I'm going to hit on several of these. [quote=@The Harbinger of Ferocity] I apologize but in the realm of climate science, even the lauded agency scientists are not immune to pushing fabricated information [url=https://principia-scientific.org/nasa-exposed-in-massive-new-climate-data-fraud/]either[/url] [/quote] [url=http://www.factcheck.org/2015/02/nothing-false-about-temperature-data/]Adjustments are not "tampering".[/url] NOAA even addresses this on their official website in the Q&A section.

[/quote] [url=https://www.snopes.com/climatology-fraud-global-warming/]Nah.[/url] [quote=@The Harbinger of Ferocity] No less, we even have accounts going back as "far" as [url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterferrara/2012/03/01/fakegate-the-obnoxious-fabrication-of-global-warming/#61dce6d46140]2012[/url] [/quote] That's an opinion piece. This man is also a member of the Heartland Institute who has [url=https://www.desmogblog.com/heartland-institute#funding]some interesting backers[/url]. You should be mindful of whose funding these types of things. [quote=@The Harbinger of Ferocity] that it is [url=http://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-scientists-dispute-climate-change-2012-4]anything but[/url] a "settled science". [/quote] [url=https://scholarsandrogues.com/2012/04/25/errors-shortcomings-void-nasa-climate-letter/]Correction: 49 former NASA employees who have no climate science expertise.[/url] I mean did [url=http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/04/26/more-debunking-of-the-ex-nasa-49-climate-change-deniers/]you actually read the letter they wrote[/url] or just the title to push an agenda? [quote=@The Harbinger of Ferocity] This is ignoring outright examples of [url=https://realclimatescience.com/2015/11/record-crushing-fraud-from-noaa-and-nasa-ahead-of-paris/]fraud[/url] [/quote] Again, adjustments are not tampering/whatever sensationalist thing you call it. This claim is pretty unreliable. The only evidence is a map taken from the NOAA website on the day NASA/GISS released its global data. It's impossible to cover the entire planet with weather stations, satellite data shows global temperature increases as well. Data is often averaged out to get one number, in this case global average temperature.

[/quote] Judging by your sources, you veer more towards conspiracy theorist than skeptic. There's nothing wrong with being a skeptic, just try to have reliable data/evidence which backs this skepticism.
