    September 2016 was the warmest September in 136 years of modern record-keeping, according to a monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.

    September 2016's temperature was a razor-thin 0.004 degrees Celsius warmer than the previous warmest September in 2014. The margin is so narrow those two months are in a statistical tie. Last month was 0.91 degrees Celsius warmer than the mean September temperature from 1951-1980.

    I always enjoy seeing the Spencer record. Not because it is from thermometers at the bottom of the atmosphere (it isn't). Instead, because of the slow overall increase visible even within such high variability.

    That Dr. Spencer does not disagree when other folks misinterpret his work (which actually is a lot of work - well, that's his business not mine.
