Hah! Nice charts. I'm a global warming skeptic, but I'll keep an open mind. I like to tell people that averaged over the last 100,000 the spot you are standing on was under a kilometer of ice. Do you have a good "balanced" reference on global warming?

I bring your attention to the first two graphs above. NASA's Tropospheric Tempertures & Muller's "Global Warming" chart.

According to the atmospheric CO2 is driving the show theories of the IPCC modellers, the temperature measurments of the troposphere should be hotter than the measurements at the earth's surface. CO2 being imputed cause of surface heating according to the model theories and output of the models.

The reality is that current surface temperature is rising while atmospheric temperature is remaining essentially constant(after compensating for the effects of periodic el Nino/ el Nina & geophisical phenomenen, in contridiction to the model. The earth's surface temperature is not being driven by CO2 content of the atmosphere but rather variability of factors (e.g. solar variation, oceanic currents, geophyisical and astronomical events) other than the minor contributions of anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gasses.

Balanced? Science is not a matter of balanced "opinions", it is a matter of measurement and application of scientific method with it's strict testing of theories against the results of measurment.

What I have presented is based in measurement as opposed to agenda driven speculations.
