Climate Change Collection
As if there weren't enough controversy already over global warming and the likely major cause (or some would say not likely) being man-made, now comes “Climatgate” and the uproar or hacked email accounts and possible data-tampering. Climate skeptics smell blood and congress calls for investigations. As the snow flies people seem to be losing interest and the possibility for real action on climate change may be slipping through our fingers yet again. As a service to our readers we have decided to gather articles and commentary from the Skeptical Inquirer website on global warming in one easy to access place for your review and consideration.
