What if the calendar year started on december first?
Would 2020 be the warmest year on record?
Please be civil, any trollish attempt to slander Dirac by accusing anyone that disagrees with them shall be reported as such.
Use Wood For Trees, I don't want to post link not to ghost question.
Hi A.J. that's why I asked. You can do august to august or whatever month you wish, I asked for fun. Just because we start the years with the Gregorian calendar does not mean we can't have fun plotting the years starting at a different month.
Be imaginative, look at the world from a different perspective :)

Boomer, where do you get *your* tainted info from, Rush Limbaugh and denial websites? You're not too bright...and you have no critical thinking skills.
Special thanks to A.J.

I couldn't find an easy place to find the answer to that. I think it's easier to answer questions like that for the U.S., because NCDC or somebody has a website that let's you do comparisons like that, but I don't know of any for global temperature. You could, of course, just download the monthly data from NASA GISS or BEST or another source and do the comparison, but that's a bit too much work right now.
As usual, it's a bit hard to understand what Solar Wind is going on about. I think he is shocked to find out that it's generally cold when get poleward of 50 degrees south. I'm pretty sure that most intelligent people have known that for centuries. He can't counter the actual global mean temperature rising with real numbers, so he shows a plot of some unknown quantity called the "misery index" and ignores trends completely. It's too bad he's never taken the time to learn any science.

What if gravity suddenly reversed itself? What if water stopped being wet? What if the sky actually did fall? What if the light only came on when the fridge was closed?
If you're going to ask what-if questions, try not to pretend they're related to any kind of science. What-iffing is fun, science (except maybe gynaecology) is not.

That's because the calendar is off. The seasons are moving slower than the calendar. When I was young, March was semi warm. Now its still really cold in March. At one point my hair used to freeze in September, when school started. I'd wait for the bus and my hair would freeze

Hey, I have already been skiing this year. A co-worker has relatives in Argentina and they are complaining about the cold and wet weather they have been experiencing going into their Spring.
Where do you get your tainted info from? Someone living in the tropics.
Update: Well baby, I encourage you to step outside and monitor the change for yourself. I'm an avid skier and outdoors person who has witnessed first hand the winter season expanding. I don't sit in a room and pound a keyboard parroting unreliable information from academic sit ins.

Any global heat is where it should be, in the tropics.
Null School Misery Index average feels like temperatures: Grey = -34 C,
Blue = -14 C, Red = 33 C, Yellow = 41 C. Date of chart is December 8, 2020.
Notice the southern hemisphere where is supposed to be Spring.
In the northern hemisphere's bread basket areas there are unharvested crops under ice and snow. This is reality not made up numbers.

Whatever you say, Dirac the Cuck.

2020 may be the warmest year in recorded temperatures, or close to it, but the start date of a year is somewhat arbitrary and doesn't change a 12 month cycle except shifting it.
Accounting years start on different dates.
The north/south hemispheres have different angles to the sun so cold in north is warm in the southern and vice-versa.
I don't know whether a month shift adding Dec 2019 and subtracting Dec 2020 would raise this year above other December to November years.
