Hey Greatcloud:
When was the last year there was an annual instrument temperature record low?
When was the last year there was an annual instrument temperature record high?
Why, if there has been "no growth in temperature trend globally since 2000", is there only 1 year before 2000 in the list of the top 10 years by instrument temperature record temperature, while the remaining nine are all from the 2000s and the 2010s?
If you're a fan of Dr John Christy, what do you make of this statement, made in May this year, from colleague and contributor and fellow UAH satellite data set researcher, Dr Roy Spencer:
John Christy and I are concerned that the Red Team approach, if applied to global warming, will simply be a review of the U.N. IPCC science on global warming. We are worried that it will only address the first two points (warming will continue, and it is mostly caused by CO2).
Heck, even *I* believe we will continue to see modest warming, and that it might well be at least 50% due to CO2.

Also, if you're interested in the satellite temperature record, what about the warming shown by the ocean and land instrument record? What level of warming has that shown?
Also, if you claim there's been no warming since the 2000s, how do you account for the following decade averages, based on satellite record of lower troposphere temperatures (measured from a 1981 to 2010 baseline):
1980s: -0.142166667 degrees below average
1990s: 0.00125 degrees above average
2000s: 0.10425 degrees above average
2010s: 0.216629213 degrees above average
Also, when was the last month that lower troposphere temperatures dipped below the 1981 to 2010 average?
Tell me, does this graph show no warming from 2000 onwards?
