More Inconvenient Facts

Adding to yesterday's post about inconvenient facts about "Inconvenient Truth", here is an excellent piece by H. Sterling Burnett of the National Center for Policy Analysis. One key point: even if global warming is occurring, the extent to which human activity can change the outcome is an important question that is not being addressed.

Commentary from the Competitive Enterprise Institute on the recent release of the Natioanl Research Council's study on Surface Temperature can also be found here:

Their take: nothing new in finding that warming is occurring, but a basis for a continued upward trend is not proven.

Also from the CEI is this commentary on the recent talks between the USA and EU. Their take: the Kyoto protocol is dead. Their comments can be found here:
