    My column last week titled “NOAA: U.S. temperatures unchanged since 2005” attracted a large number of readers and a number of skeptical comments.

    “U.S. temperatures unchanged since 2005”: A follow-up

    Howard Sierer - September 22, 2019
    U.S. temperature data gathered by the NOAA's U.S. Climate Reference Network shows no warming since its inception in 2005.That’s right: zero, nada, zip, nil.

    You know politicians are lying when their lips move. When you see Democratic candidates discussing renewable energy in this week’s debate, watch their lips.
