So I learned something the other day. For the last several decades (more so in the 1980′s than in the last 16 years), we have heard warnings and cautions from scientists and environmental groups about global warming and the affects humans have on the environment. The other day, however, I read several articles. The most pointed being this one. This is a testimony from an Emeritus Professor who has quite a resume for evaluating climactic changes. Here’s an except:
Satellite data show no appreciable warming of the global atmosphere since 1979. In fact, if one ignores the unusual El Nino year of 1998, one sees a cooling trend.
