Global Warming Basics - Dot Earth Blog - More foolishness/fraud from Andy Revkin - NYTimes.com
A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that the world’s climate is warming, primarily as a result of unfettered burning of fossil fuels and the razing of tropical forests. Such activity contributes to the atmosphere’s invisible blanket of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping “greenhouse” gases.

In the last several years, the scientific case that the rising human influence on climate could become disruptive has become particularly robust.
[Wait a minute: If the science was already settled back in 1992, why wasn't it "particularly robust" a few years ago?]
Here’s what Al Gore said in 1992 about ‘global warming’: “Only an insignificant fraction of scientists deny the global warming crisis. The time for debate is over. The science is settled.”

5. CLIMATE: LEFT FOR DEAD FOUR YEARS AGO, DSCOVR TWITCHES.
Congress appropriated $9 million to refurbish the climate observatory, and its instruments have now been removed at the Goddard space flight Center for refurbishing. That's a good sign, but of course NASA says $9 million is not enough. The observatory is meant to be located at the L1 point between the Earth and Sun from which it will determine whether climate change is due to variation in solar emission or human activity.

In a cooling climate, Revkin's posts reveal that he is a liar. Which climate scientist is feeding him this sill falsehoods?
