Wisdom from Ecuador

GREENIE WATCH

I have just put up here
(PDF) a 2002 paper from Ecuador that uses data from over 13,000
temperature sites worldwide -- covering the years from 1702 to 1990.
They note that the world population has doubled from 1952 to 1990, yet
they find no statistically significant acceleration of global warming
over that period. They therefore conclude that the effect of humankind
on global warming up to 1990 is effectively zero. They conclude by
saying "contrary to popular belief, the data support the view that
human activity has had no significant effect on global warming up to
the year 1990".
