Re: [Phys-l] Poll shows fewer Americans "believe" in global warming



I maintain that the data sets are fundamentally flawed by the "corrections" that are being made to the
raw data. However, you do not have to take my word for this...I only suggest that people take a closer
look at this issue, which is rarely discussed. The statisticians in the article are being given the
corrected data sets and asked, "what are the trends?" I think any of us would come to the same
conclusion as the statisticians, that the overall trend has been upward, unless you only look at the
trend for the past 4 - 8 years (2005 being the exception).
