Something is fishy with the claim that the Arctic is warming.
Using weather data from 1000 kilometers away?
and another explanation of how the rural data is "adjusted" and it shows warmer temperatures then actually happened , again this was supposed to be an adjustment to the urban temperatures to take out the "heat island effect", such as a temperature reading station being next to a hot air conditioner exhaust. Time after time the rural data is made warmer. Something is rotten in the state of temperature data.
It would be nice to have accurate data to see what is really going on. The Earth is warming out of an Ice Age, but how fast, in what ways, and do humans contribute, and if so by how much. There are too many problems with data collection and storage to say it is useful at this moment.
I think satellite data will cover more of the Earth and have less bias then ground measurements and the ground measurements have a troubling reduction in rural stations all over the world in the past twenty years.
