Earlier today the temperature was - 23 C at 2:00 AM EST. I just happened to be looking it at earlier.


As the winter reaches the solstice on June 21, 2006 in Antarctica it is very cold across the continent (click on). When the temperature satellite is animated there can be conflicting data according to the 'on the ground' data. The warmer temperatures noted around Scott Base in the animated temperature satellite is, however, validated to some extent when humidity and dew point are examined. Add to that the 'wind chill' and 'visibility' satellite, then, the 'on the ground' temperatures make more sense. When satellites record extremes of a very dynamic Earth it takes a more 'composite' view of the dynamics than a single overt bearing out of the facts.

Science is being a seeker. A seeker of the facts. The facts are the truth. There are times when seeking is more intricate than others and certainly a point to note as exploitive of the public when ONLY one view of Earth is depicted as the THE ONLY point of view to validate Human Induced Global Warming.
