Finally: NASA Data Destroys Global Warming Hoax. Plus: Arctic scientist under investigation for scientific fraud regarding polar bear population decline

From Yahoo! News via memeorandum: New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism. Here on Earth, the global warming fraudsters have been fudging surface temperature data either indirectly via calculation massaging, or directly by placing temperature sensors purposely in areas that give a false high temperature (by blacktop, by buildings, by airports, etc). However, they can't get their mits on satellites, and satellite data may indeed be the downfall of the global warming hoax once and for all!
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.

"The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show," Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. "There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans."

In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.

Just five years ago, Charles Monnett was one of the scientists whose observation that several polar bears had drowned in the Arctic Ocean helped galvanize the global warming movement.

Now, the wildlife biologist is on administrative leave and facing accusations of scientific misconduct.

The federal agency where he works told him he was on leave pending the results of an investigation into "integrity issues." A watchdog group believes it has to do with the 2006 journal article about the bear...
The polar bear population has actually increased substantially since records have been kept in the 1950's, an inconvenient fact for global warming alarmists if there ever was one.
