If you have questions about some of the "controversy" about climate change or you are having trouble rebutting the assertions of a Global Warming Skeptic, then the NewScientist website has a new tool for you.
They write: "With so much at stake, it is right that climate science is subjected to the most intense scrutiny. What does not help is for the real issues to be muddied by discredited arguments or wild theories... So for those who are not sure what to believe, here is our round-up of the 26 most common climate myths and misconceptions."My favorites:
- We can't trust computer models of climate - Yes, we can...
- It's too cold where I live - warming will be great - Lots of reason why this is a short-sighted and naive response...
- Ice cores show CO2 increases lag behind temperature rises, disproving the link to global warming - Sorry, but it's physics...
- Many leading scientists question climate change - Umm... No. Most who question are not leading climatologists... At this point, this claim is like saying "Many leading scientists question evolution."
