The Voice of Heard/The Science and Non-science of Global Warming

Global Warming is a rather complicated debate in political, economic, and scientific grounds.  An increasing number of scientists agree that the recent climate change is being caused by human activity, mainly releasing gases like carbon dioxide, nitros oxide, and methane into the atmosphere.  Other people who are skeptical of global warming question the scientific validity of climate change.  Meanwhile, most business interests see the global warming issue as a threat to the economy.

This website is run by Greenpeace, an environmental activist group.  It is the most interactive website I have ever encountered.  It maps the links between global warming skeptics and funding from the fossil fuel industry.

This website addresses the arguments made by skeptics and what the science actually says about such arguments.

Based on my own investigations, I will have to make the following conclusions: global warming is a serious issue, something must be done about it, and it must be understood in the most reasonable and scientific manner possible.
