HADCRUT4: Statistics, Science and Spin

It is regrettable, and in my view poor form, to release the HadCRUT4 top ten years and not simultaneously release the complete dataset so that a more detailed look can be made at the time the media are compiling their stories based on the Met Office press release. Not releasing the full dataset could lead to accusations of ‘spinning’ the data. The HadCRUT4 complete data is said to be available in a few days. There is no reason why the Met Office’s press release of the 19^th March could not have been held for a few days to coincide with the full data. In most other scientific disciplines this is standard practice.

New and Improved CRUTEM4 Global Land Surface Temperature Data vs IPCC AR4 (CMIP3) Climate Models | Bob Tisdale – Climate Observations

According to the models, the linear trend of the global land surface temperatures during the late warming period should be 6.6 times higher than during the early warming period.

...Yet according to the new and improved CRUTEM4 land surface temperature data, Figure 6, the land surface temperatures warmed during the late warming period at a rate that was only 40% higher than during the early warming period.
