?Latest Satellite Data Show Continued Warming.


The satellite record, in all its current interpretations,
shows that the air near the surface is warming too.
For background on the satellite temperature proxy please see:

The URL below is one of the more conservative records
from the University of Alabama at Huntsville.

The Remote Sensing Systems Lower Troposphere (TLT) analysis
shows a 0.18K/Decade rise over the land and sea.

It takes about three decades to establish a climate trend

So what was the cause(s) of the climate trend during the Little Ice Age?

So what was the cause(s) of the climate trend during the Medieval Warm
Period?

While we know that the little ice age was a regional phenomenon, we don't
have a good handle on why the gradual cooling of the period occurred.

Natural climate variability can account for about .5'C of variance in the
earth's surface temperature. Current temperatures are 1.5 times that. Well
outside of the range of natural occurrance.

Here are the global average temperatures over the last decade. "o" = trend
line.

1998 14.57 *********************o*****
1999 14.33 *****************=====o
2000 14.33 *****************======o
2001 14.48 ************************o
2002 14.56 *************************o**

2005 14.63 *****************************o**
2006 14.54 ***************************===o
2007 14.57 *****************************

Look at all those "o"'s lined up there. The trend is up, Up, UP.

And the rate of increase is about 2'C per century.

As usual, Tom Bolger simply lies.
