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.

Maybe libtards just need to dump salt on the North Pole to melt it like they were suggesting in the 70s to save us!! #likealibtard
This is just gore and obama BULL SH____
You have to keep funds coming in ,what ever it takes
Kris Minefee
Explain why they renamed it climate change instead of global warming. The answer is obvious.
Im
Runnong my air conditioner on christmas eve and christmas day and night,
I went to fifties nasa pix of both n and s poles, then sixties, seventies pix,, wow what a shock
Recommend somebody do this , print out, mail to cruise and issa and that guy who took the snowcone fm the cafeteria snowcone machine and threw it at our senators
Heres idea
Next debate,, someone use a plane to fly over pole with this neal degrass tyson and bill mye guy to show it real live on tv in air
everything goes in cycles, last year they had more snow then they knew what to do with. in the 70’s it was the ice age coming in the 80’s. that never happened, so it became global warming to keep the funding. there are natural highs and lows to everything. in past history, we have had how many ice ages? two, how many do you remember, our part of world history is just a blip in the entire picture. All of the Global Warming data has been proven false, infant the person that falsified it has admitted doing so, yes people keep pounding that drum. and I am a Drummer. Give it up. It is jus a picture in time.
Another educated and intelligent statement.
Well, if NOAA hadn’t have cooked those stats, Obama and his ilk would have!
