Relax, we're not all going to die. Well, we are, but not from global warming. I often listen or watch "news" reports about our impending doom from the man affected warming of the planet wondering if the "scientists" have ever heard of, much less used, the scientific method. Remember that? From like the 5th grade?
I have recently run across two great articles about the topic, both of them from Canada. I am currently considering taking back all the Canadian jokes I've ever told. The first is by Dr. Timothy Bell from Canada Free Press who makes the point that 30 years ago, we were all going to die from global cooling!
The second is by Lawrence Solomon of The National Post covering the story from an angle you won't see on the evening news. He shows how Dr. Claude Allegre, one of the first people to ring the alarm bell on global warming has, over time, realized that the scientific evidence contradicts the theory. The result of his making public his findings has been his being ostracized by colleagues. But, it's all about the free exchange of ideas. Yeah, that's it.
