A few days ago, Hansen described the Antarctic Peninsula as being the fastest warming place on the planet. It has cooled more than half a degree since 1998.

If gray areas signify missing data, how is it that the Arctic Ocean basin has so little gray? How many weather stations are truly in the red and orange areas?
Also interesting to see war-torn areas like Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq, as well as North Korea and Venezuela participating in temperature data gathering.
Gray areas are more than 1200km from the nearest thermometer. According to Hansen anywhere within 1200km of a thermometer will have the same ‘anomaly’.
This map uses his 1200km extrapolation scheme, based on the idea that you can forecast Monaco temperatures if you know the temperature in Birmingham, England.
Not only the Arctic, John.
Hansen only has only ONE rural station in the whole of Africa with records back to 1940. It is called Calvinia in South Africa and shows no warming trend.
So where does he make his figures up from?

Hansen was in the right place but it musta been the wrong time. (I saw Dr. John’s posts and well….)
I like the artwork more than the music. Too funny.
How does Antarctica get so red when the majority has cooled?
“A few days ago, Hansen described the Antarctic Peninsula as being the fastest warming place on the planet. It has cooled more than half a degree since 1998.”
Yikes! Better grab a hat and gloves.
Not to mention that for all of Canada north of the Artic Circle, there is only ONE reporting station in Eurika, NWT!
