Is it the Sierra Club's position, as you just testified, that the Earth is cooking up and heating and warming right now? Is that the Sierra Club's position? Global temperatures are on the rise, sir. And I assume the Sierra Club would issue a public retraction if confronted with the facts that the data are precisely as I described, that over the last 18 years there has been no significant warming. And indeed, that is why global warming alarmists invented the term the pause to explain what they call the pause in global warming because the data demonstrate what you just said, that the Earth is cooking and warming is not backed up by the data.
