Let's compare the four predominant data sets about the global temperature updated to include October 2008:
Shown in thin lines are the monthly averages while the thick lines represent 12 months running averages.
Red and orange are based on surface meteo station data as compiled by NASA (Hansen et al) and the British Met Office (HADCRU of Jones et al). Green and blue are two different products of the same satellite data series compiled by University of Alabama (Spencer et al) and Remote Sensor Systems (RSS).
See how NASA creeps up, whereas Jones et al of the UK met office holds the midgrounds between Hansen and the two satellite temperature sets. Although the latter show differences in monthly values, both have a robust fit of the 12 months running mean (bold black).
How would this compare to the predictions from the past?
