Media reports are laced with unsubstantiated claims that man is overheating his planet. Every time climate change is mentioned in a story, even features in a newspaper’s food or fashion pages, it is understood that humans are turning Earth into a muggy greenhouse by burning fossil fuel. No evidence is provided to corroborate the claim. Man-made global warming just is and skeptics are deplorables.
But the facts tell a different story.
Roy Spencer, a University of Alabama-Huntsville climate scientist, has determined that “65% of the U.S. linear warming trend between 1895 and 2023 was due to increasing population density at the suburban and urban stations;

There was data , including photographic evidence, online 20 years ago detailing how bad siting of weather stations was making the temperature data incorrect. And every incorrect site would cause the temperature reported to be higher than it actually was.

The truth is that the global warming scam is useful to support the power of the global elite.

Well, I for one am glad that the GOP almost to a man or woman is fighting to keep funding the Green New Deal as I type this. Yes, that includes the President.

This has been known for decades now, mostly through the work of the founder of the Watts Up with That website. He documented the locations of every US weather station and showed how urban heat sinks artificially raised their temperatures over the years as the cities grew. Check out his site, it is worth visiting often.

Also NOAA has been messing around with past temperatures and "adjusting" them to supposedly make them more accurate due to technology changes are some such nonsense. They usually adjust them down, making it look as if our temperatures have been rising more substantially than previously believed.
Check out Tony Heller videos on youtube about this. That is if youtube hasn't removed them.
I can buy that the planet is warming because it has warmed and cooled countless times over the eons. All that happened without any human interference. But I will NOT accept that our small contribution to the total amount of a minor and beneficial greenhouse gas has any substantial effect on global temperatures.

Don't try to cornfuse me with data, sir. I know the truth. Mankind - I mean, peoplekind - are ruining Gaia with fossil fuels and carbon dioxide and just too damn many people. Save us, Greta. Save us!

Great timing! Skepticism could be coming back in style. The folks asking questions about Joe Biden's fitness for office, or global warming as "settled science", or interpreting the meaning of "86...47" aren't suffering from character flaws. They're operating with the sad knowledge that corporate media and corrupt politicians have a world view that is often at odds with those of Middle America. Jake Tapper helped illustrate how the MSM manages to shut down information it wants to keep for itself.

Well, when they talk about man-made global warming, they mean it by creating data and using bad data as per below.
FTA:
It’s inarguable that urban settings have amplified temperature readings. Three years ago, the Heartland Institute published a paper written by meteorologist Anthony Watts, which demonstrated that the ground-based system for measuring surface temperatures in the U.S. is unreliable. A follow-up to a 2009 study, the report noted that “approximately 96% of U.S. temperature stations fail to meet what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) considers to be ‘acceptable,’ uncorrupted placement. These findings strongly undermine the legitimacy and the magnitude of the official consensus on long-term climate warming trends.”
The stations have been recording tainted data are “located next to exhaust fans of air conditioning units, surrounded by asphalt parking lots and roads, located on blistering-hot rooftops, or placed near sidewalks and buildings that absorb and radiate heat.” Nine of 10 stations failed to meet the National Weather Service’s “own siting requirements, which stipulate that stations must be 30 meters (100 feet) or more away from an artificial or radiating/reflecting heat source.”
Then there are the “many stations” that often have missing, incomplete, or erroneous data. In some instances data gaps are plugged with “infilled” temperatures from nearby sites.

Yep, Garbage data in, garbage results out.

I live about 10 miles from an official reporting station at an airport. When it's clear, my semi-rural overnight temps are about 5 degrees cooler, daytime temps are equal to about 3 degrees cooler.

I just watched an excellent documentary on island tourist locations and it was ruined by constant mention of rising sea levels. Running concurrently are studies of land in places like Miami that is sinking due to the massive weight of heavy buildings being built in coastal locations.

The real crisis is that now everyone has their own facts. Science does not matter. Proof is ignored.
We have been effectively dumbed down as a society, so that we can be led around by the nose with fear tactics.
Any person who believes and has read the Bible knows that this earth stays here until God has had enough of the rebellion. We have no power to ruin His Creation.

This goes back right to the beginning of the 'Global Warming' narrative. Which, as we know started with the infamous IPCC report which was adopted as gospel back around 2007. This report was prepared from a project which divided the globe into 24 zones. Temperature sensors were placed inside rural mail box like containers for measurement. This box needed to clean, polished bright white colored to get an accurate reading. Which was of course impossible to maintain. Errors in the reading however were not on both sides but only higher than the true temperature. There errors were as low as 10% in the advanced world - West Europe, NE US/Canada etc. and as wide as 35- 40% in Affrica, Amazon or Siberia. The real average should have been a weighted average of all 24 zone readings. Instead, an arbitrary political decision was made to take the lowest i.e. 10% error for the entire sample. Why? To support the narrative of warming and a 'hockey stick'. Then a group of scientists went to court and forced divulsion and did their own study with proper weightage. The result the hockey stick turned into a wet noodle. Its all there if you have the patience to go look for it.

This article is fine, but the information has been known for years. The situation is so much worse than I&I discusses here. The general global narrative is that climate change is real and you are a criminal for not believing it. This belief is included in employee trainings at most every company/corporation, throughout academia, most media, etc., etc. There is much work to be done to expose this total lie.

Urban areas are only 3% of the area of the lower 48 states. So only 3% of the stations should be in urban areas.

The great writer Michael Crichton wrote all about weather stations surrounded by asphalt in his classic 2024 book State of Fear. Climatistas think the people that live here are stupid.

I'm glad to see the momentum building to undermine both the Global Warming myth and more importantly the scam.
Next - what is the actual age of the earth. What is the actual mechanism of the Big Bang theory? What is the actual mechanism of evolution -- talk about twisted facts in literature -- we will be amazed.
