Global Warming Debate...

[Kärnfysikern]

Here is a review on the current status of global warming research and how reliable it is. I havent had time to read through it myself though.

Its not done by the IPCC btw so even those that mistrust the IPCC should read it.

I'll take a look at it....a soon as my computer decides to download it...

No, the optimum location for temperature reads would be the equator where the sun shines the strongest and the "greenhouse" gasses would have the greatest effect on average temperature

When you say Greenhouse gas you are reffering to CO2 right?

I have to totally disagree with you. The equator is a point on the earth where the sun's distance is the closest throughout the year. To get the proper data one would need temperature measurements all over the earth (including the equator) to assess overall temperature variances. No scientific study looks at one point to know what's happening as a whole. And studies have shown that greenhouse gases don't sit over the equator...for the most part because of the global winds, the most damage has been recorded over the poles - N/S.
