Both RSS and UAH global temperature anomalies are out for Feb 09 « Watts Up With That?
Oddly, a divergence has developed, and opposite in direction to boot. The only thing more puzzling today is Andy Revkin.

The crowd giggled with glee and while I was too young to ever attend a Reagan rally, I bet this is probably what they were like. But this is not 1981, it's 2009 and what in the heck does Communism have to do with climate change? Nothing of course, but Innis knows that this "socialist conspiracy theory" plays to a crowd that is looking for any reason they can to continue to ignore the realities of climate change.
Jennifer Marohasy » Redefining the Limits of Global Warming
YESTERDAY, at the second International Conference on Climate Change in New York, Australian climatologist William Kininmonth explained that: The computer models on which the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change bases its projections significantly underestimate the rate of increase of evaporation with increasing temperature. As a consequence, Mr Kininmonth explained they grossly exaggerate the surface temperature increase from carbon dioxide. It follows that the suggestion that global temperature might pass a ‘tipping point’ and even go into a phase of ‘runaway global warming’ are not realistic because the oceans and the hydrological cycle are a natural constraint on anthropogenic global warming.
