And I am pretty sure that we do actually live in the troposphere.</p>

<p>But it is much worse than it seems. 58% of the land temperatures reported by NCDC for December were completely fake &#8211; as shown in the animation below which has ocean temperatures masked out.</p>

<p>The graph below shows the pixel counts of measured and published land temperatures. As you can see, the vast majority of fake pixels have positive anomalies. Their algorithms (which &#8220;work as designed&#8221;) skew fake data towards high temperatures..</p>

<p>The reported December land anomaly was 1.36C, but the average anomaly of the measured data showed only 0.71C. Mind boggling temperature fraud by NCDC.</p>
