Anthony Watts says satellite measurements of the lower troposphere show
the world has cooled more in the past 16 months than it warmed in the
past 100 years:

Several sources show that the above statement is simply a lie.
Look at the following graphs.

-- The global ground weather station network shows warming:

-- The satellite record, in all its current interpretations,
shows that the air near the surface is warming too.
