Claim: Natural temperature measurements also confirm the general accuracy of the instrumental temperature record.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The warming evident in the instrumental temperature record is consistent with a wide range of observations, documented by many independent scientific groups; for example, in most continental regions the frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation has increased.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Another study concluded in 2006, that existing empirical techniques for validating the local and regional consistency of temperature data are adequate to identify and remove biases from station records, and that such corrections allow information about long-term trends to be preserved.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: These datasets are updated frequently, and are generally in close agreement.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The temperature data for the record come from measurements from land stations and ships.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Individual proxy records, such as tree ring widths and densities used in dendroclimatology, are calibrated against the instrumental record for the period of overlap.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The instrumental temperature record provides the temperature of Earth's climate system from the historical network of in situ measurements of surface air temperatures and ocean surface temperatures.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: This allows a temperature record to be constructed.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: "Coherence established between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature".

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: A temperature anomaly is measured against a reference value or long-term average.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Satellite temperature measurements are inferences of the temperature of the atmosphere at various altitudes as well as sea and land surface temperatures obtained from radiometric measurements by satellites.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: This includes the record of , which is currently considered the highest temperature recorded on Earth.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The Earth's average surface absolute temperature for the 1961–1990 period has been derived by spatial interpolation of average observed near-surface air temperatures from over the land, oceans and sea ice regions, with a best estimate of 14 °C (57.2 °F).

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Its main findings were; 20th century instrumentally measured warming showed in observational evidence, and can be simulated with climate models, large-scale surface temperature reconstructions "yield a generally consistent picture of temperature trends during the preceding millennium", including the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age, "but the exact timing and duration of warm periods may have varied from region to region, and the magnitude and geographic extent of the warmth are uncertain."
