Don Wuebbles: Fool, fraud, or both?

Does global warming mean we're losing Lake Erie?

Don Wuebbles, professor of atmospheric science at the University of Illinois, says global warming is likely to make summer temperatures in the Midwest 5-15 degrees hotter in the summer.

"Michigan becomes more like Alabama and Arkansas," Wuebbles explained.

The global warming discussion actually refers to global warming that's been accelerated by man.

The burning of high-carbon fossil fuels such as oil and other activities associated with the modern industrial world have added to the atmosphere's load of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide that have heated up the planet's surface.

There is no debate among climate scientists about the reality of global warming, Wuebbles said.

"Too often the media wants to treat global warming as a contentious topic," he said. "There is no science debate going on in the scientific community."

Peer-reviewed scientific journals, in which scientists hash out controversies and discuss new research, show no debate. Every major scientific organization in the world has put out a statement on the importance of the issue.

"I think the public remains confused about whether this is a major issue," Wuebbles said.
