How do you explain the near zero change in temperature as measured by satellites after nearly 30 years? Do you have a source for this? I am not aware that no change has been recorded. It sounds to me like a distortion of one of Neocon's factoids. For example: Global surface temperatures in 1999 declined from the remarkable warmth of the record level set in 1998. The 1999 global temperature was affected by a strong persistent La Niña, in which upwelling cool water spread over much of the tropical Pacific Ocean. The tropical cooling is a natural cyclic change, the opposite phase of tropical Pacific El Niño warming. But despite this tropical cooling, 1999 was a very warm year by historical standards on global average and in the United States. giss.nasa.gov One year does not define a trend. Sea level has risen worldwide approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) in the last century. Approximately 2-5 cm (1-2 inches) of the rise has resulted from the melting of mountain glaciers. Another 2-7 cm has resulted from the expansion of ocean water that resulted from warmer ocean temperatures. epa.gov
