This and a few other minor errors were rectified in the paperback edition.

How to Talk to a Climate Sceptic : A Few Things Ill Considered. Below is a listing of all the articles to be found in the “How to Talk to a Climate Sceptic” guide, presented as a handy one-stop shop for all the material you should need to rebut the more common anti-global warming science arguments constantly echoed across the internet. In what I hope is an improvement on the original categorization, they have been divided and subdivided along 4 separate lines: Stages of Denial, Scientific Topics, Types of Argument, Levels of Sophistication.

This should facilitate quick retrieval of specific entries. Individual articles will appear under multiple headings and may even appear in multiple subcategories in the same heading. Please feel free to quote from, paraphrase, link to and otherwise use any or all of them in the best way possible to fight the good fight against mis- and dis- information where ever it appears!

Our aim is to help people understand global climate change — and how the factors that drive climate are changing. We start with climate diagnostics — people are usually most interested in climate change itself. But cause-and-effect analysis requires also data on climate forcings (which drive climate change) and feedbacks (which amplify or diminish climate change).

We update graphs of "Storms of My Grandchildren. " Yet the greatest insight about processes discussed in "Storms" is often provided by other quantities, for example, the rate of ice sheet disintegration. We include some data from other scientists or their web sites, as indicated. Continual updating of data curves, whether global temperature, the Greenland ice sheet mass, the sun's brightness, Keeling's carbon dioxide record, or other more obscure quantities, is a most interesting aspect of science. That pleasure is now mixed with concern. Construction of this web site is just beginning. Critical Climate Diagnostics and Feedbacks. Jim Hoggan | Slamming the Climate Skeptic Scam.

See also: excerpt, references, reviews, interviews and appearances, and more on the "smoking gun" documents behind the book "Doubt is our product," a cigarette executive once observed, "since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the minds of the general public.

It is also the means of establishing a controversy. " In this eye-opening exposé, David Michaels reveals how the tobacco industry's duplicitous tactics spawned a multimillion dollar industry that is dismantling public health safeguards. Product defense consultants, he argues, have increasingly skewed the scientific literature, manufactured and magnified scientific uncertainty, and influenced policy decisions to the advantage of polluters and the manufacturers of dangerous products. In Doubt Is Their Product Michaels proves, beyond a doubt, that our regulatory system has been broken. Doubt is Their Product can be purchased through Amazon.com and Powells.com.

Please note: This article has been superceded by one on my A Few Things Illconsidered Science Blogs location. It remains here only for posterity, comments are turned off. Please bookmark, visit and comment at the new How to Talk to a Global Warming Sceptic page. Thanks to all who have commented and otherwise participated in this web resource. (View a list of all topics by Category)(jump to topics in this article)I have spent about 18 months now rather obsessed with the controversy over Global Warming. One thing I have noticed over these months is that there are a very limited number of objections or attacks on what is really very sound and well resolved science but they come up over and over again on sci.environment, alt.global-warming and the blogs I visit either regularily or occasionally.

Now there are already a few very good FAQ's out there about the science, so I don't feel the need to create yet another. There is no real evidence of warming, just model predictions. (more to come!)
