I'll take your bet but first we'll need to agree on a single source of measurement. My first nomination is the NASA GISS Global Annual Mean Surface Air Temperature Index.

How about a combination of measurements? GISS, Hardcrut, UAH, and RSS?


Do you mean average them from 2010 - 2015?

Sure, i dislike relying on one specific one, especially if it is gubermint funded :) (yes i know all have government funding but NASA is a little more direct) My feeling is we will know by 2013 whether the Met office climate models are predicting correctly.


No, they are all directly funded by the government. HADCRUT by the UK gov, GISSTEMP by NASA, UAH by evil government grants and RSS is also NASA
