The graphs demonstrate that to diurnal and seasonal asymmetry observed in the US is a global observation.Silly... If you took even an entry level science class you would realize that graphers often use wider scales to show more resolution. That's only smart. In your first and last graph, you should use more resolution to demonstrate your point.
Many share the understanding that the biosphere's heated up 1.5C since 1850. The fact that there's no agreement on what the temperature is now (much less what it was in 1850) is a big problem undermining the entire warming theory....a global observation. The minimum temperature have been warming...

Just the biosphere? First time for everything.Many share the understanding that the biosphere's heated up 1.5C since 1850.

My understanding is that the average global
temperature is up about a degree (0.8°C & 1.4°F)
Bingo - That's why I stole your quote for a tagline.
The anomaly temperature is closer to .94 C since 1850.Many share the understanding that the biosphere's heated up 1.5C since 1850. The fact that there's no agreement on what the temperature is now (much less what it was in 1850) is a big problem undermining the entire warming theory.
...there's no agreement on what the temperature is now (much less what it was in 1850)...
That's the answer we usually hear, it's sounds impressive and means nothing. If some kid wants to stay home from school saying he's got a fever of "plus 5C anomaly", you tell him to go to school even if he watched TV when he should have been doing his homework.The anomaly temperature is closer to .94 C since 1850...
The observed data are "unknown", yet the increase in taxes for fixing the whatever is announced to the exact penny.There is an unknown factor of how the heat island effect has skewed those readings though.
--more or less depending on how hysterical we're supposed to get, that's how we know this is politics, not science.Just the biosphere? First time for everything.

--and if it comes from NASA we don't have to rely on our lying eyes. After all, they explain--It's not a big problem at all, as NASA explains: Anomalies vs. Temperature
I know the anomaly temperatures mean nothing now, the GISS used to say the reference number was 14 C, but no longer say that.That's the answer we usually hear, it's sounds impressive and means nothing.

You tell the air conditioner salesman that you're paying $300 for an AC that lowers the temp to 70°F and after the check clears he says that the AC's guaranteed to keep the room at -4°F anomaly, not 70°F. You demand your money back.
Someone tell me what "anomaly" temp does ice melt?

Science tells us that the mass of the earth is 5.972 × 10^24 kg. Not 5.973 and not 5.971. We also know that that the sun provides 173,000 terawatts continuously, and we know it's not 172,000 and not 174,000 terawatts. If we say the average specific heat of the entire earth is like what granite is (0.790 J/gm K) then it would take ALL the suns energy tens of hundreds of thousands of years to heat the entire earth 1 degree C.
That's when the alarmists say there's no global warming, just biosphere warming...

I am not even sure we can safely say the same measuring stick is used across the board.
It's amazing that the scientific community can agree that the temperature of the sun's surface is 5,778K (a hundred miles away they got four significant figures) but with the earth's surface we're getting some kind of 'science blackout' where nobody wants to say anything....not even sure we can safely say the same measuring stick is used across the board.
47 terawatts of heat are conducted from below to the surface, but the rate of conductivity is low enough that the effect is ignored for most applications. Advocates of AGW ignore heat conduction in the crust and talk only about the heating of the atmosphere and oceans.Except the heat conduction doesn't travel very deep.
The surface of the sun is determined differently.It's amazing that the scientific community can agree that the temperature of the sun's surface is 5,778K (a hundred miles away they got four significant figures) but with the earth's surface we're getting some kind of 'science blackout' where nobody wants to say anything.
At some point all the thermometers need to be calibrated to a standard.There is no reference number, nor does there need to be one - that's exactly the point. While it is difficult to define the temperature of the Earth as a whole, it is perfectly possible to determine how much its temperature has risen or fallen, i.e. the temperature anomaly.
Just think about it. Say you have 100 thermometers dotted around the globe - what is the average temperature of the Earth? The mean of these temperature readings? No, not necessarily, because the thermometers may not be in representative locations. Now imagine that, over time, the mean temperature indicated by the thermometers rises by 1 C. We still don't know for sure what the absolute temperature of the Earth is, but do know that its temperature has risen by about 1 C. This is the temperature anomaly.
---which is why my thinking always ends up w/ the conclusion that if we don't know what temperatures things are, then we can't say which is hotter or cooler than the other.The surface of the sun is determined differently.
The GISS cannot even agree on how to collect the data.
The errors from the different collection methodologies could be greater than the observed increase.
