Global Temperature Increase? Someone at work is claiming that global temperatures havent increased since 2001. I doubt that this is true as massive amounts of CO2 have been pumped into the atmosphere in this time.

Can someone point me to a reliable source of data that proves that the planet is still warming.

Thanks littlerobbergirl,

I looked at the data and it seems he%26#039;s right. Theres been no increase since 2001. In fact there was a huge drop in Jan this year. Seems like the worst is over.

The graph in this article clearly show that 1999 and 2000 were cooling years, 2001 to 2006 were stable and 2007 another cooling year.

These measurements have been made by the official organisations that monitor global temperature, not GW sceptics or oil industry people, so they cannot be dismissed.
They are direct measurements from satellite, not proxy measurements, so they are more accurate.

This indicates that the role of CO2 in our climate has been substantially exaggerated, it is a factor, but only one in many. A Masters Degree in Ecology and 30 years experience in environmental science

%26#039;the worst is over%26#039;? lol! its just la nina (and the north atlantic oscillation last year) causing this temporary levelling off, youre not looking at the whole thing are you? we are up to the temperatures of the holocene maximum already.....

here%26#039;s an english one for you, the longest temp. measurement record in the world, CET
