Global Warming I am beginning an extensive research project, compiling news articles, varying opinions and original research on global warming. Seeking to shed some light on what the experts, politicians and media are saying. The links listed can help you research the following: is global warming happening? Is it man made? What are the potential consequences? What political course of action should be pursued? The verdict seems to be out already, however we should all take a closer look at global warming. The links will be divided up into categories to help you in your search. Eventually I will also post my own opinion column and hope to leave a forum for political discourse, since this subject invariably leads to politics. Media Spokesman for Global Warming Al Gore urges action on economy and global warming. Article on Global Cooling? This article highlights one of the best points against global warming, we need to take care of other problems first, primarily the economic downturn and the national debt. Do we really want to inherit or have our children inherit debt to other countries and a devalued dollar? Global warming is what, 100 or 1000 years to go and we can't do anything to change it according to recent reports. So how about we fix our economic troubles first, which seem a lot more dark and looming, then work on other issues that aren't so imminent. Not spend another trillion, billion or even million trying to fix something that is 'irreversible.' Let us first fix this debt cultural starting with our own government's debt! Global Warming called irreversible by US scientist. Why do we even have emission standards then? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7852628.stm http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99888903 Resources Government site done by the EPA.
