Hansen recently admitted that temperatures have not increased over the last decade, but it is worse than it seems. Temperatures have actually been declining, but Hansen keeps them flat by progressively manipulating recent temperatures upwards.

All the adjustments have been approved by thousands if not millions of brilliant MIT PhD climate scientists, each and every one spending thousands of hours on their supercomputers, peer reviewing and approving each and every one of those changes. Thus, you morons, who comprehend at a kindergarten level, have abolutely no right to even look at real temperature data to see if there is warming with time. How can you be so anti-science?
As predicted by Hansen, the surface temperature trend differs from the mid-troposphere trend.
Apart from the sign of the difference being wrong, this is in perfect accord with climate models. Mann has already shown this to be perfectly acceptable climate science.
GISS is on another planet.
Science 101: Don’t make a researcher who is heavily invested in a particular outcome, responsible for compiling the data that verifies the outcome.
We used to teach, “Don’t put a fox in charge of the hen house.”
That lesson has been replaced by teaching our kids how to put condoms on cucumbers.
