Mike, can you explain what you find partisan about the NOAA sites? They 
look to me to be a pretty straight description of what we know and what 
is theorized. Why is it that you don't think their findings are 
unbiased? What evidence of partisan behavior can you show us there?

There are a large number of reasons why, at this point, US scientists 
are in an uproar about more than global warming.
