Skeptics
Professor Fred Singer, distinguished research professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia, pointed out in his book, "Unstoppable Global Warming," that the warming we now seem to be experiencing is certainly not unique in recent climate history; even NASA acknowledged it had accidently inflated its official record of surface temperatures in the US beginning with the year 2000. Revised data show 1934 as the warmest year, followed by 1998, 1921, 2006, 1931, 1999, and 1953. New data are emerging that raises substantial doubt about the veracity of the surface temperature data in the US, as well as globally; warming from surrounding manmade structures are apparently the cause for the rising temperature trend being recorded.

GREENLAND - Will probably be the focus of near term sea level rise
Greenland is almost all covered by a very thick glacial ice cap. If all of Greenland's ice either melted or slid into the oceans, sea le...

Lack of precision and uncertainty of surface temperature measurements are why I favor using sea level as a "giant global thermometer". See Class lecture #2 on Sea Level.
