    Last month, we are told, the world enjoyed “its hottest March since records began in 1880”. This year, according to “US government scientists”, already bids to outrank 2014 as “the hottest ever”. The figures from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were based, like all the other three official surface temperature records on which the world’s scientists and politicians rely, on data compiled from a network of weather stations by NOAA’s Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN).But here there is a puzzle. These temperature records are not the only ones with official status. The other two, Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) and the University of Alabama (UAH), are based on a quite different method of measuring temperature data, by satellites. And these, as they have increasingly done in recent years, give a strikingly different picture. Neither shows last month as anything like the hottest March on record, any more than they showed 2014 as “the hottest year ever”.

    They can only keep up the lies and NOAA data corrections up for so long, before getting spanked...

    Telegraph? Just another Murdoch toilet paper spewing VRWC/BigCarbon propaganda and lies.

    Maybe, but it's better than that recycled toilet paper you read.

    The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF)? Talk about the right wing echo chamber.

    The GWPC issues a statement that the figures are lacking accuracy (a vague statement considering the numbers might be underestimating warming trends) then the Telegraph reports on it?

    For the curious, the GWPF was founded around the same time as the release of the Climategate Emails. It's chairman is noted AGW denier Nigel Lawson.

    Lord Lawson of Blaby has enjoyed a massive boost to his public profile over the past couple of years following the launch of his Global Warming Policy Foundation in November 2009.

    Many parts of the media now feel obliged to include the views of Lawson and other representatives of the foundation in reports about climate change issues in order to "balance" the statements made by mainstream researchers and policymakers.

    Given that the foundation's accounts suggest it only has about 80 members, it has been gaining an impressive amount of publicity in the media, particularly in the Telegraph, Mail and Express, newspapers that have adopted climate change scepticism as an editorial line.

    GWPF states that it is "deeply concerned about the costs (aka BIG CORP / BIG CARBON PROFITS! ) and other implications of many of the policies currently being advocated"

    Funding Source

    Because it is registered as a charity, the GWPF is not legally required to report its sources of funding,[13] and Peiser has declined to reveal its funding sources, citing privacy concerns. Peiser said GWPF does not receive funding "from people with links to energy companies or from the companies themselves."

    so it's VRWC UK stink tank polluted with climate denier s, with 100% secretive funding

    Plenty. Here's an article in the Guardian linking Lord Lawson to one of Europe's biggest coal companies.

    But what you think about the need to find out why the temperature measurement used is so flawed? Do you think this is just a right wing conspiracy?

    Why is it cringeworthy, Darrin?

    As for the OP -- how are surface temperatures taken by satellites anyway?

    I thought it was a clever idea, but the translator's pronunciation was too extreme, almost unintelligible, AND way too n!gg@.

    It's always funny how the news for them is the study occurring and never seems to be after the study concludes.

    You know that actually undermines the anti-warming argument, right?

    I don't think he realizes what the UAH dude is about. He is pretty dumb.
