Formerly Classified Global Warming Spy Photos Released

An anonymous reader writes "The Obama administration has released more than a thousand intelligence images of Arctic ice, following a declassification request by the National Academy of Sciences. The images feature a 1m resolution, and scientists who have had to base climate models on 15m- or 30m-resolution photos are rejoicing. The photos, kept classified by the Bush administration, show the impact of global warming in the Arctic and the retreat of glaciers in Washington and Alaska."

*Sigh!* Did you even read all of my post before you hammered out that knee-jerk response? I didn't say they are wrong, but that my opinion is that they're wrong. Big difference. And yes, I have looked at such facts as the Early Medieval Warm, the Little Ice Age and the way that CO2 increase in the atmosphere follows a temperature rise, not precedes it. Of course, that's not as sexy as AGW, so I can understand why most people don't bother to check little embarrassing things like that before panicking.
