Do Satellites Give us Accurate Global Temperatures?



In coming days, we will hear announcements from NASA, NOAA and others that
2015 was the hottest year in the modern instrumental record.
There will be pushback from the likes of climate denier Ted Cruz, who
uses a misreading of satellite temperature data to claim, as he did
on Seth Meyer's show - "no warming in 18 years"

This is the story of how that distortion came to be.

Why not try set of data series, say the last 5 yrs, 10 yrs, 15 yrs , 20 yrs, 25 yrs? We know why.
