104. US southern states - summary of temperature trends

Over the last month I have examined the temperature trends of five different US states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida) that surround, or are within 100km of (in the case of Georgia), the Gulf of Mexico. These all appear to have similar trends to that of Texas that I examined in Post 52. All have negative or stable temperature trends over the last 100 years. For comparison their temperature trends are republished here with identical data ranges (from 1900) and fitting ranges (1911-2010). What is clear is that none of these trends is remotely similar to either the Berkeley Earth (BE) versions for each state based on adjusted data, or the global trends published by NOAA, NASA-GISS, BE, HadCRU etc.


Fig. 104.1: The mean temperature change for Texas. The best fit has a slight negative gradient of -0.15 ± 0.15 °C per century.



Fig. 104.2: The mean temperature change for Louisiana. The best fit has a negative gradient of -0.38 ± 0.15 °C per century.



Fig. 104.3: The mean temperature change for Mississippi. The best fit has a negative gradient of -0.76 ± 0.17 °C per century.



Fig. 104.4: The mean temperature change for Alabama. The best fit has a negative gradient of -0.72 ± 0.17 °C per century.



Fig. 104.5: The mean temperature change for Georgia. The best fit has a negative gradient of -0.76 ± 0.16 °C per century.



Fig. 104.6: The mean temperature change for Texas. The best fit has a slight positive gradient of +0.08 ± 0.13 °C per century.
