The point to note is that we live on the surface of the planet, not in
the upper troposphere where the satellites are measuring the
temperature. If the satellite measurements are correct, which I
believe thout it seems tha Phil like many others does not, then that
means that the models are wrong! Not that global warming is not
happening.
If the models are wrong that does not mean that they are over-
estimating the warming, though that is what the sceptics want to
believe.
Cheers, Alastair.
