it seems the Republicans will latch on to anything to push their agenda. Even poorly written and researched articles form the Daily Mail. There is almost nothing in the article that supports the conclusions the author wants to reach. Their "whistleblower" doesn't even support their conclusions.
Here are a couple good analyses of the story and the facts and data behind it.

The main takeaway is this.
quote:
What David Rose fails to mention is that the new NOAA results have been validated by independent data from satellites, buoys and Argo floats and that many other independent groups, including Berkeley Earth and the UK’s Met Office Hadley Centre, get effectively the same results.
Rose’s claim that NOAA’s results can never be verified is patently incorrect, as we just published a paper independently verifying the most important part of NOAA’s results.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
