"Research published in May, for example, showed that since 1970 the temperature of the upper troposphere — the region 7.5 to 10 miles above Earth’s surface — has been rising by about 0.65 degrees Centigrade per decade. This is consistent with most climate change models.
Skeptics had previously challenged the validity of these computer models because data gathered by satellites and high-flying weather balloons showed little or no tropospheric temperature increases. This problem is now resolved."
