Book excerpt: The National Academy of Sciences, based in Washington, D.C., presents an abstract and a full-text version of the January 12, 2000 report entitled "New Evidence Helps Reconcile Global Warming Discrepancies; Confirms That Earth's Surface Temperature Is Rising." The Panel on Reconciling Temperature Observations of the U.S. National Research Council prepared the document. The report examines the apparent conflict between surface temperature and upper-air temperature, which has led to the controversy over whether global warming is actually occurring.
