ANY DEBATES OVER TEMPERATURE AND CLIMATE CHANGE MODELING?
The subject of climate change leans heavily on observations of temperature. Researchers are inundated with data, much of which does not add appreciably to the discussion; on the other hand, they lack crucial information about the past that may never be recovered. The large discrepancy between model results and observations of temperature trends (whether from satellites or from the surface) also demands an explanation. The models developed around the world by expert groups differ among themselves by large factors. Computer models forecast rapidly rising global temperatures, but data from weather satellites and balloon instruments show no warming whatsoever.
