"WASHINGTON -- There is sufficient evidence from tree rings,
boreholes, retreating glaciers, and other "proxies" of past surface
temperatures to say with a high level of confidence that the last few
decades of the 20th century were warmer than any comparable period in
the last 400 years, according to a new report from the National
Research Council."

So the earth was warmer over 400 years ago. Fascinating.
^^^^^^

errmm ... I think you meant to say: "cooler".

Anyways, AIUI there is quite comprehensive expert concensus that
global warming is indeed currently taking place. The dispute is
over the cause -- human or natural.
