Global Warming Slam Dunk

The global warming denialists are not a happy bunch. They have a few of memes they like to push and push:

First that the planet is not really warming -it's cooling.
Second that you can't trust the IPCC or climate scientists.

Now Associated Press has messed with their conspiracy theories and sent four expert independent statisticians the NOAA's year-to-year ground temperature changes over 130 years and the 30 years of satellite-measured temperatures preferred by skeptics. Result?

Statisticians who analyzed the data found a distinct decades-long upward trend in the numbers, but could not find a significant drop in the past 10 years in either data set. The ups and downs during the last decade repeat random variability in data as far back as 1880.

So that means:

First that the planet is really warning...
Second independent experts have confirmed it.

It's a bummer to be a denialist.
