Holy crap Batman; this means that within the next couple of decades all the southern folk will need to migrate north because it will be too hot and too dry for them to live.
well, @greiner3, the actual effect is debatable. We had on Earth the Eocene period, 56 - 34 millions years ago, where temperatures at the poles are more than 10C above today average and at equator about 5C above today. Apparently it was also the greenest period of Earth, with forests spreading from pole to pole. Search in Wikipedia about "Eocene" and for "65_Myr_Climate_Change.png".
Even if you look and say, "Oh, the average temperature only rose a little, it's no cause for concern." Keep in mind, that's average temperature. With the thinning of the ozone layer, in addition to hotter days, we're also getting COLDER NIGHTS.
The temperature variance between night and day has widened by TENS of degrees just since I was a child in my area.
And a mere two decades ago, seasons changed gradually, when now they're whip-lashing between hot days and cold days, instead of just cool.
@xZaCloudx *since I was a child. - I'm 29, btw. No previous generations have cited this drastic of a change in temperature ranges around here.
70-75 F was normal summer temperatures, with 80 F considered a rare heat-wave when I was 8. Now, it's considered a cool day with highs more routinely being in the high 90s, low 100s.
And the nights would normally be in the low-to-mid 60s, when now it's been in the low 50s. In the exact same area.
I sunbathed yesterday and bundled up today. Not right.
These are the Berkeley data. The study was funded by the climate sceptic community, to determine if global warming was a reaility. They found that it was. Their estimates show worse warming than that of even NASA/ NOAA. Berkely have made 'the complete stats' available' if @lukeseti want them.
Of course, Fox & the Kochs are trying to spin this study as "flawed," by selectively quoting the 2 or 3 percent of climatologists who are hard-line skeptics, like Judith Curry.
It's an insult to scientists to have their work second-guessed by liars, when they've been right all along.
It will probably take some non-scientist like Rush Limbaugh finally admitting that AGW is real for most Republicans to face reality. That may never happen unless the ocean floods his Florida mansion complex.
The 3rd industrial age people. Solar driven e-car charging stations all over with 30 minute time limits to park and charge, hydrogen fuel cell buses and trains. With 7 billion on the planet we have to mitigate our oil producing gases. The future also included bidirectional power that homeowners with excess power can sell into the grid. Who wouldn't want this except the Saudis. We need oil for plastics. lubricants, paints and dyes. Government lets get on board!
@westnileraven It's surprising how long people have been collecting temperature data for. In 1953, loads of individual temperature readings in central England were combined to produce a set of data that goes all the way back to 1659. There must have been similar efforts elsewhere in the world too.
Try searching on Wikipedia for "Central England Temperature" if you want more information.
@westnileraven Because the temperatures in different places can vary quite dramatically (imagine how different the readings from a temperature station atop a mountain and one in a valley would be, or one in Europe and one in the Sahara desert) it's difficult to make comparisons if you talk in terms of absolute temperature.
Instead, scientists work out an area's average temperature and compare their readings to it. Anomaly is the difference between the average temperature and actual measurents.
@saxsux, I believe the "anomaly" here is difference of the temperature of a certain spot at certain time to the normal / average temperature at the same spot overtime. So there is no need to average temperature over multiple locations to calculate the anomaly.
Why the 1C degree difference makes it so red. 1C is not a big deal at all.

What's your measurement of a standard deviation? Is this statistically significant?
