UPDATE: We updated this article to address concerns after a reader cited research and recommendations by the fact-checking organization Climate Feedback.
Climate Feedback presented their analysis of our source article, including academic publications by several of its contributors. They concluded the article contained misleading and unsupported details:
Key Take Away
Temperature measurements made with different instruments and methods over time must necessarily be adjusted to ensure high-quality records of temperature that reliably represent changes. The adjustments needed for land stations in the United States often increase the apparent long-term warming, but overall, adjustments actually reduce the global warming trend.
What does an organization do when the real numbers don’t support the agenda they are pushing?
Sometimes they fudge the numbers. Cherry pick what helps prop up the lie and ignore the real facts.
This happens so often that The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been doing just that in order to support their biggest science scandal: global warming. Selling their brand of science, their “truth” about global warming brings in extra funding, yet their data is off by 50%.
For the past 18 years, satellites have shown no global warming, where as the “the land based data sets like the ones maintained by NOAA for the US Historical Climate Network (USHCN) continue to show a warming trend.” How can this be?
One explanation, by meteorologist Anthony Watts, shows NOAA using readings from areas that experience Urban Heat Island effect, that is instruments surrounded by buildings, roads or airports nearby which raises the temperatures due to local “environment” and not climate or weather.

And they think all non liberals are idiots and are laughing all the way to the bank.
you are right on the mark nasa just posted a mont ago the ice caps are thicker than ever and this is just designed to cripple countries that arent part of he elites the tpp is part of it too biggest scam in history
They got too cook them if not there too COLD other wise LOL,a ship load of layers LOL
Whatever. It’s 70 degrees in NY on Christmas Eve.
hold up.. almost every scientist agrees that global warming is the issue, but global climate change is definitely real. are you seriously trying to tell me right now that we can alter the earths carbon cycle, destroy entire ecosystems, and poison our oceans and air without an adverse effects?
ok hold up people. almost every scientist agrees that global warming is not the issue, but global climate change is definitely real. are you seriously trying to tell me right now that we can alter the earths carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and nitrogen cycles, destroy entire ecosystems, and poison our oceans and air without an adverse effects?
Wow, this story on this page was debunked more than six months ago. You people are just sad.
I don’t think anyone will disagree that we should do what we can to stop pollution and protect the earth but to call it global warming and climate change is just a big scare tactic used for political means
If we had no problems with global warming back when all of the Steel mills and all of the other industries pumping out pollutants far worse than anything we put in the air today.
You’re showing your Sheepness!
