Here is a short lecture from my personal hero, Richard Feynman. It describes how to do science and explains the type of errors that you can make. Global Warming science is chock full of all the things he said to avoid. AWG may be true or false, but we can't tell from the evidence that is being presented. In particular he says to avoid data mining and selective publishing. Needless to say, AGW falls apart if it has to follow the rules of true science.
I see. Then we are just to ignore melting Ice Caps and Glaciers?
The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
while evidence for AGW is at least somewhat present, the actual negative impact on our climate is highly questionable. more importantly, our knowledge of how to counteract the increase of CO2 is very weak, and horribly expensive. and if past experience holds, our efforts will probably just exacerbate the problem.
we are not going to stop burning fossil fuels until they are used up. crippling the economies of the countries that are most likely to develope the new energy sources needed is not going to help.
