Global Warming Is Happening

**********************

 

Climate change scepticism is politically motivated, the

evidence is all around us. Good science is about dispelling

common prejudice, not taking leave of common sense.

Dr. Mae-Wan Ho

 

 

Climate change controversy is entirely political There is

little doubt that global warming is happening and happening

fast (Abrupt climate change happening, SiS 20) [1]. But the

public may have been distracted by the disproportionate

attention the mainstream press has been giving to `sceptics'

of climate change. Their most recent effort in April 2006

was billed as an open letter signed by " more than 60 leading

international climate change experts " [2] and addressed to

Canada's new Conservative Prime Minister praising his

commitment to review the Kyoto protocol on reducing

emissions.

 

Climate change sceptics are having a field day in the United

States where a powerful anti-science lobby has effectively

taken over science policy on a whole range of issues

including climate change.
