Getting some Global Warming facts straight
April 7th, 2008
Cold, Hard Facts : An op-ed by a climatologist who’s data has been distorted by Global Warming skeptics.
Global warming skeptics have used this man’s study as evidence that the globe is, in fact, not warming. I’m not sure which makes me feel better: that they were just too stupid to understand what was really being said. Or, that they did understand but took things out of context to purposely mislead people. Neither one is very comforting.
His data was confirmed by subsequent studies. Fear not, his conclusions concerning the cooling of Antarctica are solid. Antarctica is indeed cooling in blatant contradiction to the IPCC models.
@Mick, I’m not sure what you’re getting at here. If you think that Antarctica is cooling or that if it were it would cast doubt on global warming then read this.
