NON-FACT: "2004 was the warmest on record" Where? Certainly not on Planet Earth! The peak temperatures recorded during the past 2 millennia were during the Medieval Warm Period [abot 1000 to 1400 years ago!] The temperature record? Proxy temperature records from ice cores, tree rings, etc. See Moberg, et al for details. The only thing I know about Dr. Barnett and his Scripps paper is that the study has not been published and therefore has not been subjected to careful outside analysis. Rule One: If it is published in "Science" or written by a "Science Correspondent" it isn't science.
