Since I'm not a scientist, I wouldn't know the best way to determine
temperatures but I've always believed that NASA is a pretty reliable
scientific organization. Can you point out any peer reviewed articles
that would lead me to believe that their data can't be trusted?

If NASA's data is bad, is there another organization that has better
data? Or is it all bad?

NASA was established on October 1, 1958 (partly in response to the
Russian Sputnik satellite the previous year), which is not quite 50
years ago. NASA does not have satellite data of either solar flux
or global surface temperatures that goes back 129 years.
Furthermore, it has been widely reported that NASA's official
reports have been censored and altered by nonscientist government
officials in the past, sometimes changing their conclusions
entirely. There is a scene in the movie "An Inconvenient Truth"
where James Hansen admits under oath that his reports were altered
without his consent during the Reagan and first Bush
administrations. Do a google search for "NASA Hansen" for numerous
links.
