Climate Change 101 - Resources for more information
Below is a list of links to other websites that provide a great deal of information about climate change.
Introducing the Climate Change Examiner - Tony Hake - Your guide to climate change
Welcome to the launch of the Climate Change Examiner! I will be serving as your host on a journey of science as we explore climate change, global warming, the environment and most importantly, man’s effect on it. Knowledge is the key to understanding the issues we face and I hope to provide you with a complete view of the issues at hand.
Industry and professional groups face revolts over climate change positions
One week later, the professional members of ACS let their opinion be known and it most likely is not the response some might expect. The July 27th issue of the magazine was filled with dozens of letters rebuking the magazine and its parent society for being so dismissive of dissenting opinions on climate change. The letters bordered on a rebellion within the society as it draws harsh criticism and calls for Mr. Baum to resign.

All of these events and others would seem to indicate that the debate about manmade climate change is not truly settled. While it may be easy to dismiss business groups that are struggling with a message on climate change, there is obviously considerable dissent within the scientific community as well.
