Noaa says May was a fire burner of a month globally!!!

[Pop23]

The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for May 2015 was the highest for May in the 136-year period of record, at 0.87°C (1.57°F) above the 20th century average of 14.8°C (58.6°F), surpassing the previous record set just one year ago by 0.08°C (0.14°F). This ties with February 1998 as the fourth highest monthly departure from average for any month on record. The two highest monthly departures from average occurred earlier this year in February and March, both at 0.89°C (1.60°F) above the 20th century average for their respective months.

May seen .87c!!! Number one!
January through May seen .85!!! Yet again number one!!!

The first five months of 2015 were the warmest such period on record across the world's land and ocean surfaces, at 0.85°C (1.53°F) above the 20th century average, surpassing the previous record set in 2010 by 0.09°C (0.16°F). Consequently, 2010 was the last year with El Niño conditions; however El Niño was ending at this point in 2010, while it appears to be maturing at the same point in 2015.

How many data points does one need to create an "average global temperature"?

And how do you calibrate a temperature device used in 1900 with one used in 2015?

Answer, with fairy dust?

Still cracks me up, all this fuss and the base data is impossible to claim as accurate.

The error range of the worst piece of equipment in use, or used in the record is the minimum spread of uncertainty. Claiming accuracy of hundredths of a degree when +/-0.2 degrees is the error band is shear stupidity.

Doesn't matter - global warming isn't man made. Just as soon as it cools down for a little bit I'll claim its not even happening. I'm a denialist so I'll always take the path of least possible resistance to denial.
