Introduction:

The purpose of this website is to provide an archive of resources - scientific articles, news articles, films, videos, books, interviews, debates, commentary and analysis - pertinent to the current controversy over global warming. This is a web site "in progress" so at any given point in time it may or may not be complete in terms of the currency or expanse of material reflecting both sides of the global warming debate (i.e. those supporting and opposing the CO2 explanation).

The website seeks to challenge and refute the assertion appearing above from critics like Laurie David that erroneously seek to mislead people into believing that there is no significant degree of dis-consensus among scientists, researchers and policy analysts regarding the contribution of CO2 to so-called anthropogenic global warming. Instead, this website takes the position that there is a dis-consensus among scientists and policy makers regarding the adequacy of the CO2 theory of global warming. Consequently it refutes the assertion by some that "the debate is over." I encourage those who peruse these pages to realize that herein lies HUNDREDS of peer-reviewed scientific articles spanning many years that effectively dismantles the currently dominate CO2 theory of anthropogenic global warming

Assertions such as those proffered by Laurie David are premature and are intended to stifle inquiry. The site is predicated upon the position that the ratification of Kyoto would have been premature - based upon the dis-consensus that persists among experts as well as on the basis of the perverse features of Kyoto that would be harmful to the U.S. economy. Moreover, it asserts that the current efforts by the Obama administration and those pursuing Cap-And-Trade policies to curb the unproven theory of anthropogenic global warming is not only premature, it is wantonly reckless and dangerous to this nation and its citizens.

However, whatever the philosophical leanings of the reader may be on this subject, the website is intended for use by a variety of persons, to include students, researchers and lay people. It is not a site designed to "winnow" out the most important research and at any moment in time may or may not be "fair and balanced" in terms of reflecting both sides of the disagreement. It does seek to present research representative of the variety of experts who have studied this issue - on both sides of the controversy - although in an effort to refute the dismissive attitude of many toward so-called climate change skeptics, it disproportionately reflects dissenting opinions.

Even so, it strives to include policy analysis, news articles, media coverage and films and video that pertain to the debate. Likewise, since some of the scientific literature pertinent to this topic is dated and difficult to come by, I have sought to whenever possible provide links to abstracts or original articles so that readers may peruse these with ease and will not have to spend the countless hours I have invested finding some of this documentation. Ultimately, I leave it to the reader to sort out the relative importance of each article and research finding. Nevertheless, I have sought to demonstrate in this website that their are bona fide experts on both sides of this debate who do professional research and who disagree. In that regard, I take issue with my colleagues who simply dismiss the so called "skeptics" "dissenters" or "contrarians" (as they are called) as a group of ill-informed, cantankerous scientific mavericks who in most cases have been bought out by "big oil" or some "conservative" political issue. Even a cursory review of the work and credentials of these academics demonstrates that these people are qualified to make their assertions and should be given the scientific benefit of the doubt and not be vilified.

Finally, the reader should understand that my professional perspective on this issue is as a policy analyst. I am not a scientist in the classical sense of the term - approaching this issue as a "social scientist." I look for consensus and dis-consensus on issues and where I find consensus I generally counsel informed actions. However, where I see dis-consensus, such as that evident in regard to this policy issue, I always caution a careful and incremental approach to policy intervention and action. For the moment, I am urging all those who look at this issue to proceed cautiously and in the spirit of collegiality with those who disagree. If a clear consensus eventually emerges, one way or another, then I hope this website becomes an interesting historical artifact of more conflictual times. If you need to reach me, or have additional articles, videos or links that might usefully be added to this site, please contact me at twimber@fgcu.edu. Thanks!  (July 4, 2009)
