A meteorologist friend of mine says that most of the "data" used in the claim of global warming is based in areas that were once wooded and now are industrialized.


That was one of the gripes of the denier camp, so some of their main experts went out to disprove it by gathering data from alternate sites, only problem was, it agreed with the global warming studies. Heres a summary of the study that Richard Mueller did based on a $150,000 fund from the Koch Foundation to debunk Global Warming. It shows a temperature increase based on some 39,000 independent sources of data over the last 200 years with most of the temperature climb occurring after 1860 (roughly the real kick off of the Industrial Revolution).
