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.

Pssst Brent Vanderwood the data was manipulated. BTW one year doesn’t represent climate.
Do you remember those “Global Warming” scientist that set out last year to prove that the ice was melting….. The “Ice Breaker” got stuck in the ice for weeks….also in 1890 there were some really warm days in December. The “Climate” changes All the time …. Global Warming….I don’t think so.
Create a fear,then sell the solution.
Tim Phelps… FACT: according to official meteorology data, there were over 4000 record breaking high temperatures in 2015 alone. The comment about the icebreaker has nothing to do with global warming. Global warming in fact creates irratic weather swings as ocean temperatures and jet streams start to have greater and greater fluctuations…some areas will get much colder, some areas much warmer…droughts, floods and extreme weather disasters will increase, intensity of storms will increases … example: tornadoes on the US average around 20 for the month of december in recent history. .. in 2015 the were over 70! Most likely the result of the record breaking El Nino [the strogest in recorded history] the permafrost of the Artic is melting, evidence shows massive glacers have disappeared… we can go on and on and on. Human overpopulation is without any argument whatsoever is contributing to global warming as a whole…hundreds of millions are due to die…the governments of the world will just create the best confusion they can in order to keep the masses occupied with doubt as they prepare for what and who will be saved… good luck to you and your family.
That’s a shocker NOT
Oops
FRAUD…..period
No!! Really?? It can’t be..

Was there any doubt?
Obama’s plan to tax Americans. It isn’t about weather its about making America poor and insignificant while promoting a new world order.
We see right through you tootsoon
