You say “to overturn all that” like “all that” was some kind of proof supporting this global warming hooey. In the 1970’s the “consensus” was that we were headed for a new ice age. It was the same brand of so-called scientists predicting doom then as it is now. People better wake up and recognize what this is really all about — the destruction of what are left of free markets and capitalism.

Here’s the thing. There are plenty of people who oppose capitalism. Many of them would happily use global warming as an excuse to get what they wanted anyway - the end of the American way.
But our job is to be rational and evaluate the temperature and causes independent of those ass holes want. We should neither buy into or deny global based them.
For that we should look to places like the National Snow and Ice Data Center established under the Reagan administration to study glaciers. They do a report called the state of the cryosphere that studies how much water is freezing versus how much melts. This gives a temperature change measure for the earth separate from the others.
And, like all other measures, it says we have been in a warming trend. and it is continuing.
Anyway, this is an interesting site.
