Read here. Across the globe, the land, the atmosphere and the seas have been cooling over the last several years. For the global warming research community this is not good, especially with future funding depending on the success of Copenhagen talks in December. Copenhagen needed WARMING, and it looks like NOAA delivered.
How? By eliminating the most advanced, sophisticated temperature measurement instruments the world has from the temperature record database. No more satellite measurements. No more Argo ocean buoy measurements. Billions of U.S. dollars spent on technology wasted because NOAA doesn't like the reported cooling temperatures these instruments recorded for the oceans? Looks to be so.
