The RSS Microwave Sounder Unit (MSU) global temperature anomaly data
has been published this morning by RSS (Remote Sensing Systems of Santa
Rosa, CA).
For March 2008 it has moved a little higher, with a value of .079°C for
a change (?T) of 0.081°C globally from February.
2008 1 -0.070
2008 2 -0.002
2008 3 0.079
The interesting news is the divergence between northern and southern
hemispheres, and the plunge seen in the continental USA. I'll have more
on that coming up.
Curiously, at almost the same time the BBC has published an article
today headlining: Global temperatures 'to decrease'
On a related note:
Lucia over at The Blackboard just posted a very well done analysis that
takes ENSO into account in falsifying the IPCC AR4 projection of
+2.0C/century. Here is her graph showing IPCC AR4 projections compared
with observations and best fit trend:

"The notion of a static, unchanging climate is foreign to the history of
the earth or any other planet with a fluid envelope. The fact that the
developed world went into hysterics over changes in global mean
temperature of a few tenths of a degree will astound future
generations." Richard Lindzen, Professor of Meteorology MIT and Member
of the National Academy of Sciences
