Didn't realise this was going on still as a thread. News from two days ago pretty much sorts the whole thing.
Debate is finished, facts have been fully established. Recent NASA report states bluntly and clearly:

"Earth’s 2015 surface temperatures were the warmest since modern record keeping began in 1880, according to independent analyses by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Done. Its just fact

Do you think that is a measure of weather or climate ?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

You'd think that NASA's Goddard Institute for SPACE Studies would use satellites for measuring the planet's temps, but no they use a bunch a thermometers on the ground so thinly spread out they have to make up readings for areas that aren't covered and then adjust the readings.

well the wonderful thing about thermometers on the ground is the fact that they are so cheap, and always there 24/7/365.
and satellites doing much of the climate monitoring are in low earth orbit, typically polar orbits, so get to measure the poles 15 times per day each, but at the equator is typically about 3 days to get full coverage of 2 measurements (one going north, one going south, so one day, one night).
Now I can't speak for Goddard specifically, but NASA, NOAA, etc. most certainly do use space ships. But when they do, the don't limit data to space data just because they "do space". But I bet* they are using satellites to monitor the sea temperatures, since that's where a lot of the thermal energy is stored and released.
*know.
Nice bit of dummy throwing back there.

@micasmith,
Indeed. If you can get the big boys such as China, India, the USA to set an example then maybe everyone else will willingly follow suit. . . . .
