. Only a range of values can be derived.

 

The rate of warming won't be constant. Do you agree or disagree?

GISS is out for May. .71C above the 1951-1980 average.  No major revisions for the year otherwise with this update.  So far, through May, the dataset has averaged a 0.765.  It's seems fairly likely the rest of the year may be warmer than this tally given the blossoming nino.  For the record, every month has been above 0.7C this year thus far.

Until they revise it down in a few months/years....

It's funny how revisions to GISS have simple logical justifications that have been empirically tested and passed through extensive peer-review, but some here are willing to swallow UAH v6 with no questions, despite any real justification for how this is an improvement over v5.6 and no peer-review. Never-mind the fact that it was produced by a conservative evangelist who believes AGW somehow runs contrary to his god and politics.

Is there really in reason for that?  Roy Spencer doesn't believe that AGW runs contrary to his God & politics.  I'd put his honesty & integrity against the likes of Gavin Schmidt & Michael Mann any day.

Gavin Schmidt is the director of the Goddard Institute of Space Studies, a highly respected branch of NASA.

 

Roy Spencer is some professor at a University..

 

Let's just assume that both have good intentions.  We just know that Roy Spencer has been wrong many many times.  There's really no contest in terms of qualiifications and testable statements by both men.
