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.
Science vs. Expert Opinion: Did the Bush Administration Really Censor Science?
Once again, the press is in a tizzy over the Bush
Administration’s “censoring of science.” The case
against the Bush Administration this time is that it edited testimony
presented to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW) by
Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). The testimony, originally 14 pages, was cut to six...
Global warming is not about to unleash hell on us
Long-time British chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson, addressing the New Zealand Business Round Table
AS it is, the temperature projections (the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change) does come up with in its fourth and latest report range
from a rise in the global average temperature by the year 2100 of 1.8C
for its lowest emissions scenario to one of 4C for its highest
emissions scenario, with a mean increase of slightly under 3...
Global Warming Debate Is Not One-Sided on College Campuses
Kids These Days
A series of articles in student newspapers at well-regarded
institutions of higher learning indicate that not all young people are
buying what the global warming alarmists are selling...
Kyoto targets flouted
GREENHOUSE gas emissions from the world's industrialised countries are
again on the rise and closing in on record levels, despite most having
signed the Kyoto Protocol...
The Big Secret: Climate Bills Result in No Meaningful Impact on Global Temperature
Three bills have been introduced to Congress which have as a goal to
slow the rate of global temperature rise, and in doing so, avert some
type of putative global climate catastrophe. They propose to do so by
reducing U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases...
Global Warming, Inc.
Al Gore no longer needs to make claims about creating the Internet,
because the former Vice President deserves much of the credit for
creating an entire new industry -- the global warming business...
LAT: Island Shrinking by Global Warming... But for Over 100 Years?
The L.A. Times published a story on Sunday that is supposed to be just
another global warming scare piece, but even they couldn't lie through
their teeth in every instance because, while the island of Kivalina,
Alaska has been shrinking [1], even the Times admits its been doing so
for well over 100 years...
Concerning the Current Consensus on Climate Change
In a Policy Forum article inspired by the most recent report of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Oppenheimer et al.
(2007) write in the 14 September issue of Science that "with the
general credibility of the science of climate change established, it is
now equally important that policy-makers understand the more extreme
possibilities that consensus may exclude or downplay"...
Tree Rings Don't Indicate Past Temperatures
One of the reasons I doubt that the climatologists who talk of global
warming are scientists is the claim that tree rings provide precise
evidence of past average temperatures that can be compared to
thermometer measured temperatures...
