Fiddling With Temperature Data
The problem with the NOAA data is that it is fake data. NOAA creates the warming trend by altering the data.

The problem with the NOAA data is that it is fake data. NOAA creates the warming trend by altering the data.
In just the first 6 months of 2018, 254 scientific papers were published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate's fundamental control knob, or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related 'consensus' position commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources.
The grounding of a research cruise vessel in a remote polar region the last week of August was a reminder of the hazards of increased ship traffic in an ice-free Arctic.
Climate scientist James Hansen called it ' a fraud really, a fake,' and President Donald Trump called it a 'massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries.' And this odd couple of alarmist scientist and skeptical politician agreed: the Obama led Paris climate accord was all about lobbyists and imaging, not climate change reports Robert Bradley. 1
Many corporations provide funding to environmental groups and the level of funding has been growing. As Steve Goreham says, “We're talking big dollars here. Corporate funding of environmental groups amounts to hundreds of million of dollars per year.
Despite a rapid local sea level rise nearly 3 times the global mean (1.8 mm/yr), 15 of 28 studied atoll islands in the southwest Pacific increased in shoreline area during 2005 to 2015, according to a new study. For the 3 islands that experienced extreme shoreline erosion, with one atoll island even 'disappearing', a category 5 cyclone was identified as the most likely casual factor. Consequently, the authors concluded that 'the dramatic impacts of climate change felt on coastlines and people across the Pacific are still anecdotal.' 1
Two of the world's biggest polluters are China and Russia. You would think that US environmental groups would be major critics of these countries, yet the reality is some take money from entities controlled by these governments and disseminate their propaganda. 1
“When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world's population lives in poverty; why the world's population is increasing; how many girls finsih school—we systematically get the answers wrong.
China has more laboratory scientists than any other country, outspends the entire European Union on research and development, and produces more scientific articles than any other nation except the United States. But in its rush to dominance, China has stood out in another, less boastful way. (1)
Solar Roadways incorporated is a start-up company in Sandpoint, Idaho aiming to develop solar powered road panels to form a highway that provides energy. The plan is to replace the repaving of a road with some sort of processing that will leave it in a condition to accept hexagonal solar panels and their associated wiring and networking needs. 1
Nowadays, some folks are raising alarm about third hand smoke—residual chemicals, essentially particulate matter, left on indoor surfaces by tobacco smoke.
Germany is the poster child for the global warming movement. However, after the government decided to reduce subsidies to the solar industry in 2012, the industry nose-dived. By this year, virtually every major German solar producer had gone under as new capacity declined by 90 percent and new investment by 92 percent.
We are routinely warned by earnest websites, advertisements, and well-meaning popular articles about 'nasty' chemicals lurking in our homes and kitchens. Many tout the benefits of switching to a 'chemical-free lifestyle.' 1 However, there is no way to get away from chemicals since everything we eat is made of chemicals. There simply is no such thing as a 'chemical-free lifestyle.'
India is going to use coal as its backbone energy for the next thirty years, is buying coal mines all around the world, and will double production by 2020 to a massive 1,500 million tons per annum. 1
Grim predictions of the imminent demise of polar bears have been touted since at least 2001.
Yet tales of doom and gloom about polar bears reflect what some people think might happen in the future, not what is happening right now. Currently, polar bears are doing just fine despite the low summer sea ice coverage they've experienced since 2007. In other words, there has been no global population decline as predicted: officially the numbers were 22,000-31,000 (or 26,500 average) in 2015 but about 28,500 when estimates published since then are included. 1
Some European countries, particularly Germany and Denmark, have invested heavily in electricity generation from solar and wind sources with the result that the cost of electricity has increased substantially. 1
Biologists studying animal life on Antarctica believed that a particular species of penguin was in peril, undergoing precipitous population decline since the 1970s. However, new findings show a massive discovery of the black-and-white seabirds—mainly because researchers missed looking on one group of islands on the tip of the continental peninsula. 1
Many folks worldwide live in constant fear of chemicals. High up on the list are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as hydrocarbons, which vaporize easily. VOCs come from gasoline combustion and from evaporation of liquid fuels, solvents, and organic chemicals such as those in some paints, cleaners, nail polish remover, soaps, pesticides, and even we humans.
There are many reasons why some people think about drinking raw milk, which is milk that has not been pasteurized to kill harmful germs. Some people want to eat less processed food. Others have heard that raw milk contains more of certain nutrients than pasteurized milk, or that it can prevent or even solve various health problems. Still others think buying raw milk is one way to support local farmers and sustainable agriculture. 1
'Tuvalu, the poster child for sea level rise, is not shrinking but rather is actually growing!
Tuvalu's prime minister has said that Tuvalu was 'the world's first victim of climate change,' and that 'the greenhouse effect and sea level rise threaten the very heart of our existence.' 1
