The CCSP SAP  Executive Summary states  Previously reported discrepancies between the amount of warming near the surface and higher in the atmosphere have been used to challenge the reliability of climate models and the reality of humaninduced global warming Specifically surface data showed substantial globalaverage warming while early versions of satellite and radiosonde data showed little or no warming above the surface This significant discrepancy no longer exists because errors in the satellite and radiosonde data have been identified and corrected New data sets have also been developed that do not show such discrepancies  The IPCC Fourth Assessment Report Summary for Policymakers states  New analyses of balloonborne and satellite measurements of lower and midtropospheric temperature show warming rates that are similar to those of the surface temperature record and are consistent within their respective uncertainties largely reconciling a discrepancy noted in the TAR   Sorry that you dont like it   too bad
