A graph publ. in my local newspaper, accompanying an article by a local Univ. professor of physics (its source NASA’s Goddard Inst. for Space Studies), depicts a rather steadily rising GLOBAL Land-Ocean Temp Index over past 30 plus years. I do not know how to reconcile these apparently conflicting data sets, while viewing global warming-ism as largely driven by political ideology.
The university professor has immense peer pressure to support the big government position. Therefore his data has been biased or altered. Politics ruins everything and everyone it touches. If it was getting warmer, they would be making wine in Greenland.
