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.

What else is new
I wonder if they cook the Santa tracker data in order to prove his sleigh is outdated and needs to be moon powered.
Makes big bucks for some though. And that’s what it’s all about
Well they think Americans are that stupid! only Liberals are that stupid!
I just wonder who forced them to do that??
cooking the books hahaha wat a pun 🙂
Another agency that needs to be refunded. Pretty bad when you have to fudge the figures to “prove” climate change which is another excuse forvthevYN to get more control and Al gore, George Soros, Obama and their minion’s to rake in millions of OUR tax dollars
Yes itnis a crock. Billions spent to legitimize it.
Where are the fraud prosecutions?
Thanks a lot ! I get sick how we are letting Liberal tell us how we should act and think!
Delete these agency because it is worthless
