Title: Global Warming
Post by: ukmicky on 06/04/2007 15:00:31

Why does the Ipcc report disregard satellite evidence which shows little no global warming,and prefer to use the flawed surface record instead. These satellites are more accurate in their findings than the surface measurement as they are unaffected by local heat sources such as large cities etc.
Are they trying to say that these million dollar satelites in space are incapable of doing their job and are a waste of money or is it that to agree with the satellite record would put many top scientists ,companies, politicians reporters etc out of business due to the inevitable loss of the billion dollar global warming industry.

I don't know- I didn't write the report. I wonder if the answer might be that satelite records don't go back far enough to tell you anything much.
