Not only have multiple independent researchers demonstrated that
global temperatures are likely greater than at any period in the
last 2000 years, but the data used by researchers are all
independent too. Sources as varied as marine sediments, corals,
tree rings, stalagmites, boreholes, the length of glacial
tongues, ice cores, and lake sediments all independently confirm
that modern global temperatures are anomalously high.
Independent researchers using independent data and methodologies
to reproduce the each other’s results is the ideal for how to
conduct good science. Brian Angliss, from Serious errors and
shortcomings void climate letter by 49 former NASA employees So
very good. This is what popular science writing is all
about.(via globalspin)
