[ RadSafe ] since we're talking about climate change

[Karen Street]

Dimiter,

Thank you for your answer. Can you link to a science source (eg, NASA/NOAA) with graphs to communicate that Earth is cooling?

What is the mechanism that explains the cooling?

I will only respond to one of your comments, on data. NCDC provides access to climate data. So do a lot of other sites.

etc
