Global what? How do you think they come up with an average temperature for any given date...they average the recorded high and the low for that date. And we have not been doing that to any extent until the past 150 years. Also world temp in the past has been very biased toward land temperatures, as there were few if any weather stations on the oceans, which occupy 75% of the earth's surface. But they never tell the public about such things! As you can tell KT is skeptical about such political ravings. And you have it wrong now....it is not global warming, it is climate change!
As a geologist who has studied the geologic past, climate change is a normal thing over the past millions of years. Why in just the past 10,000 years we have seen a general warming trend in the world's climate. What do you think brought us out of the Ice Ages?
I know you were just teasing, but......for those people who think there is something abnormal about climate fluctuation, those are who I am talking to.
OK, KT is jumping off His Royal Soap Box now!
