NOAA reports that May, the period from March to May, and from January to May all have had the hottest combined global land and ocean surface temperatures since records began in 1880.

May’s combined global land and ocean surface temperature was 0.69°C above the 20th century average of 14.8°C, with land temps being 1.04°C above the average.

Ocean temperatures were the second warmest on record, coming in behind the 1998 record, with global ocean temps being 0.55°C above the average for the past century of 16.3°C.

Silly extrapolations that have no more value than any guess from the dullest wits on the planet.

Possibly, but there's also half a century of good data showing rising temperatures, and we have data from the last 50 years or so showing rapidly rising CO2.

you can: 1. deny the data 2. blame a conspiracy 3. find an alternative explanation for why the planet is warming 4. use straw-men to make silly arguments. 5. Accept that the planet is warming due to rising atmospheric CO2

That's irrelevant. CO2 levels have and are continuing to rise:

You can either deny that CO2 will cause the planet to warm, deny that CO2 is rising, or brush it off, but the facts are clear.

"However, if you examine Jaworowski's graph, it is clear that most of the CO2 measurements shown on the graph are inaccurate. The measurements for 1865, for example, vary from 290 to 550 parts per million. It just isn't possible for the CO2 concentration to change by that much in one year---"

See, Inuit, keep it simple.

Like this:

Ashley Ballantyne at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and colleagues analysed 4-million-year-old Pliocene peat samples from Ellesmere Island in the Arctic archipelago to find out what the climate was like when the peat formed.

At that time, CO2 levels are thought to have been close to current levels – around 390 parts per million – but global temperatures were around 2 to 3°C warmer than today. It was the last warm period before the onset of the Pleistocene glaciation, and is used by climate researchers as a model for our future climate.

Previous studies using computer models have suggested that the Pliocene Arctic was also warmer than it is today – up to 10°C warmer. A little warming can trigger a lot more in the Arctic because the loss of light-reflecting sea ice and the spread of plants across the land increase the amount of solar energy that is absorbed.

I'm not sure what you are arguing here, the list you posted says that 2007 is the hottest year on record, the rest talk about specific months.

Again, as I told you earlier, 2007 was indeed the hottest until 2010 while 2008 and 2009 were cooler.

Do you want to actually try and refute that, or just keep raising straw men?

Another IPCC Scandal - Sea levels NOT rising

According to expert reviewer for the IPCC

26 Feb 10 - Dr Nils-Axel Mörner, geologist, physicist, and one-time expert reviewer for the IPCC, announced this week that, contrary to IPCC claims, sea levels are not rising.

"Sea level is not changing in any way, " said Dr Mörner in an hour-long interview with Kim Greenhouse of "It's Rainmaking Time."

Dr. Mörner, who received his PhD in geology in 1969, is one of the greatest - if not the greatest - experts on sea levels in the world today. He has worked with sea level problems for 40 years in areas scattered all over the globe

There is no change, says Mörner. There is absolutely no sea-level rise in Tuvalo, there is no change here, and there is zero sea-level rise in Bangladesh. If anything, sea levels have lowered in Bangladesh.

We do not need to fear sea-level rise, says Mörner. "(However), we should have a fear of those people who fooled us."

Dear Dr. Osipov:

It has come to my attention that Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner gave presentations at the seminar on climate change organized by the Russian Academy of Sciences at the request of President Vladimir Putin earlier this month. Dr. Mörner attacked the science of climate change, while claiming that he is President of the Commission on Sea Level Change of INQUA.

I am writing to inform you that Dr. Mörner has misrepresented his position with INQUA. Dr. Mörner was President of the Commission on Sea Level Change until July 2003, but the commission was terminated at that time during a reorganization of the commission structure of INQUA. Dr. Mörner currently has no formal position in INQUA, and I am distressed that he continues to represent himself in his former capacity. Further, INQUA, which is an umbrella organization for hundreds of researchers knowledgeable about past climate, does not subscribe to Mörner’s position on climate change. Nearly all of these researchers agree that humans are modifying Earth’s climate, a position diametrically opposed to Dr. Mörner’s point of view.

Sincerely,
John J. Clague
President, INQUA

Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner
