Open Parachutehttp://openparachute.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/climate-change-controversy/ [Open Parachute] Sometimes climate change deniers raise the issue of individual scientists whose work has been included in IPCC documents but who disagree and wish their names reviewed. This shows a misunderstanding of such reviews.

Climate Cafe[Climate Cafe] Climate Cooling Report a Trojan Horse for Deniers: For those of us who are deeply concerned about Climate Change, it is great news that Climate Change deniers are holding up the HEADLINE from Nature Magazine and saying - “Look at this!”  Deniers have ignored hundreds of similar reports, let’s hope the Headline gets everyone to try to understand the report which supports everything scientists have been saying all along.

Gerry Charlotte Phelps[Gerry Charlotte Phelps] The Original Warming "Denier" - Into the Cold: To better understand the issue of climate change, including the controversies over the IPCC summary documents, the White House asked the National Academy of Sciences, the country's premier scientific organization, to assemble a panel on climate change. The 11 members of the panel, which included Richard Lindzen, concluded that the science is far from settled: "Because there is considerable uncertainty in current understanding of how the climate system varies naturally and reacts to emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols, current estimates of the magnitude of future warming should be regarded as tentative and subject to future adjustments (either upward or downward)."

Between the Eyes[Between the Eyes] Enviro-Lies Continue: That of your children and their children could fare worse still, say some scientists, because Solar Cycle 24 could mark a time of profound long-term change in the climate. As put by geophysicist Philip Chapman, a former NASA astronaut-scientist and former president of the National Space Society, “It is time to put aside the global warming dogma, at least to begin contingency planning about what to do if we are moving into another little ice age.”
