Chasing a More Accurate Global [Climate] Trend

NASA Goddard, whose climate research is led by nutty extremist James Hansen, provides the world with the pretense of credibility through the NASA name. But, their alarmist presentations rely entirely upon deeply flawed surface temperature measurement stations and completely ignore the far more reliable satellite data. Anybody wonder why?

Quoting Joseph D’Aleo, CCM, AMS Fellow
(I inserted the first link):

“The long term global temperature trends have been shown by numerous peer review papers to be exaggerated by 30%, 50% and in some cases much more by issues such as urbanization, land use changes, bad siting, bad instrumentation, and variable ocean measurement techniques that changed over time. NOAA made matters worse by removing the satellite ocean temperature measurement which provide more complete coverage and was not subject to the local issues except near the coastlines and islands. The result has been the absurd and bogus claims by NOAA and the alarmists that we are in the warmest decade in 100 or even a 1000 years or more. See this earlier story that summarizes the issues.”

Even some self-described Liberals in the media are beginning to understand how laughably unreliable the “official” surface temperature measurements are. Thomas Fuller notes (I inserted the link):

“Anthony Watts of Watt's Up With That has surveyed 80% of the USHCN surface temperature measurement sites and found that only 11% of them meet siting specifications.”
