[Phys-L] Re: [Political Action] The nature of the lack of proof (climate warming)



I know there's no shortage of literature on the topic. I have read a lot of it.

Most of the articles involving species assume climate change is occurring and then
match up observed changes in species with the climate change. That's not all that
convincing. We could take each of these 1200 articles and do a critique of each, but I
doubt the list would be interested in that pursuit here. As with a lot of the literature on
any topic you pick, most articles shed little light on the subject, but a small percentage
do.

If anyone can point me to some physical evidence of global warming, I
would be
interested.
