Re: John Henke's Nov. 4 letter, "No global warming":
It's truly sad when global warming deniers like John Henke spout unsupported accusations against people like Al Gore. It borders on silly when they make meaningless -- again, unsupported -- assumptions about the weather the Vikings encountered 1,000 years ago in Greenland. But when they don't even read their own letters, well, that's just plain ridiculous!
In his first paragraph, Henke wrote: "During the past 11 years, the coldest year was 11 years ago. That means the Earth has been cooling." Wrong! That means the Earth has spent the last 11 years warming! If he got that part wrong, it stands to reason that he has the rest of it wrong too.
Perhaps Henke should take a class in climatology before he toes the conservative mark on the subject again. At the very least, he should take a course in proofreading.
