I like this discussion form the TimesOnline. It is a good argument for both sides of the issue from people who know what they are talking about.
It all starts with this article posted by David Bellamy back on october 22nd.
Am I worried about man-made global warming? The answer is “no” and “yes”.
No, because the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction has come up against an “inconvenient truth”. Its research shows that since 1998 the average temperature of the planet has not risen, even though the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has continued to increase.
Yes, because the self-proclaimed consensus among scientists has detached itself from the questioning rigours of hard science and become a political cause. Those of us who dare to question the dogma of the global-warming doomsters who claim that C not only stands for carbon but also for climate catastrophe are vilified as heretics or worse as deniers.
And according to most global warming advocates, a denier is what he is. Here is some of the back and forth posted a few days later.
It's sad that Bellamy has to write an article defending his position. Will there ever be time when their is a debate from scientists based on science rather than opinion. Regardless which side you are on, boil all the talk down to what is known to be fact, it does not lead us into a direction that would suggest the end of civilization. Bellamy states those facts in his article and suggests that we simply put too much faith in computers.
I agree.
