Questions about Global Warming
GTT: Has the earth, in fact, warmed dramatically over the past 40 years? Has it warmed at all? By how much? If it has warmed, did most of that warming take place in a single year or did it increase gradually over time?
Also, if there is a temperature increase, are the temperatures being measured on the ground or somewhere up in the atmoshpere? How reliable are temperature readings in other parts of the world?
(I notice that when I turn on a desk light by a thermometer in my son's room, the temperature increases by a degree or so. Might something like that happening with the measure of ground temperatures?)
Also, if temperatures decrease this year and in the next few years, would that invalidate the global warming hypothesis? (By the way, why have some people stopped talking about global warming and started talking about "climate change"?)

Higgs: Banking Act of 1935 + Fed’s Exercise of This Authority = New Deal Policy
"Satellite readings of temperatures in the lower troposphere (an area scientists predict would immediately reflect any global warming) show no warming since readings began 23 years ago. These readings are accurate to within 0.01ºC, and are consistent with data from weather balloons. Only land-based temperature stations show a warming trend, and these stations do not cover the entire globe, are often contaminated by heat generated by nearby urban development, and are subject to human error."
