The Truth About Satellite Data and Climate Change - Debunking Myths

TLDRSatellite data shows that the Earth is warming at a rate of 1.5 degrees Celsius per century, which is much lower than the dire predictions in the media. Professor John Christie discusses the reliability of satellite data and its agreement with independent measurements. He emphasizes the importance of accurate data and debunks claims that satellite data has been debunked. He also highlights the negative consequences of basing energy policies on exaggerated climate models.
