AI seems to disagree with you. Like climate scientists, AI is more credible than nutbags on the internet too.LOL!!
IQ over 5 required to understand difference between data and fudge.
Data comes from instruments -

Key claim against global warming evaporates
Satellite and weather balloon data used to argue that climate models were wrong and that global warming isn't really happening turns out to be based on faulty analyses, according to three new studies.www.nbcnews.com
"satellite and weather balloon data have actually suggested the opposite, that the atmosphere was cooling." = THE ACTUAL DATA FROM THE INSTRUMENTS
Scientists were left with two choices: either the atmosphere wasn't warming up, or something was wrong with the data.
CAN YOU SEE ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST HERE?
ADMIT THE TRUTH THAT INCREASING ATMOSPHERIC CO2 HAS NOT WARMED ANYTHING, ADMIT YOU ARE 100% WRONG, YOU DESERVE NO MORE FUNDING
or
FUDGE THE DATA AND KEEP BILKING THE TAXPAYER
????
The claim that weather balloons disprove atmospheric warming is rooted in a misunderstanding or selective interpretation of data. Here's a breakdown of why some people make this claim—and why it's misleading.
Weather balloons carry instruments (radiosondes) that measure:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Atmospheric pressure
- Wind speed and direction
Critics of climate science sometimes argue:
- Weather balloon data shows inconsistent warming: They claim that temperature records from radiosondes don't show the same warming trend as surface thermometers or satellite data.
- Mid-troposphere data appears flat: Some older balloon datasets showed little warming in the mid-troposphere (around 8–12 km altitude), which skeptics used to argue against global warming.
- Discrepancies with climate models: They suggest that if models predict warming at certain altitudes and balloons don’t confirm it, the models must be flawed.
The scientific consensus remains firm for several reasons:
- Improved data calibration: Early balloon data had calibration issues. Modern corrections show warming trends that align with satellite and surface data.
- Global coverage matters: Balloon launches are geographically limited. Satellites provide broader, more consistent coverage.
- Short-term variability: Balloon data can be noisy due to weather events, volcanic eruptions, or El Niño/La Niña cycles. Long-term trends still show warming.
- Multiple lines of evidence: Surface thermometers, ocean heat content, glacier retreat, and satellite data all independently confirm global warming
