Letter: Climate myths III

IT IS simply not true that Earth’s temperature has declined over the past decade, as Clark Cross sated.

On the contrary, data from such as Nasa, show it has been the warmest decdes since its data set began in 1880. The fact that 1998 happened to be warmer than 2008 is irrelevant. The years 2005, 2007 and 2010 are shown to be the three warmest in the record.

There is also ample data to show that atmospheric CO2 has increased substantially over the past century, with no exceptional volcanic activity (another red herring).
