"New Study Confirms NOAA Finding Of Faster Global Warming"

"Thomas Karl and colleagues were harassed by Republicans for publishing inconvenient science. A new study proves them right."

"A new study has shown that a 2015 NOAA paper finding that the Earth is warming more rapidly than previously thought was correct.

Once again, science is shown to work. The laborious process in which scientists check and recheck their work and subject their ideas to peer review has led to another success. An independent test of global warming data has confirmed a groundbreaking 2015 study that showed warming was faster than prior estimates.

Because of its inconvenient findings, the study’s lead author Thomas Karl was subjected to harassment by Lamar Smith (R-TX), chair of the House Science Committee, in an effort to impugn his credibility. But now Karl and his co-authors have been vindicated."

John Abraham reports for the Guardian January 4, 2017.
