The fact that the climate is warming has never really been in dispute. The warming & cooling of the planet has been going on forever.
The dispute is whether the current warming trend is man-made, which has never been conclusively proven.
One of the reasons for doubt was the previous discrepancy between the surface and lower troposphere warming trends. I.e., the models, based on atmospheric physics and the observed surface warming trend, predicted a significant warming in the lower troposphere. The discrepancy is apparently resolved, indicating that this aspect of the models is much less doubtful. Go to the RealClimate link for more information.
Quit the revisionism. Warming has been disputed based on the satellite data.
