WMO PROVIDED ANOMALIES WITHOUT THE BASELINE TEMPERATURE
The World Meteorological (WMO) could not provide baseline temperatures for the 1951-1980 and 1961-1990 periods in any of its 1993 to 2003 climate reports until 2004. All they provided in the meantime were average temperature anomalies which were usless in their claim to have provided global temperatures in either of the two periods and could not have been gathered from any of the six international major climate authorities whom they claimed to have consulted.

The six international data sets who usually provide temperatures to the WMO had nothing until 2004. The six included European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Japan Meteorological Agency, NASA, US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), UK’s Met Office and the CRU, Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia (HadCRUT), or the Berkeley Earth.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), 10 January 2025, has confirmed 2024 at 15.31 C (59.558 F), slightly cooler than 1994 at 15.32 C (59.576 F) based on six international datasets. Both years exceeding the dreaded 15.26 C, 1.5°C above 1850-1900 average of 13.76 C when extreme weather is more likely.
Based on records 1990 was considered the warmest year on record at that time slightly exceeding the previous records just ahead of 1988, 1987, 1994 and 2024 in order of warmth. While exact global averages varied slightly between agencies (NASA, NOAA, WMO) during that period, reports from that era indicated the average global temperature in 1990, was by far the warmest at 15.45 C (59.8°F).

No baseline temperatures in the period 1993- 2003 which means no one actually knew because they would otherwise have informed the WMO.
The WMO and CRU East Anglia need to answer why it suddenly dropped temperatures in 1995 through to 1998 by more than one degree Celsius to 14.44 C especially when it is still on record of having posted the 1915 temperature, along with NASA and British Met Office, at 15.00 C in 1915.
They were never going to be able to show warming with the temperatures they measured in 1993 and 1994 at 15.20 C and 15.31 respectively. If they wanted to show global warming they would have to drop temperatures to 14.20 C to provide a pathway back up to 15.31 C in 2024 after which small variations up and down will occur to keep the public on edge.
The temperatures of anomalies were posted by the combined opinion of the six major monitoring authorities, why couldn’t they also reveal the temperatures of the baseline periods.
The global surface temperature in 2025 at 15.20 C closely resembled the 1993 global temperature at 15.21 C, some 32 years earlier, at 1.45 C above the 1850-1900 average of 13.76 C or 0.21 C above the 1951-1980 baseline temperature of 15 C. The global average surface temperature in 2025 was 1.44 °C above the 1850-1900 average, according to WMO’s consolidated analysis of eight datasets.
That was the state of the art with all the recognised temperature measuring authorities posting average Global temperatures over a decade or so but they have not explained why they dropped temperatures from 15.31 C in 1994 to 14.20 C in 1995? ….anyone??
The WMO gathers average temperature data from the six major monitoring authorities. Unfortunately none of the six data sets were able to provide the WMO with baseline temperatures that they required to calculate global temperatures until 2004.
WMO’s State of the Global Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense heat, heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies. This is clearly fraud committed by the publicly funded WMO. There is much conjecture surrounding the use of more recent periods let alone guessing what the temperatures were in 1890 !
