brought to you by
The Center for Science and Public Policy
(CSPP). CSPP is a non-profit, non-partisan public policy
organization.
CSPP relies on scientific experts in many nations and the vast body of
peer-reviewed literature to help lawmakers, policy makers, and the
media distinguish between scientific findings that are agenda-driven
and those that are based on accepted scientific methods and practices.
In a timely manner, the Center's Science Watch Team alerts policy
makers, the media, and the public to unreliable scientific claims and
unjustified alarmism which often lead to public harm. We strive for a
fair and balanced examination of science.
Skeptics
raise doubts on global warming
Most climate scientists cringe at the question. Why not just ask
whether you believe in gravity, they argue. The planet has warmed, and
evidence points, at least in part, to human activities. The debate
among these scientists ended years ago...
Global
warming not to blame for warmer North Pole?
Recent dramatic changes in the Arctic climate - melting sea ice, warmer
ocean, green fields in place of icy wilderness, etc - might not all be
directly related to global warming...
Brazil
discovers huge oil reserves
BRAZIL has discovered huge new petroleum reserves in its south that
could turn the country into one of the biggest oil producers in the
world, the government and its state-controlled oil company has

A misguided environmental-policy bill meandering through the Senate
would slap U.S. businesses with pie-in-the-sky requirements for cutting
greenhouse gases by unattainable amounts...
Welcome
to a world of runaway energy demand
“The increase in China’s energy demand between 2002
and 2005 was equivalent to Japan’s current annual energy
use.” This nugget of information, buried in the International
Energy Agency’s latest World Energy Outlook, tells one almost
all one needs to know about what is happening to the world’s
energy economy...
A
Warning Sign of Cooler Times to Come?
Working with a sediment core from the continental slope east of
Virginia (37°N, 75°W, 1049 m depth), a second core from
the margin east of Nova Scotia (44°N, 63°W, 250 m
depth), and a third core from abyssal depths of the Laurentian Fan
(43°N, 55°W, 3975 m depth), with age control derived
from radiocarbon dates of planktonic foraminifera, the author derived
three Holocene sea surface temperature (SST) histories by means of
alkenone paleothermometry employing the temperature calibration of
Prahl et al. (1988)...
Global
warming: Oceans could absorb far more CO2, says study
PARIS (AFP) — The ocean's plankton can suck up far more
airborne carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously realised, although the
marine ecoystem may suffer damage if this happens, a new study into
global warming says...
First-Ever
Survey of IPCC Scientists Undermines Alleged 'Consensus' on Global
Warming; Poll Exposes Disagreement and Confusion Among United Nations
Scientists
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Is there really a
"consensus" on global warming among the scientists participating in the
United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)? To
find out, DemandDebate.com conducted the first-ever survey of the U.S.
scientists who participated in the most recent IPCC report...
Manna
from heaven for climate change deniers
Imagine you could travel back to Britain in 1998.
One of the amusing things you might do there - in between buying
heavily into property and cheap gold - would be to pooh-pooh all those
ridiculous panic-mongers wittering on about the Millennium Bug...

Sun
and global warming: A cosmic connection?
