Hi! Below a link to an article stemming from the US Senate that from my point of view is very encouraging.
There have been plenty of dissenters of Global Warming, but no-one would notice it beneath the torrent of propaganda that frightens the bejabers out of people (note the link to the Washington Post article on the effect on children). Also, check the link to Der Spiegel "Not the end of the world as we know it". This Senate article deals with some of the scientist advocates of Global Warming who have become skeptics. There are apparently lots more who are to be listed by the Senate Committee. For a decade or two I have been arguing that the GW case was tenuous. "It's the weather," I would argue. The earth is warming, just as it cooled for 35 years in the last century. The ups and downs of temperature have been happening forever. But the scientific evidence that cast doubt on the GW hypothesis would be buried in professional journals that only scientists read. The forecasts of disaster get into the media. Here's a TinyUrl link to the Senate Committee item. If you have trouble I'll send the original URL which is very long. You might also copy this URL into your browser if you have difficulty, http://tinyurl.com/2dc9ea Let me know what you think.
