Are Temperatures And Ocean Levels Rising Dangerously? Not Really. By Dom Armentano

STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC There is some difficulty measuring ocean levels, but the temperature levels are unambiguously ambiguous, yielding no firm conclusion as to whether things are getting hotter, colder, or staying the same.
