NASA does; NOAA does; every organization working on climate does.
You're too damn stupid and lazy to spend the three minutes to
look, so I'll do it for you; I charge $200.


I will post some things about global warming for free.

John R. Christy is a climate scientist at the University of Alabama in
Huntsville whose chief interests are satellite remote sensing of
global climate and global climate change. He is best known, jointly
with Roy Spencer, for the first successful development of a satellite
temperature record.[1]

He is a distinguished professor of atmospheric science, and director
of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in
Huntsville. He was appointed Alabama's state climatologist in 2000.
For his development of a global temperature data set from satellites
he was awarded NASA's Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement,
and the American Meteorological Society's "Special Award."[3] In 2002,
Christy was elected Fellow of the American Meteorological Society.[4]

Christy has also performed detailed reconstruction of surface
temperature for Central California. He found that recorded temperature
changes there were consistent with an altered surface environment
caused by increased irrigation for agriculture, which changed "a high-
albedo desert into a darker, moister, vegetated plain."[9]

In 2009 written testimony to the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee,
he wrote: "From my analysis, the actions being considered to 'stop
global warming' will have an imperceptible impact on whatever the
climate will do, while making energy more expensive, and thus have a
negative impact on the economy as a whole. We have found that climate
models and popular surface temperature data sets overstate the changes
in the real atmosphere and that actual changes are not alarming." [12]
