    The other day a friend from school asked me to help her find a climate change article for a class she is teaching. After looking around for a short while, I recalled reading one titled "Beyond the point of no return" by Ross Gelbspan, one of the most exciting authors on global warming. This is not the traditional "We can do it!!" article because Ross, along with most other climate gurus, recognizes that we are past that point. This article is a sobering reminder about the situation that we are in and our moral imperative to do something about it.

    The first time I read this I was deeply touched and sent it to everyone I know. I feel that now is a good time to bring it back and urge all of you to read it.

      If you had to read one and only one article on climate change, make it this one.

Quit drinking the Al Gore Kool-Aid

I have studied this issue for many years, reading everything I can find on the subject, including all the IPCC reports (not just the executive summaries). I have yet to come across any credible evidence that increasing atmospheric CO2, man-made or otherwise, is causing global warming. To the contrary, all of the research-backed theories that seem to explain past climate changes have nothing to do with CO2. Since you all seem to be convinced that it is, maybe you can point me to some research to enlighten me. So far, all this hype appears, in my view, to be based on computer models that are seriously flawed.
With a science and mathmatics background, I work in the Environmental Protection field. There are plenty of issues such as stormwater management, erosion, use of pesticides (etc,), and poor development planning that need our attention. So to waste time and huge amounts of resources on this doomsday scenario seems rather counter productive .
