I'd come way closer to believing that about the satellite data if NOAA hadn't been adjusting their historical datasets upwards over the last decade plus. It wouldn't at all surprise me that NOAA sponsored that study too, too much money and political power is on the line, same with the large biases built into NOAA-9 terget factors noted in that study.

But amen on selecting one's own preferences!

One satellite data set is underestimating global warming

>>>So, how do the trends compare? Well the lowest trend, in degrees Celsius heating per decade are from UAH and they equal 0.029 for the 1979–2012 period for the mid-troposphere region between 20° South and 20° North. The new results are almost 4 times higher at 0.114°C per decade. The results using a diurnal correction from a climate model are in close agreement with the new findings (0.124°C per decade). As additional support, the NOAA and RSS values are also close to the corrected results. The simple fact is, UAH is an outlier.<<<


0.029 and 0.114 round to 0.
