Dear Magic City Morning Star:

Regardless of your current position on global warming, please consider one simple mental exercise that will allow you to put this political and financial issue in proper perspective.

Determine how you would achieve an average global temperature. Would you require six thousand absolutely accurate temperature readings from points around the globe? Whatever your number is, I accept it.

But for an average global temperature, those precise readings must be taken from mountains and valleys, deserts and jungles, oceans and lakes, cities and farms. Whatever you decide, I accept it.

Al Gore & Co. maintains that earth's average temperature has risen during this past century by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. They have apparently figured out how to arrive at an accurate global temperature in the year 2009. The question is how did they find those very same accurate temperature readings from the very same points on the globe in the year 1909?

Sincerely,

Joseph Pasulka
