For the full information, click on the Blog sidebar, Climate Resources, under NASA GISS.

The non-greenhouse theorists usually skirt this issue by simply castigating the NASA record as unreliable – apparently because it doesn’t give them the cherry-picked answer they want.

Doesn’t that prick the sceptics “it hasn’t warmed since 1998″ balloon. Is this correct? Where can I get the full information?

Stay tuned!

Friends of mine would like to listen to the presentation after my description of your presentation.
