How do we know temperatures are changing? \u00a0What data set do you use? \u00a0What time period do you analyze? \u00a0How do you make sense of trends with so much year to year variability?<\/p>\n

If you’ve asked yourself these questions, you will be interested in this story about one analysis of Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay temperatures and how they were analyzed by different people to get conflicting results. \u00a0BU.com (Boston University) published this article<\/a> as part of their series on communicating climate change research. \u00a0Many of these same questions come up when you discuss long-term trends in air temperature over the US or the globe.<\/p>\n
