    Gentlemen

    I was responding to someone who claimed the troposhere temperatures weren't rising, a statement that the data clearly does not support.

    PS 31 years of data does not nothing more than support longer term analysis of data.

    Here's the ice core data for 800,000 years

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EPICA_temperature_plot.svg

    So what does it tell you, well the temp goes up and down naturally.

    So that may be enough for you, stop with the one piece of informationthats supports your view.

    However for me I'm not silly enough to discount the fact that increasing the population from 700 m in 1750 to 6.7 billion now, reducing forest cover by 85% and releasing billions and billions of CO2 by burning carbon based fuels over the last 200 years will have an IMPACT on the rate of change.
