The oceans have not become warmer over the last five years. "There has been a very slight cooling, but not anything really significant," explains Josh Willis of NASA, which unleashed a fleet of seafaring robots to measure temperature change. The inconvenient findings left the National Public Radio reporter to speculate that maybe "scientists are somehow misinterpreting the data from the diving buoys," or perhaps "scientists aren't quite understanding what their robots are telling them," or there's a chance "something more mysterious is going on." Sounds like a mystery that only Aquaman could solve. One possibility the article did not consider is that claims of global warming and its impact on the earth (and its oceans) are overblown.

Dan, like you I have watched over the last few years as we get report after report about global warming. However, I do not give any report the value I used to.

Before I became ill, I was an accountant, and I know first hand how data can be manipulated to produce any report one wishes. If you do not believe me, ask the stockholders of Enron. Better yet, ask those of us who believed our nation when Colin Powell gave his WMD speech before the U.N.

I simply cannot believe most of the reports our government sends us, unless that report is produced by the GAO, the last bastion of governmental integrity.

There is too much biased reporting about the environment for me to make an informed decision about global warming.

Science (and our government) used to give fairly unbiased reports and we could believe those reports.

Integrity, once gone, is damn hard to rehabilitate.

Be well,

Sponge

Yes they have. Al Gore said so.

Well put, SD.

Everyone:
Please read "State Of Fear" by Michael Crichton. He throws a major monkey wrench into
the machinery of the climate change religion.
His fictionalized account of the scam that is "Global Warming" is well researched, eye opening and fun to read.
