On Global Warming

I am including this topic since so much of the debate rests on rather dubious conclusions drawn from computer models that have not correctly formulated the relevant physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere (say the effect of the clouds on the Earth's radiation budget).

But people seem to be impressed by the size of the computers that produce these numerical results.

I am including Richard Lindzen's 2002 article; it makes eminent sense to me @ http://eaps.mit.edu/faculty/lindzen/153_Regulation.pdf

And some introductory material:

And more technical discussions:

There is also the book "Cool it: the Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming" by
Bjorn Lomborg of "The Skeptical Environmentalist" fame & subsequent controversy.
