What Climate Science?

A number of useful links and sites. First, an interesting review of Bjorn Lomborg's Cool it!, which is basically his corrective to exaggerated claims often made about the consequences of climate change. One interesting factoid from the review: "to achieve the scale or sea level rise discussed by Gore [in Inconvenient Truth] would require figures ‘40 times higher than the absolutely highest model estimate and an astounding 174 times higher that [sic] the average’." Second, Arts and Letters Daily has set up a great new website called Climate Debate Daily, which posts links to all sides of the climate change debate. Third, my favorite website on the climate change debate is Climate-Resistance, and not just because they have come up with the best title in a cliche heavy debate. (exhibit A: 'Cool It').
