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.

I find that hard to believe? When Al gore told us the polar cap would be gone by 2013, that cap is gone!!!!
LOFL at you global warming denying dummies and at the debunked and discredited idiot Anthony Watts

This is no joke. It’s worse now. https://vimeo.com/99934803
What else is the government lying about?
If global warming isn’t real, why is their a dead pool of scientist and a list of world governments complaining about weather modification? Can anyone answer this?
I guess the rest of the world is in on it too?
nooooooo
The sad thing is that once they drink the climate change koolaid they don’t care about anything that shows it’s false. Because some communist professor told them so that’s it, nothing else matters. It’s all about the $$$$$$ 3 trillions dollars anually to redistribution.
That’s a snapshot in time not a picture in time. One day. And typical for that time. And it will continue to change! As it always has. We probably won’t survive the changes but the earth and its environment will. At least until the Sun engulfs our planet in a couple BILLIONS years. That’s a loooogn time.
