Satellite Measured Temperatures for December (above average, again)
http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/climatechange/satellite-measured-temperature-3/21681950According to RSS, December 2013 ended up as the 10th warmest December globally in the satellite record, which goes back to 1979.
Globally, temperatures average .158 degrees C. above normal.
However, the contiguous U.S. averaged 1.258 degrees C. below normal for December, which comes as no surprise. It was even colder relative to normal up in Canada.

Imagine that, global warming research uses data from, well, the ENTIRE globe and not just North America. Fox News would be shocked.
