Climate Change and the Envirotruth

There are many myths and misunderstandings surrounding the topic of climate change. To help inform the public debate, Envirotruth has amassed a list of the "Top Ten Myths" surrounding the climate change dialogue.
Environment, Inc."
In April 2001, the Sacramento Bee's Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Tom Knudson placed the environmental movement under a microscope and discovered that the "high-powered fundraising, the litigation and the public relations machine" of today's environmental movement have started to bear a startling resemblance to what they purportedly fight against.

A scientific analysis of the question of Global Warming

Welcome to the Friends of Science website, a critical scientific assessment that challenges the premises of the Kyoto Protocol, and presents causes for climate change that are more plausible than carbon dioxide

Science Computer Models Still Wrong Early this year the National Research Council released a report that argued that there was still a major discrepancy between the satellite- and surface-based temperature data but that both datasets were essentially correct. This presented a major challenge for computer models, according to the study, since they predict a substantial warming in the atmospheric layer measured by satellites while the data show almost no warming.

Still Waiting for Greenhouse
On October 24, 2002, the National Geographic Channel and the National Geographic News, ran a story titled "Greenland Melting? Satellite to Help Find Answer". After an overview of a new NASA satellite named ICESat to be launched in December 2002 and tasked to the study of ice and how it moves, the report goes on to examine the impact of `global warming' on the Greenland ice cap. The focus of the story was the Greenland fishing village of Ilulissat, on the west coast of Greenland at (69.23°N, 51.07°W), The National Geographic reports that 10% of all Greenland's icebergs come from Ilulissat (which means "place by the icebergs") and that the residents of the town say the ice is changing and not for the better, or so says the National Geographic.

Skepticism.Net

If some environmentalists are to be believed, we are on the verge of massive global climate change which will see a significant rise in sea levels, chaotic weather patterns, and catastrophic droughts all caused by small increase in global average temperature.

This site provides links to resources skeptical of those sort of doomsday scenarios. The articles linked to here are written by a wide variety of people, from scientists to laypeople, and their inclusion here should not be read as an endorsement of their positions.

Just as when dealing with things coming out of the environmentalist camp, you need to use your brain and decide for yourself to what extent global warming poses a threat to humanity.

Overview
A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th Century have produced no deleterious effects upon global weather, climate, or temperature. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth rates. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in minor greenhouse gases like CO2 are in error and do not conform to current experimental knowledge.

Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists
http://www.cspg.org/climate_change.html The CSPG has been asked by many members, and encouraged strongly by its Past Presidents, to state a position on the controversial subject of global climate change. Although the Society has traditionally avoided taking public positions, the Executive has agreed that we must take a clear stand as professionals, and as knowledgeable scientists of the Earth
