Updates to UEA's temperature dataset show global warming worsening
The UEA and Met Office work together on HadCRUT
The University of East Anglia and the Met Office have announced improvements to their global temperature dataset.
HadCrut is considered one of the world's leading databases of global temperature, containing data from as far back as 1850.
The updates include increasing the number of weather stations data is collected from.
Dr. Colin Morice of the Met Office said: “Each of the main global temperature datasets, including those by NOAA and NASA, are compiled separately using different methods, but each is based on a finite amount of global temperature observations. The range of approaches results in very similar estimates of overall warming and provides scientific confidence in the changes seen and also reinforces the fact that the world has warmed considerably since the mid nineteenth century.”
