Why Scientists Trust the Surface Thermometers over Satellites

My first video about the temperature records had climate deniers sputtering and stammering about
"well funded" attacks on them.
This one should get a rise out of them, too - butcher's another sacred cow.

During the La Nina summer of 2011, people trusted a thermometer to read the very hot temperatures in Texas. No Texans would have been brainwashed into relying on a satellite to read the meltdown outside; that is until Cruz came along (elected in 2012) and said, satellites say its cool out there. Cruz makes me sick. And his followers must be stupid.

He's an aggressive climate denier, willing to distort the facts, as well as a dangerous demagogue and a dominionist.

Peter, I'd like to echo my colleagues in saying "Thank You!" for your informative, science-based series.

money to make, and that's the most important thing in the world. It drives EVERYTHING! Absolutely everything!

And, yes, that's insane. I guess we could say insanity drives everything. Might as well, because reason sure as hell doesn't.
