Can We Trust Satellite Temperatures?

In case anyone was wondering where I’ve been, this has been in the oven for the last few days.

In coming days, we will hear announcements from NASA, NOAA and others that
2015 was the hottest year in the modern instrumental record.
There will be pushback from the likes of climate denier Ted Cruz, who
uses a misreading of satellite temperature data to claim, as he did
on Seth Meyer’s show – “no warming in 18  years”

This is the story of how that distortion came to be.

  1. Aren’t these the guys (aka Scientists!!) who got busted suppressing information and censoring doubters…

    As they say, follow the money and these tools have build a nice little business around this BS.

    Models are wrong, you are wrong, get a real job….


  2. From 2:53 Kevin Trenberth nails the Spencer — Christy duo to the wall with:

    When they made corrections they were still underestimated and they managed to do that at least three times, I think, which was unfortunate.

    Now, what is that old saying about once, twice and three times?


    1. ‘Unfortunate’ is actually a tremendous understatement considering the consequences that those data have led to. How many years now have the deniers been using that as a crutch for their lame assertion against a mountain of robust science that tells us that warming continues like a juggernaut?
      Spencer’s tell is that he is the prominent voice in The Cornwall Alliance…enough said. I don’t know what Christy’s agenda is.
