26 myths about climate change clarified (05:21)
Here's some fun reading on global warming (aka climate change). The article details 26 myths about climate change, explains why they either aren't true or don't mean what polluters would like them to mean, and include a raft of links to studies and papers by relevant scientists (people who study climate for a living) which back the opinions offered. Actually a far more balanced presentation than it sounds, in some cases the opinion is more like "we know this doesn't work as the myth claims, but it does in fact matter, we just don't have evidence to quantify the effect yet."I haven't used this as a checklist against points in Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth, but I think that a few of the conclusions in that film may not mean what or as much as you could infer from the movie. I support the conclusions of the movie, but I don't think for a moment it's unbiased or free of selected interpretation.
