In fact without the corrections that warmists apply to the raw temperature data those sensors wouldn't show the warming trend that warmists try to scare you with. Given that expanding urban areas means that sensors will tend to have higher temperatures even if the world wasn't warming one would think that modern temperatures would be adjusted down but in fact warmists adjust modern temperatures up and older temperatures down; the exact opposite of what should be done but precisely what is needed to make it look like we're all doomed.
Fortunately not all government employees are evil so the NOAA established a new network of 114 sensors distributed around the continental US which are far away from urban areas and developments that could distort the temperatures the sensor measure. This new network is called the US Climate Reference Network(USCRN).
USCRN started collecting data in 2005 and the good news is that the temperature of the US hasn't been going up as shown in this plot of temperature vs time:
This is more evidence of why you can't trust the warmists who declare that we will all die in 10 or 12 years.
The reality is that the earth is probably warming a little bit because we're coming out of a little ice age and while we should keep studying our climate there is no reason to panic.
The real reason that warmists are pitching their tired old tale is as a justification for their attempts to raise taxes on the poor through higher energy costs and to massively increase the power of government over we the people.
