It's because they want a world government --- one they control --- and not one that would be beneficial for mankind as a whole.
There's some more fun ones. Let's place the temperature station right behind where we park the jet aircraft.
Prove their methods are wrong. I dont accept random claims that they are. They are smarter and more learned than you, deal with it.
“NASA’s temperature data is worse than the Climate-gate temperature data. According to NASA,” wrote Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute who uncovered the e-mails. Horner is skeptical of NCDC’s data as well, stating plainly: “Three out of the four temperature data sets stink.”
Corrections are needed, Masters says, “since there are only a few thousand surface temperature recording sites with records going back 100+ years.” As such, climate agencies estimate temperatures in various ways for areas where there aren’t any thermometers, to account for the overall incomplete global picture.
More recently, Tom Siegfried, editor in chief of Science News, wrote an essay entitled “Odds Are, It's Wrong.” In it he addressed the general problem of the misuse of statistics in science and medical research. While not talking speciffically about climate science, here is Siegfried's take on the problem:
It’s science’s dirtiest secret: The “scientific method” of testing hypotheses by statistical analysis stands on a flimsy foundation. Statistical tests are supposed to guide scientists in judging whether an experimental result reflects some real effect or is merely a random fluke, but the standard methods mix mutually inconsistent philosophies and offer no meaningful basis for making such decisions. Even when performed correctly, statistical tests are widely misunderstood and frequently misinterpreted. As a result, countless conclusions in the scientific literature are erroneous...
The Wegman Report was the result of an ad hoc committee of independent statisticians who were asked by a congressional committee to assess the statistical information presented in the Michael Mann “Hockey Stick” papers. Dr. Edward Wegman, a prominent statistics professor at George Mason University and chairman of the National Academy of Sciences’ (NAS) Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics, headed the panel of experts who examined the use of statistics in climate science. They found the climate science community was far too insular and did not consult with experts in statistics outside of their own field.
Asserting this does not mean it is true. Back up you assertions.
Airports have always been a center for measuring weather. I dont know why you think it would be any hotter there. Its not like they are constantly putting the thermometer over a flame. Also not disproving GW.
Edit to add: There are many other measurements that have been taken too. So... your pretty much saying everyone whos job deals with weather works for Al' Gore
Already debunked in other post. Perhaps you should read them. I am not going to do it again.

DuPont has made, and continues to make, BILLIONS from the global warming lie. Al Gore was worth, if I remember correctly, around $12M when he was vice president; now he is worth over $100M.
Those are just 3 examples of entities with a HUGE vested interest in perpetuating the lie.
I'm not stating this as a fact, but I can think of entities with very deep pockets and probably top-notch scientists employed who would have huge interest in the opposite, handing out grants to scientists so they step out the global warming camp. I can't imagine oil companies and other big polluters playing the game one bit fairer as any entity profiting from the global warming hype.
So I think it goes two ways. I wonder which side has the most cash to burn and the biggest interest in steering this discussion.

That is ridiculous. Also Jesse Ventura is not an expert on anything.
Then President Chavez brought the house down.
When he said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships” he got a rousing round of applause.
When he said there was a “silent and terrible ghost in the room” and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening.
Your "debunk" doesn't meet my criteria for such.
The fact is that these "experts" want to blame civilization for an increase in average global temperatures of less than one degree celcius using various data sets collected over 30 years (for satellites) and 100 (for temperature stations) after making numerous 'corrections' and various modeling methods. Then attempt to compare global average temperatures against -estimates- of global averages millions of years ago using methods that have no means of being validated at this point in time.
The margin of error for estimating the global average temperature a million years ago is greater than the alleged temperature increase caused by man!
Further - the types of climate changes we see are increases in storm activity - indicative of more surface heating and turbulence caused by increased solar output. Storms arise from greater differences in local temperatures brought about by uneven heating of the Earth's surface. An increase in the average temperature due to CO2 emissions would not cause an increase in storms.
A little physics goes a long way. I suggest you hit the books and check out of this discussion for a while. Your incompetence is gleaming.
Sorry about that. They were legitimate sources so i don't understand the problem.
Really? I thought making 'corrections' to update data was the backbone of the Scientific Method? I really dont get you...
Marin of error? Again, we have had accurate temperature measurement for the last 125.
We can get a pretty good idea of what is accurate. As both show the upward trend, it is obvios something is changing.
Storms? Where did you get this data? Round about argument but interesting.

I don't expect you would. You've not demonstrated an understanding of the concept of disagreement.
No, it's not. The scientific method is a process designed to derive, through experimentation and control of system variables, a cause-effect relationship. When you take temperature data collected from cities and arbitrarily modify the number in an attempt to compensate for the urban heat island effect; you are, in essence, acknowledging a bias in your sampled data and have no other reliable data source from which to draw. How do you compensate for the heat island effect? There are several different methods used - each derive different temperatures from the same set of data. The merits of each method are their own separate debates as to their accuracy and effectiveness (obviously, if more accurate temperature readings were available, they would be used in place of the data in question).
When we are dealing with a spread of +/-80 degrees in many cases, and wish to derive an average while compensating for the urban heat island effect... and use that same data in an attempt to prove a +0.3 degree trend... it doesn't work, since you can't demonstrate the accuracy of your correction methods.
Worse - the methods are subject o circular reasoning: "we know that there is a warming trend of n, so our model is accurate since it gives us n"
You need to understand the difference between accurate and precise. Accuracy is simply that - accuracy. If it says it's a hundred degrees, it's a hundred degrees. Precision, however, is another issue. It's really 100.005 degrees - but you have to have some sophisticated equipment to pick that out.
Simply put - many of the stations used to derive data, today, are well below the precision necessary to establish a warming trend of hundredths and tenths of a degree. Most are analog displays with whole-number precision at best.
Obviously, the climate is going to change.
Physics, my friend. There is a reason why average wind speeds increase as you get further from the sun. Energy input into a system is inherently uneven. This causes differences in temperature, voltage, and other potentials within that system, causing the system to exchange energy within itself. Think a pot of boiling water.
APG would predict a more uniform rise in global temperatures, which would - contrary to Gore and other Climate Alarmists - not trigger more storms. Things would simply get warmer and the air a little more humid (which might affect the type of storms a bit, but would not lead to more energetic storms).
This differs from increased solar radiation, which also causes a rise in average temperatures, but allows for more extremes within those averages (the atmosphere has less 'inertia' to dampen temperature differentials).
Exactly right. Also its what i said. So... What the hell?
But we can...
Science is not circular reasoning...
As long as they are accurate(no reason to think they arent) you shouldn't have a problem. Demanding an unreasonable amount of preciseness does not help your case. Beside, the graphs i posted are clearly accurate. Prove they aren't.
Ok? So whats your point. Temps are clearly rising. This does not disprove that.
Ah, but if you noticed the graphs, temps have been increasing since the beginning of the industrial age.
Unless you going to tell me that pumping chemicals into the atmosphere doesn't affect it at all?
Maurice Strong' Global Warming controversies is recent hot topic on internet search. Ten trillion dollars ($10,000,000,000,000) is the conservative estimated money that Maurice Strong, Barack Obama, Albert Gore Jr., and others to make yearly on the alleged scam “global warming.” Here description about the Maurice Strong Global Warming controversies is specified. Uncertainties started when the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) was revealed.
