I agree.
The consensus isn't a poll at all.
The consensus is just reporting that all of the research done by climatologists came to the same conclusion, that AGW is real and its effects will be devastating.
That's not a poll, that's just noting that all the research came to the same result.
Not at all, because the latest satellite data does show the same warming, read the first chart here which shows the latest data:

I just don't think that the temperatures in the clouds are that relevant to discussions about the climate down here on the surface.
Why don't you?
Nonsense, these are my words and my arguments, though they are based on research I've read from others, of course.
But the data from satellites has multiple problems. Satellites go around the planet, they sample temperatures whenever they are over the area in question, at whatever time of day that is based on their orbit. The orbits change and the data must be adjusted. The data has to be fudged to compensate for way too many issues for it to be considered totally clean.
Whereas an automated sensor floating on a buoy just reads the temperature and can sense it way more often. No adjusting necessary and on top of that, the temperature is at the same level people live at, not in the clouds.
Your arguments make no sense.
