I wrote a post recently that has generated some pretty strong reaction and I wanted to take a moment to stop the spin.I am a scientist. And I'm a skeptic.
AND after more than a century of research -- based on healthy skepticism -- scientists have learned something very important about our planet. It's warming up -- glaciers are melting, sea level is rising and the weather is changing. The primary explanation for this warming is the carbon dioxide released from -- among other things -- the burning of fossil fuels.
With that knowledge comes responsibility.
Here at The Weather Channel, we have accepted that responsibility, and see it as our job to give YOU the facts on global warming...

If she can show the daily temperature readings for the last 10 million years, we can then determine if this is a cyclical event or how much variation from the mean has occured. I would prefer an EXCEL spreadsheet.
