I don’t understand why they need thermometers on the ground. We’ve got literally billions of dollars worth remote-sensing satellites in orbit that can make these measurements.
The satellites are more accurate and show no warming. Even after they tweek the measurements. So it means the Earth has been cooling, if you look at raw sat data. The oligarchy has bet their bubble economic farm on a warming planet. So there will warming, no matter how many data sets and humans are killed in the process.
