My link, from an environmental site, is a crow eating admission that the global warming folks had it wrong. The scientists on their panel are on record in 1992 saying that the Antarctic ice sheets will shrink. Now they say they are growing.

Like the stock market the earths temperature has long and short term trends. Much of the recent surface temperature is based on readings going back over a century. A century ago readings were not as frequent, nor as accurate, the up trend to modern times may be due to that. Still there is a short term up trend over the last 50 years that should be fairly accurate. However this is atmosphere weather readings which may be due to factors other than global warming, there are less readings over the ocean thant the earths surface. Satellite data which is only a couple of decades old or less, shows a cooling trend, much of it over the ocean. I think you can conclude there is something going on, but it may or may not be global warming. Too soon to tell.
