A study published last week in Nature magazine by climatologist Michael Mann and colleagues from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, may help melt away any lingering doubt about global warming. The scientists developed what amounts to a time-traveling thermometer. Applying innovative statistical tools to reams of evidence gathered from...
