Climate change doubters may have lost one of their key talking points: a particular satellite temperature dataset that had seemed to show no warming for the past 18 years.
The Remote Sensing System temperature data, promoted by many who reject mainstream climate science and especially most recently by Sen. Ted Cruz, now shows a slight warming of about 0.18 degrees Fahrenheit since 1998. Ground temperature measurements, which many scientists call more accurate, all show warming in the past 18 years.
"There are people that like to claim there was no warming; they really can't claim that anymore," said Carl Mears, the scientist who runs the Remote Sensing System temperature data tracking. ...

whoa...kinda like the Rose billing records appearing after missing for 10 years.
This means we’re actually boiling RIGHT NOW!
We’re just too dense to realize it because of — ummm— like — uh — the religious right or something...
I have to agree.
The days out here in West Texas appear to be warming on a consistent basis.
BTW, Have you seen my tagline?
I wonder what magic "correction" factor they added?
When temperatures drop after this el Nino is finished what will they say? It will be like after ‘97-’98
Oh No! At that rate, the temperature will go up by 2 degrees in only 200 years!!!
Of course, but now they’ll kill us more softly with their song, telling our whole lives with their words . . .
Revamped.
Uh huh.
OK the data does not fit the model, so change the data not the model. Now I know how science works.
The Party is always right.
Hey Jimmy let’s take out the low temperatures!
Climate science has evidently become the evolution science” of our time.
That’s the impression I got from the climate scientists; they want us to listen to their song rather than the truth.
“When temperatures drop after this el Nino is finished what will they say? It will be like after 97-98”
this time.
You are correct. check back at next year. It will be cooler.
Revamped Lance Armstrong once again declared Tour De France champion.
Note that even if so-called climate change had been proven by the consistent results of scientific method-based experiments, it remains that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate climate issues.
