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.

Nothing but a giant scam since day one.
The Government will always fudge environmental issue testing to suit its position.
“Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis…”
Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority Of Scientists Skeptical Of Global Warming Crisis

The Inuit people living for centuries in the coldest part of the world declare there is no global warming. There is a shift in the axis a few millimeters and that is the cause, a change in where the sun and moon strike the earth but that is not global warming. Go figure, government wants money to support a fact not proven. I tend to believe the people living in the coldest climate to a bunch of money hungry government agencies.
In the ’70’s they swore up and down that in the early 80’s there would be an ice age so we needed to learn how to survive. Well when that did not happen and funding dried up, global warming became the ticket; and the money began pouring in and has not stopped.
“Skeptics advancing alternative explanations (hypotheses) for climate variability represent the way the researcher community used to operate, before politics, policy outcomes, and billions of dollars got involved.”

“Not every person who expresses doubt toward some part of this complex issue is wedded to shrill, Fox News anti-intellectualism. Nor do they all parrot nonsense, e.g. that winter snowstorms refute general atmospheric warming. You are likely to know individuals who claim to be rational, open-minded ‘AGW-skeptics.'”

More lies from the Evil Left
So you believe this lol polar ice caps aren’t melting global warming is a myth because this guy named his website truth and action so this is more credible
I like your sources
