As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel
obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the

How does temperature increase by a percentage? A percentage of what? What is 100%? What is 1%?
For instance: If it's 32 degrees today and 16 degrees tomorrow, has the temperature diminished by 50%, suggesting that zero is 100% temperature loss?
And if after that it gets to 60 degrees, then drops to 30, is a 50% loss now 30 degrees instead of 16?
I wonder if temp is really quantifiable this way.

masbury, you ask a very good question and one that has been in debate for a long time. Is it possible for us to calculate a global temperature? Then answer is NO. When you examine how they obtain their temperautre data, (ignoring the fact that the data itself has been proven to be inaccurate) you will find that they are quite selective about it and vast regions of the planet are not taken into account.

I think the point of this article is that even if you were to accept that a global temperature can be calculated, the data that they came up with doesn't point to very much global warming. I'll try to explain how they come up with the 100% you mentioned:

100% is whatever the "global"...
