Newsweek Global Warming

Newsweek kirjoittaa ilmastonmuutoksen "kieltäjien" rahoituksesta. Tiedeyhteisö on jakautunut kahtia. Toiset ovat sitä mieltä, että ihmisen aiheuttama ilmastonmuutos on tosiasia ja toiset ovat yhtä vahvasti toista mieltä. Sain vihjeen tästä Twitterin kautta.

Global Warming globalwarming Newsweek article explains how global warming deniers are very well-funded http://urltea.com/15ew.

Got this on Twitter a few minutes ago. I think it's a good idea to read the Newsweek article. There is no simple answer to what is right or wrong.


By Sharon Begley | Newsweek | Aug. 13, 2007 issue - Sen. Barbara Boxer had been chair of the Senate's Environment Committee for less than a month when the verdict landed last February. "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal," concluded a report by 600 scientists from governments, academia, green groups and businesses in 40 countries. Worse, there was now at least a 90 percent likelihood that the release of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels is causing longer droughts, more flood-causing downpours and worse heat waves, way up from earlier studies. Those who doubt the reality of human-caused climate change have spent decades disputing that.
