Hi Josephine, Obviously, by the data you provided, it is slanted information. My next question is: Why would a supposed "scientist" do this type of work that could easily be researched and debunked? He obviously went out of his way to cherry pick his data to conform to his own ideology. I bet if looked into, one might find Mr. Monckton's research to be funded by the fossil fuel industry or some right wing think tank. Have you noticed that all the global warming debunkers have to use other peoples' data? They have no data of their own. They always cherry pick from NOAA, NASA or some other scientific organization. And every single time they are exposed by the media, other researchers or the scientists who accumulated the data. This happens time and time again. So why... why on Earth would anyone ever... ever rely on these pseudo researchers for this type of information. If you want to find the real data, go to the source ie; the government sources. The government sources contain the only real believable data. Well... aside from the studies released by the Bush admin. Jon
