Global Warming vs Government Interpretation

I'll be honest - like most people I've spoken to, I'm not clear on all the intricacies of Cap and Tax. But hey, I don't think our elected officials are either. What I do believe, and what is beginning to become more clear, is that the data being used to promote the global warming issue is not entirely accurate, if not altogether and outright false.

I work in an office building next door to a coal mining consultant. He has a vested interest in seeing that we continue to mine coal. Clean burning coal is an abundant resource, particularly here in Alaska. Recently he was emailed data from a colleague showing that our current warming trends are normal, cyclical, and we're actually overdue for the actual warming trend we appear to be going through now. I firmly believe that no amount of conservation or change in habits is going to prevent our earth from warming. We live on a planet whose climate is constantly changing. This is normal.

And this brings me to my second point. What does our government base their global warming hysteria on? Data - lots and lots of data. And where do we get this data - from the government. Now, here is where it gets fun. It seems that the government has standards for measuring temperatures (trust me, the government has a procedure and a standard for everything. I know first hand - I was in the Navy). The government's own standards describe where and how these measuring instruments should be placed in order to collect accurate data. Well, guess what? As the video below shows, these instruments have not been placed in locations according to their own standards. Therefore, they almost certainly are giving us false information - temperatures that are higher than what they should be, and this is what we are basing our global warming information on. So, is the government inept and not competent enough to place their instruments in the correct locations, or is the government intentionally misleading us with false data?

Either we are going through a normal warming trend we can't control, or this is a government-engineered/government fallacy in order to promote a tax we neither need or want. Check out the diagram and video and decide for yourself:
