Latest UAH Global Temperatures

I'm sure you've seen this:



from:

Dr. Spenser's website.

I think it is important to note that he notes the following:

Quote:[NOTE: These satellite measurements are not calibrated to surface thermometer data in any way, but instead use on-board redundant precision platinum resistance thermometers carried on the satellite radiometers.]

Is this the only current global measurement that is not either surface data or calibrated to surface data? If so, it may be the only one worthy of note unless or until the surface data is "recalibrated" to it's "un-messed around with" state.

I thought it was interesting that the El-Nino effect seems to be confined mostly in the Tropics,where there is warming,but most other regions are cooling.

Could it be because the high point for El-Nino is still later this year? Then we see a warming trend again away from the tropics region?

Or,

Could it be something else?

Doesn't it look a "flat" temperature plot overall.
