“They seem to be using the same source for bogus data.”

“The NASA satellite data is calibrated from the CRU data.”

Some errors to correct here:
- NASA GISS is not satellite data (strange but true),
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/station_data/
- the satellite data is UAH (U Alabama Huntsville)
- The satellite data nor GISS is NOT calibrated from CRU data
- There are 4 main datasets - NASA/GISS, Hadley, CRU, UAH
- There are adjustments done within each dataset, not between them

The REAL issue with GISS and CRU is the adjustments for Urban Heat Island or other effects. If they are ‘massaging’ the data wrong, the numbers they report are wrong. This cant be checked unless they make public the raw data, and the adjustments.

I refer you to Lord Monctons report on this at Pg. 17 about the satellite and surface data sets. Lord Moncton pdf
These are not independent data sets.
