Fears are growing for the long-term future of the satellite temperature record compiled by two former NASA scientists at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The UAH record stretches back to 1979 and measures the lower troposphere. It is highly regarded in sceptical scientific circles, but it shows less warming than the adjusted, heat-corrupted and sometimes invented figures supplied by state-funded meteorological operations that help promote the Net Zero project. Funding is likely to stop<\/a> when Professor John Christy retires in July 2026, bringing an end to an honest and it seems unwanted source of climate information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knives have been out for years. Christy\u2019s partner Dr. Roy Spencer promotes a monthly update of the UAH record and in 2022 it was kicked off Google AdSense for publishing \u201cunreliable and harmful claims<\/a>\u201d. Dr. Spencer notes that the UAH team has a Department of Energy contract, \u201cbut it is ending and we have very few friends  in Washington since we remain on the \u2018wrong side\u2019 of the science\u201d. Of course their luck could change with the Trump and Republican victories, but climate science funding is difficult for all but the true \u2018settled\u2019 believers. \u201cThe peer review process (which determines what proposals the government will fund) has been stacked against us for many years, making it almost impossible to get funded to investigate the issues we believe are important to the climate debate,\u201d observes Spencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the two scientists note, they are not getting any younger. New, young researchers would need the same federal contracts to continue the work. \u201dUnfortunately, any projects that smell like climate scepticism are generally not funded and young researchers will likely hurt their careers if they are considered to be replacements for John and me,\u201d says Spencer. Advancing science that doesn\u2019t support global warming being a \u2018crisis\u2019 remains an uphill battle, he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Spencer is talking about of course is free speech and the trashing of the scientific process by activists working in and out of science to brainwash and frighten populations into accepting the Net Zero fantasy. The disgraceful retraction<\/a> of the Alimonti paper by Springer Nature<\/em> lives in the memory. As readers will recall, a gang of journalists and activist scientists managed recently to cancel a group of Italian physicists who dared to state the data didn\u2019t support a climate crisis. Commenting on the scandal, Francis Menton of the Manhattan Contrarian <\/em>noted that \u201cevery once in a while something happens to bring aspects of the orthodoxy enforcement mechanism momentarily into the open\u201d. \u201cClimate sceptics can\u2019t get jobs in academia, and go into other careers; when sceptics write papers, they get rejected and are never heard again,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAH record is obviously hated in alarmist circles. While state operations were retrospectively adding 30% extra recent warming to compiled and frequently adjusted global datasets, the UAH figures kept us informed of the temperature pause from 1998-2012. Of course, warming is shown since the start of the satellite record, but uncorrupted data from above the ground provides a reliable benchmark. The cynical might ask who knows what the temperature manglers would get up to without this watchful eye in space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest problem with the surface measurements is the corruption caused by urban heat. Christy and Spencer have been to the fore in attempting to measure the serious problems that pollute the surface temperature record. As the Daily Sceptic<\/em> has reported on numerous occasions, many temperature stations are positioned in unsuitable sites near airport runways, car parks, electricity sub-stations and solar farms. Estimates of the corruption range from 20-50% extra warming. \u201cPersonally,\u201d continues Spencer, \u201cI would like to continue the work I have started \u2013 especially on urban heat islands (UHI) \u2013 if possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Dr. Spencer has recently added to his urban heat island research<\/a> by considering its effect on daily record high temperatures. This follows the declaration of an all-time record high temperature of 124\u00b0F recorded at Palm Springs Airport on July 5th this year. For those following the global warming narrative, it is noted that such records almost always mention climate change as a cause, \u201cyet they have no way of knowing how much urbanisation has contributed to those record high temperatures\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spencer notes that there are 26 other daily temperature stations within 40 miles of the Californian desert town at various levels of urbanisation and elevation. Plotting the high temperatures as a function of station elevation, it turns out, claims Spencer, that Palm Springs is an \u201coutlier\u201d with 5\u00b0F extra warmth compared to nearby stations. In addition, that figure is likely to be an underestimate of how much urban warming contributed to the Palm Springs record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
