Read here. In many areas of the world, surface temperatures are fabricated due to their being too few weather stations collecting information and/or the weather stations are not well maintained to produce reliable information. As a result, climate scientists will fabricate temperatures based on their own preferred "adjustment" scheme. Now that we have satellites flying over these areas recording accurate temperatures, it seems that these major land areas have been reporting temperatures significantly higher than what the satellites report. Ahhh, good old scientific fraud....ain't it grand!
"So I am saying there are HUGE inconsistencies in satellite minus surface figures around the globe. Post ClimateGate – it is interesting that we heard the Russians speaking out against the quota of warming IPCC/CRU/Jones find in Russian datasets."
