This one is incorrect. In fact the troposphere is much cooler than it should be if we are under a global warming scenario. In addition, satellite observations have shown that the ‘hockey-stick’ shape and recent claimed increases are incorrect. Additional problems are that the data used to justify the hockey-stick are produced under one person’s guidance and not subject to peer review. When there was a request for copies of the original sensor data.. it mysteriously disappeared/got lost. The data being presented is being adjusted for heat-island effect but the methodology being applied is not peer reviewed. The location of most temperature sensing sites are located in heavily urbanized and city environments.
NOTE: Remote, non-contact temperature sensing is done by analysis of black body radiation spectra.
-Or that changing weather is effecting the plant and animal life in that region, altering the balance that currently exists there?
San Diego is also much cooler this year than it has been for a very long time. The one thing that much of the ‘pro’ camp forgets is that weather always changes. There are periods warmer and periods cooler.
