Cool.
I read this one.
Well sort of as it is long but I got the basics.

1. This little unfinished report relies basically on two tools to measure global temperature changes. Upper surface ocean water in the 1)Atlantic and 2)Pacific. Nothing about atmospheric temp. changes other than water vapor may not have been accounted for in temp readings that do use atmospheric temp to try and determine if the earth is warming and which actually show the earth has been in a warming trend.

2. There are solar scientist that are highly skeptical of this report as they do not think the solar cycles play near as an important role as the atmospheric absorbing and releasing heat energy. This goes directly against this report.

But that was interesting nonetheless as it tells me more about how people are struggling to make comprehensive measurements of the average temp. of the earth.

3. They also noted that some computer models were way off in their ability to accurately assess the temp. of the ocean's at the surface and the rises predicted did not occur.

4. No mention of the Arctic Ocean melting which is in so many of 'the other sides' web pages and documents. I have seen the Greenland thing before.
No mention of Antarctica, some of which has been used to say the Earth is not warming. It was not present from what I read.

It is a fairly narrow assessment but I personally learned some more stuff.
Thanks Z.
