From Frank Lee:

Re: “Extreme” rain follows global warming (Aug. 7): The article claims “Heavy rain is coming more of­ten”.

The article also claims “global warming continues”.

Scientific measurements show that CO2 is increasing over continents.

Scientific measurements also show that global temperature has cooled since 1998 and is now the same as it was in 1980.

Scientific analysis shows that for 4 billion years global temperature corresponds to solar activity and not CO2 levels any way. This is especially evident in the last 800 years. The recent decline in solar activity corresponds to the recent decline in global temperature.

I suggest you replace your indoctrinated Columbia Journalism School PHD with a real scientist.

Doesn’t any editor read your stuff before it is published?
