“There is a battle brewing over anthropogenic global-warming (AGW), and, as in all wars, the first casualty is truth. All of the above statements have in common that they are, in full or part, untrue. It is, so far, only theorized that greenhouse gases (GHG) and ozone depleting substances (ODS) are the primary culprits of observed warming — not proved. It is only hypothesized that warming bodes large scale climatic disasters. And, it is wishful thinking of a tall order that the data and models available are sufficient to determine the true state and change in climate. The remaining statements are all predicated on the single notion that global warming has been proved beyond dispute and is a human artifact; and is, therefore amenable to or answerable for a wide body of secondary effects.” (02/27/08)
