 Satellites can measure surface temperature with admirable precision, down to the meter scale and in millikelvin.

I've used this data for mining survey, among other things.

You need new material.

 that's super cool.  didn't know that was what's being used to generate the "earth is warming" graphs.  cause it's not.

I always recommend reading actual papers, even to non-experts in any given field. Find the DOI or article name referenced in a regime media puff piece and see what the authors ACTUALLY said, and what their reasons were.

Regime media is centrally coordinated and lies with admirable discipline, but industry and academic journals are (for now) allowed quite a bit of latitude.

Yes, remote sensing data from satellites IS used to inform climate models, and has been for longer than I've been alive.

That doesn't mean any particular climate model is inerrantly correct (none are, they're models), it doesn't mean ice caps will finish melting by any predictable date, and it certainly shouldn't be taken to mean the government has the ability or the inclination to intervene usefully.

But the preponderance of evidence, including satellite remote sensing, shows a warming trend. We are going to have to live with that.

 I'll tell you a secret about me - I'm always posting for the lurkers.

Your turn to tell a secret! And "I voted Harris" doesn't count, we all know that already.

 sattelite data "informs" like the last milisecond of the model.  get real bro
