mikegino,
Was that the entire state or just some portion? What does the broader picture show? How have the temperatures been in Australia? Any individual place temperature is only one data point and needs to be considered with all the others over a longer period of time to yield any understanding of trends. Capiche?

Does anyone know if any commercial restaurant in Las Vegas will have access to the game?

Meanwhile back in the real world multiple redundant data sets all show the same warming driven by the known physics of GHG's.

Are there any readers who are feeling new reservations wrt to the stolen emails? Or is it just the usual crowd of know nothings?

When Patrick can recognize his own incompetence that will be a special day. For those disinclined to believe what Patrick posts, please ignore his uninformed condemnation of Real Climate. By reading the complete history of those emails you will be rewarded with a far better understanding of climate and AGW then Patrick could ever hope to achieve. All you have to lose is ignorance.

Now when is she going to WRITE her first book again? Why so many lies in this one?

rusty boy,
If by indoctrination you mean earning a Bachelor of Science degree then, by all means, I am guilty. You on the other hand have the remarkable ability, through your density, of bending light around you.
Readers can safely ignore rusty boy blunder's mediocrity in favor of actually reading Real Climate where, if they take the time, they will become educated in the nuances of climate and sobered by what the human species is doing to that climate in such a short time.

Hi El_Lobo,
It looks like the barely literate believe they passed logic class when they actually flunked basic mathematics.
Mikegino should (but wont') read this:
http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/arc...
Even more importantly he won't understand the nuanced explanation.
I wonder who came up with the climate change terminology? Who is Frank Luntz?

"It's time for us to start talking about "climate change" instead of global warming and "conservation" instead of preservation.

"Climate change" is less frightening than "global warming". As one focus group participant noted, climate change "sounds like you're going from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale." While global warming has catastrophic connotations attached to it, climate change suggests a more controllable and less emotional challenge."
The meme that it is getting colder is laughably wrong:

LarryVegas,
So I guess this shows why your sources should not be trusted but I already know you will still use them in the future, showing you as unreliable.

"CRU climate data already 'over 95%' available (28 November)
Over 95% of the CRU climate data set concerning land surface temperatures has been accessible to climate researchers, sceptics and the public for several years the University of East Anglia has confirmed.

"It is well known within the scientific community and particularly those who are sceptical of climate change that over 95% of the raw station data has been accessible through the Global Historical Climatology Network for several years. We are quite clearly not hiding information which seems to be the speculation on some blogs and by some media commentators," commented the University's Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Research Enterprise and Engagement Professor Trevor Davies." continues on that page.

Keep trying Patrick and one day you may even understand what the word "context" means. For the rest of that context any readers not dazzled by the snow job Patrick is doing can look here:
http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/arc...
And a teaser for what is there:
"HARRY_read_me.txt. This is a 4 year-long work log of Ian (Harry) Harris who was working to upgrade the documentation, metadata and databases associated with the legacy CRU TS 2.1 product, which is not the same as the HadCRUT data (see Mitchell and Jones, 2003 for details). The CSU TS 3.0 is available now (via ClimateExplorer for instance), and so presumably the database problems got fixed. Anyone who has ever worked on constructing a database from dozens of individual, sometimes contradictory and inconsistently formatted datasets will share his evident frustration with how tedious that can be.
"Redefine the peer-reviewed literature!" . Nobody actually gets to do that, and both papers discussed in that comment -- McKitrick and Michaels (2004) and Kalnay and Cai (2003) were both cited and discussed in Chapter 2 of the IPCC AR4 report. As an aside, neither has stood the test of time."

Future,
You missed this link. Try lying better next time:
As to transparency you can look at the raw data and much else here:
