Why are you certain they're wrong? What if you applied all of your intelligence and engineering knowledge to the problem of measuring the ocean's temperature, and found that these scientists' methods had done as well or better than you would have?
Conspiracies and mistakes abound, to be sure; but they don't need to be hidden, in general they happen right out in the open, or are exposed relatively quickly. We don't need to impugn the hard work of dedicated people just because your intuition says otherwise.
