Global Warming resources?

Lita Thammorongsa: You want to prove it? good luck a lot of men tried and failed, but hey your young sparky.

Marvella Benward: www.globalwarming.org is not a good resource.

Raul Lushbaugh: Yes the movie is very informative. Here is a link to a group that might have more info for you..http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/StoppingGlobalWarmi...check it out..

Leontine Kreitz: Habibullo Abdusamatov, head of the space research laboratory at the St. Petersburg-based Pulkovo Observatory, said global warming stems from an increase in the sun's activity. His view contradicts the international scientific consensus that climate change is attributable to the emission of greenhouse gases generated by industrial activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation."Global warming results not from the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but from an unusually high level of solar radiation and a lengthy - almost throughout the last century - growth ! in its intensity," Abdusamatov told RIA Novosti in an interview.There has been an extraordinary amount written and said regarding the correlation between increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels since the Industrial Revolution and an apparent warming trend in global mean temperature. From the vehemence with which this is asserted one would assume the temperature/atmospheric carbon dioxide plot to be absolutely compelling. As can be seen in the graphic linked from the adjacent thumbnail, such assumption is poorly founded.Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, something which can be experimentally demonstrated in the lab, so it is intuitively reasonable to assume that rising levels of this greenhouse gas will have some effect -- but how much?Professor Roger Pielke, Sr., suggests a figure of 26.5%-28% of contemporary warming is attributable to atmospheric carbon dioxide, so, of the IPCC's estimated 0.6 ± 0.2 °C that would be 6/10 x 28/100 = ~0.17 ± ~0.06 °C. It is probabl! y no coincidence that that figure is almost precisely the same! as that derived by plotting temperature forcing as determined by Professor Richard Lindzen (recall from our greenhouse page the plots of varied estimates of cooling in an atmosphere devoid of carbon dioxide). It also represents about three-fourths of the total anticipated warming from a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide because the temperature effect of increasing carbon dioxide is logarithmic. This strongly suggests that measurable global mean temperature increment from increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has almost run its course....Show more

Gaynell Pizzaro: An Inconvenient Truth is a great resource, but remember it's only one side of the argument. I would recommend you watch that, and then find opposing arguments.

Matt Tiry: Going from easy stuff to great stuff, but hard.Great graphs at:http://www.globalwarmingart.comReally well organized, comprehensive:http://profend.com/global-warming/http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science/Great stuff with l! ots of references, but not well organized:http://www.realclimate.org"climate science from climate scientists"The very best. First the 20 page summary, then the 1000 page report. Don't let that deter you. Try reading the full report. Pick a chapter you like. It's really well written and has by far the best references.http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdfhttp://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/wg1-report.htmlYou'll need Acrobat:http://www.adobe.com/Finally, refutations of the skeptics "logical" arguments:http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/pressoffice/...http://gristmill.grist.org/skepticsThe movie might be a good introduction, but the stuff straight from the scientists is much better. Personally, I wouldn't take the time....Show more

Carolin Southers: yes the movie is awesome and very informative! do it!
