So how can climate change deniers misrepresent data to show that there has been no increase in global temperatures?One wayis to make the y - bloc scale leaf so big that it whole obscure any course .

In fact , this year saw the worldwide medium temperature surpass 1 ° one C ( 1.8 ° F ) of warming compared to 1900 , halfway to the 2 ° hundred ( 3.6 ° F ) scientist agree we call for to keep warm up under :
