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 a joke
Climate change just another way of robbing the American people of taxpayers money, HOAX dreamed up by CORRUPT politicians and scientist
No surprise.
A hoax
No way you mean we were right all along about global warming being b******t?
If you have to fudge numbers the science isn’t settled.
Imagine that
The ice caps will be gone and both coasts will be under water by 2013! — Wait! — What!? — It’s 2017 and the ice caps are growing!? — Um,, NEVER MIND.
In the 1970s it was “the coming ice age” that was going to bury us in a sheet of ice. Then they decided it was “global warming” that would turn the planet into a frying pan. Now its “climate change”, because they can’t figure out what to call it to perpetuate the phony crisis.
So far NOT ONE prediction from the climatological prophets of doom has come to pass. It looks like Al Gore may have “AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH” of his own to deal with. There’s far more money and politics involved here than science.
If 97% of “climate scientists” agree that the “science is settled”, why are the scientists not out ringing the alarm instead of the pseudo scientists, has been celebrities, and washed up politicians who are trying to perpetuate this farce.
Did you ever notice that the people who scream the loudest about “climate change” are the ones who have the biggest “carbon footprint”? Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, etc.
Liberal hypocrisy at it’s finest.
This is nothing new. people need to pay attention to the news and read more. This story that they fudged numbers is like 7 or 8 years old. Hell they said this is the result we want now give us the math to make it so. Thanks Al Gore.
charge those responsible or does thar happen anymore
