Beam me to Planet Gore !

I'm not quite sure what to think about this one quite yet. But the story has been circulating, and several people have pointed it out to me - so I'd like to at least share it with the readership.
Recently, someone noticed that the collaborative NOAA/Michigan-State Great Lakes "Coastal Watch" environmental program had produced some interesting maps of water temperature data for Lake Michigan. This was pointed out to John O'Sullivan, the very able British-American journalist who set up the "Climate Change Fraud" web site in the wake of the Climategate scandal.
Interestingly, as soon as John wrote about this topic, the map disappeared off the Michigan State web site that had been hosting it.
But fortunately, someone had the presence of mind to save a copy of the file - and you can find it here.
If you open that map and zoom in, you'll immediately be struck by the very bizarre water temperatures reported therein.
More below the fold.

This is big and breaking.
Apparently, NOAA’s global temperature-monitoring satellites are seriously degraded and have been giving bum readings for years. They’ve been trying to cover it up for a long time and now the fraud is revealed and just about every temperature trend database is totally corrupted.
Go to www.climatechangefraud.com for the best story.
The hits just keep coming...
That whole map is effed up...no conspiracy here just bad technology. But given “Climategate” that data will probably make it into the stats...
Fish soup for everybody! Bring your spoon! Pass the seafood sauce! Y’all come!
Gee, Lake Michigan is nothing but steam underneath. Who knew?
Bush’s Fault!!!!!
Damn Asian carp....
Embarrassing, to be sure. I have to wonder whether enough of these readings have been incorporated into the data upon which climate warming theories are built to have biased any of the conclusions upward. (Not that politically motivated researchers couldn't have found another way).
Oh, yeah, that’s Lake Michigan - just one big old boiling cauldron.
Seriously, how much hotter can water get if the boiling point is 212F?
Maybe they meant Celsius....
Steam can, and should, be superheated for use in steam turbines. Temperature of superheated steam is in the 600 degreeF range. The old steam boilers used on UL cargo ships had inner stage steam running through it in excess of 600 degrees. Steam becomes invisible at that temperature, which makes steam leaks extremely dangerous.
My pressure cooker, at 15 PSI cooks at 250 degrees.
Sure, that’s it, they meant Celsius. Oh, wait...that would be 1000+F....
Even pressure cookers only get 250o.
There is someone who is literally cooking the books, we need to find out who it is.
At first, I was wondering if it was minor error, like a decimal point was dropped somewhere. 60.4 is probably a bit cold for August, though.
I just know never to sail on the Great Lakes when the Witch of November comes early. (learned that from the Chippewa on down.)
Maybe the Rankine scale?
It’s extremely sad that science, or so-called science can no longer be trusted.
If a special interest group or government grant drags a hundred dollar bill ... or perhaps a bit larger amount ... through the science community, they’ll be on it like fleas on a dog.
Willing to manipulate data to prove anything the money folks want proved.
NOAA very guilty in this regard.
Maybe NASA can drop fixing Toyotas, and stop propping up Islam, and fix a satellite or two...NASA...they are the space-people right?
And you thought it was hot in Arizona.........
