Critics	Proponents	Critics	Proponents
Cross sections of ancient trees show no evidence of warming over the past century. Furthermore, recent satellite data (which are the most reliable source of global temperatures) show no warming trend during the 1980s. The earth is probably not warming at all.	Actually, tree rings do show that the earth has been warming for a century or two. The satellite data which were mentioned have recently been found to contain errors. When they were corrected, the data showed a slight warming trend.	No argument.
