"Global Warming is 'Real,' Report Finds"
The Washington Post, Jan. 13, 2000

"A worldwide rise in temperatures at the Earth's surface is "undoubtedly real" and appears to have accelerated in recent decades, an independent scientific panel concluded in a major new report yesterday.

The panel estimated the increase in temperatures over the past century between 0.7 and 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit-a 30 percent increase from earlier projections that reflects record-shattering high temperatures in the late 1990s.

Partly deflating a key argument used by skeptics of global warming, the report also dismissed as insignificant a glaring contradiction between two sets of measurements…'The difference between the surface and upper-air trends in no way invalidates the conclusion that the Earth's temperature is rising,' said John M. Wallace, a professor of atmospheric sciences a the University of Washington and chairman of the panel."
