Global Warming Basics - Dot Earth Blog...

Global Warming Basics - Dot Earth Blog - More foolishness/fraud from Andy Revkin - NYTimes.com A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that the world’s climate is warming, primarily as a result of unfettered burning of fossil fuels and the razing of tropical forests. Such activity contributes to the atmosphere’s invisible blanket of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping “greenhouse”...

A Rapid Change in the Climate

Today Christopher Booker has written an article on a new book by Christopher Booker [The Real Global Warming Disaster: Is The Obsession With 'Climate Change' Turning Out To Be The Most Costly Scientific Blunder In History']. Ok, so the guy is going to talk this up then! And the 'alarmism/conspiracy theories' cuts both ways. But even having said all that, again, here are some very salient points. First...
