Hey, I'm a mechanical engineer. We also studied measurement systems and their associated error. Question: If you see a "trend" inside the margin of error in your instrumentation, what do you have? Answer: Nothing. So this so called 1-3 Deg F temperature rise that is within the +/- error band (I've heard 3-5 deg F) is not a measurable phenomenon with the current technology. Also, people slap thermometers where it's convenient, like the sides of buildings and parking lots. Last time I checked, you can cool off in the woods, but not in a parking lot in summer. Land use may be the real culprit, but who wants to give up their mega-mall for a bunch of mom and pop shops? (Maybe the Anti-Globalists, but I digress....)

Flawed sicience and a bunch of junk data = liberal hysteria over nothing. (Never trust someone with an ARTS degree when you need someone with a SCIENCE degree.)

The CO2 rise is real though, I cannot deny this (looked up the data on it) I just cant say is 100 ppm makes a difference. The proactive amongst us may say it will continue to increase and we must reduce emissions now. I say, wait and see, it snowed in the Alps today.....
