"This article , from the Daily Telegraph , states that data from the `` Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia `` shows `` that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase ( there was actually a slight decrease , though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero ) . `` Does anyone know anything about this university ( i.e . is it reputable in this area of science ) ? Also , any thoughts on the author and his interpretation of this data ( if the data is reliable that is ) ."
"My thought is , do n't treat editorials as if they were sources of facts . I went to the CRU website , and their home page has a graphic showing definite warming over the time period in question . http : //www.cru.uea.ac.uk/ Bob Carter , the guy who wrote your editorial , is either a fool or not above lying to make a point . The world is clearly getting hotter , all the data supports this . It 's not like we 're talking rocket science here . All this takes is reading a thermometer and writing down the results , which is a task that people have mastered for quite some time now . Anyone who tells you that we are n't heating up is either in denial , or in the pay of someone who does n't want to be told to stop polluting ."
