Global Warming, Climate Change & Climate

"Consensus is not science" -- Michael Crichton

A trial without a defense is a sham
Business without competition is a monopoly
Science without debate is propaganda

                                  -- Joanne Nova

Bob Arthy interview with Christopher Monckton:

Bob Arthy interviews Christopher Monckton Attack the argument, not the man!. Arthy probes Monckton's background and involvement with global warming/climate change and how climate alarmists, unable to refute Monckton either intellectually or scientifically, must resort to ad hominem childishness (e.g., John Abraham, St. Thomas University).

In original format, 3.5 Mb PDF (best for printing):  Attack the argument, not the man!

Christopher Monckton Thoroughly Rebuts John Abraham, St. Thomas University:

Professor Abraham, who had widely circulated a serially mendacious 83-minute personal attack on me on the internet, has had a month to reply to my questions.

I now attach a) a press statement; b) a copy of the long letter in which I ask the Professor almost 500 questions about his unprovoked attack on me; and c) the full subsequent correspondence. I'd be most grateful if you would circulate all this material as widely as you can. The other side has had much fun at my expense: without you, I can't get my side heard, so I'd be most grateful if you would publicize this material.

--The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley

[Editor's note:  Abraham while refusing to directly respond to Monckton's questions, has tacitly admitted he erred by revising his original tirade to remove ten minutes of material attributing things to Monckton that were a complete fabrication. Such perfidy is unbecoming of faculty at any university. Neither St. Thmoas University nor Abraham has had the integrity to completely take down the misleading material Abraham continues to post on the University's server. Think twice before becoming a student at any university where dishonor is not only shielded, it is supported. My verdict:  Monckton in a second round knockout!]

Global Warming Petition Project
Signed to date by more than 31,000 qualified scientists in the US (including over 9,000 PhDs) who agree
"there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of ... [any] greenhouse gases ... will
... cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere or disruption of the Earth's climate."

Climate Change websites:  Links to highest recommended sites are in bold text, alphabetically, at the top of the list. Recommended sites all tend to be pretty current and typically have their material organized according to most recent date.
Excellent Climate Change Papers/Discussions:  Links to papers/materials are in order of those providing the best evidence to the widest audience. Few of the links contain material that most people would have difficulty understanding. These links are adjusted from time to time as new papers are listed. Those at the top of the list are generally considered of higher importance, but that does not diminish the value of those near the bottom (those are generally not updated as frequently).

  • Global Warming False Alarm: The Bad Science Behind the United Nations' Assertion that Man-made CO2 Causes Global Warming by Ralph B. Alexander, (2009)

    This book is not one to judge by its cover. Its strongly-worded title and chapter headings might easily lead one to expect a no-holds-barred adversarial work, but it turns out to be quite the opposite. Refreshingly, Dr. Alexander's style is warm and friendly throughout, providing a comfortable, well-paced and very informative read. The book's fair-minded style and its clear logic make it an easy read.
