The Remote Sensing Systems Lower Troposphere (TLT) analysis also
shows a temperature rise above the surface of the land and sea.

Why would one need a 500 million billion dollar satellite, to know the
temperature of the Earth, at or near the surface of the Earth?
Wouldn't a 99 cent thermometer do the trick?

All of the missing ice certainly tells us Earth has been warming
at an astonishing rate; but the satellites give us very good
actual numbers. Note also that the satellites doing the
temperature measurements also do many other things.
