I am very suspicious of "worldwide" figures on climate change. Do you have figures for a composite of advanced temperate zone cities that have lengthy periods of reliable records? If you tell me, say, that a composite of New York, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Denver, Atlanta, Washington DC, Raleigh, Nashville, Tokyo, London, Paris, Oslo, Stockholm, Berlin, Geneva, Vienna, Prague, Sydney, Perth, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro all broke records with a 10.8 º F positive anomaly over a 30 or 50 year moving average I might be concerned. Even then a super El Niño could pump the numbers.
The meaurements are world wide, it's available by sensors in cities why is that important?

Continuity, similarity of instruments, reliability etc. I am much more likely to consider a temperature measured at Newark Airport in 2015 to be similar to one in 1935, with perhaps some adjustment for the impact of the New Jersey Turnpike and I-78. I have less faith in measurements from the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Is there anyone on the board who doesn't believe in "Climate change"?
Earth's hot streak continues for a record 11 months
This breaks the record set in Jan & March, temperature rate seems to be increasing. If this continues 2016 will break last years record.
India and Africa are already seeing unusual temperatures, 160 dead in India from the heat and drought and this is only April.

March was 2.2 degrees (1.2 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 20th-century average. That's a record amount above average for any month, breaking the mark set only the month before. Africa and the Indian Ocean were especially warm, Blunden said.
The first three months of the year were 2.07 degrees warmer than normal (1.15 degrees Celsius) and half a degree (0.28 degrees Celsius) warmer than the previous record start, set last year.
That is a fairly dramatic increase over 2014 and 2016 is predicted to be even hotter. Also 5 of the warmest years on record in the last 10 years.
"It’s official: 2015 was the hottest year on record, beating out 2014 by the widest margin in 136 years of record keeping, U.S. government agencies announced Wednesday. But this new record may not stand for long, as one of the strongest El Niños ever measured combines with the continued warming of the planet to potentially push 2016 to yet another record.“2015 was remarkable even in the context of the larger, long-term warming trend,” Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said in a statement."
What is the correct average temperature of the this planet?
When the current El Nino collapses, will alarmists be reporting the most unprecedented single monthly drop in temperature since forever?
