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.

Any intelligent person understands a lie and propaganda when they read it, unless your goal is to become a billionaire off the backs of tax payers. If these people really wanted to clean the earth they would start with cleaning rivers, lakes, land fields etc. they would create was to completely remove all garbage and that doesn’t mean from one location to another. The trash thrown into rivers and land is disgusting. The cities and streets are full of filth. But they want it’s not about climate change or the planet warming it’s about money the same reason people become politicians to become powerful and rich

Thomas I have studied it for quite sometime, we are most certainly doing something to the global climate, the problem with secular proposed solutions is they ignore the biggest problems we face when it comes to climate change, the carbon tax is a farce, the earth has a natural and very extensive carbon cycle, algae in the ocean consumes more C02 than any forests or grasslands, they having been getting more massive in size every year of the industrial revolution. The polarisation and shift of the Climate is coming mostly from the degradation of the ozone and the emission of nitrogen oxides and particulate matters. Now repairing the ozone at the caps has caused the ice to melt quicker (the mechanism behind this is funky, something to do with upper atmosphere winds), the point is our government is using a scientific consensus to gain power without doing anything to actually stop climate change.
Also scientists have been fudging numbers to keep government funding, this is economics.
So….that whole glaciers melting thing…that’s cool right?

2014 and now 2015 — the warmest years on record. Read something besides right-wing liars with an agenda. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2015/jun/08/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-noaa-global-warming-faux-pause-paper
Ever hear of El Niño Dennis Nagel? It causes an abnormal shift in the jet stream. While the East has had above normal temperatures, the West has been clobbered with snow. That is called weather, not climate perhaps you should learn the difference.
