NOAA Global Climate Report for 2017 – (It’s getting warmer)

If the oceans are warming then climate change is real, whatever the reason.

The oceans are warming.

From the report;

Global ocean surface temperature: The 2017 globally averaged sea surface temperature was 1.21°F (0.67°C) above the 20th century average. This was also the third highest among all years in the 1880-2017 record, behind 2016 (warmest) and 2015 (second warmest).

• Record high sea surface temperatures were observed across parts of the western and central Pacific Ocean, western and northern Indian Ocean, and northern and southern parts of the Atlantic Ocean. No ocean areas were record cold for the year.

I have read this as well.

When they have to "ADJUST" the data, you have a conspiracy. Do some basic research before posting in this thread.

For someone so engaged with the idea of conspiracy its remarkable that you do not know what constitutes a conspiracy.

Unless, of course, you are part of the conspiracy to undermine conspiracies by mischaracterising them as a different kind of conspiracy. You know, the same way most conspiracy theories about the Illuminati are put out there by the Illuminati as a sort of double bluff.

O what a tangled web we spin,
When first we think we're taken in.

For the "internet article reading scientists", here is how these $garbage data is collected:
https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-do-scientists-measure-global-temperature

To get a complete picture of Earth’s temperature, scientists combine measurements from the air above land and the ocean surface collected by ships, buoys and sometimes satellites, too.

The temperature at each land and ocean station is compared daily to what is ‘normal’ for that location and time, typically the long-term average over a 30-year period. The differences are called an ‘anomalies’ and they help scientists evaluate how temperature is changing over time.

Could some of these $hips, buoy$, and sometimes $atellites be located in areas that would skew the data to support their predetermined tax payer funded conclu$$$ions.

A real science researcher examines the data and looks for cofounding factors and other alternate ways to interpret the data instead of parroting status quo rubbish.
