Ground data is more reliable than satellites? Consider Greenland. Satellites used millions of temperature readings in Greenland last month. NOAA used zero actual readings in Greenland.

Global warming theory is based on troposphere temperatures which satellites measure, not urban heat islands and data tampering by criminals at NASA and NOAA.

NASA has known for 25 years that satellites are more accurate than surface temperatures, and that surface temperature measurements should be replaced.

The same criminals who claim (when convenient) that surface temperatures are more accurate, also feel the need to massively adjust them (when convenient) – because of their gross inaccuracies.

They can’t claim that surface temperatures are accurate, and then justify massive adjustments of surface temperatures.

The people behind this scam will engage in whatever tampering and lying is necessary to keep the White House happy.
