Global Warming

[John Thornton]

I was under the impression that both these gentlemen (Balling & Michaels)
had had their criticisms thrashed soundly by the IPCC, Dr. Bert Bolin, and
even by another 'climate change' skeptic Richard Lindzen of MIT. I have read
some of the IPCC's papers and have read Ballings and Michaels charges
against them. I have read the rebuttals to their charges and can frequently
see for myself where their mistakes are. Although as I said before I am not
an expert in this matter.  Since the Kyoto conference is more political than
anything else I don't think it is intended be the definitive word on climate
change. As far as I can tell the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change would be the place to start for relatively unbiased scientific
information on this issue.
