Once again, the White House has censored a scientific report that discusses the possibility of diseases becoming a problem under a warmer climate. As many as 6 pages were removed from the report. It is really upsetting to see a bunch of religious freaks and industry puppets constantly muzzling scientists to suit their political agenda.

Oreskes responds to Schulte
Many readers will no doubt know the 2004 paper in Science by historian of science Naomi Oreskes, a paper which discussed the consensus position regarding anthropogenic climate change. Predictably, the paper received much vitriol from the climate contrarians and denialists. Now, a medical researcher (Klaus-Martin Schulte, who appears to be a consultant in endocrine surgery) has claimed that Oreske’s paper is not only outdated but also wrong. This claim has been extensively crowed over...
A dire warning from eminent scientists
The Earth today stands in imminent peril… …and nothing short of a planetary rescue will save it from the environmental cataclysm of dangerous climate change. Those are not the words of eco-warriors but the considered opinion of a group of eminent scientists writing in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Please Stop Talking About the Global Warming Consensus
Here’s a thought provoking blog entry by George Musser over at Scientific American: Last year, I started a thread on this blog to discuss doubts about global warming and humanity’s role in it. I tried to catalog the misgivings in as even-handed as way as possible and conducted a simple poll to see which broad category of doubts people found most persuasive. The top two results were: II. The present warming could be a...
Peru’s glacier vanishing, scientists warn

The facts surrounding the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
There is an excellent new resource explaining the science behind the IPCC report, and debunks the mythsassociated with it. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) brings together hundreds of the world’s leading scientists to study the effects of human activity on the Earth’s climate, the impacts of climate change on environment and society, and options for limiting climate change. This year, the IPCC is releasing its fourth assessment of climate change science, which shows...
