Sep 30, 2005	ST #279 – The Physical Evidence of Earth's Unstoppable 1,500-Year Climate Cycle The Earth currently is experiencing a warming trend, but there is scientific evidence that human activities have little to do with it.
Sep 19, 2005	BA #527 – Climate Change: Consensus Forming around Adaptation A consensus is forming concerning the appropriate response to global warming. While scientists continue to debate the extent to which humans are responsible for rising average global temperatures, a growing number of economists and policy experts have concluded that the best response to climate change is to adapt by investing resources in more pressing problems.
Sep 14, 2005	ST #278 – Living with Global Warming Should we try to prevent global warming? Or should we use our resources to adapt to the consequences of warming? This paper analyzes costs and benefits of two different approaches.
May 19, 2005	BA #517 – Global Warming: Famine — or Feast? For over 30 years, Lester Brown, a MacArthur Foundation "genius award" winner and president of the Earth Policy Institute, has warned that human activities threaten agricultural productivity and human well-being. Brown and other environmental lobbyists argue that continuing human-caused global warming poses a significant threat of world famine. They say hotter temperatures will cause crops to wither on the vine and increase the evaporation rate of moisture from the soil.
May 19, 2005	BA #516 – Climate Forecast: Warm and Sunny Only in the past 20 years have scientists begun to understand that the Earth has a moderate, persistent 1,500-year climate cycle that creates warmer and cooler periods of time. Sunspot records and the isotopes of carbon, oxygen and beryllium trapped in ice cores and cave stalagmites indicate that this process is driven by a small cycle in the sun's radiance.
Aug 08, 2003	BA #450 – Revising 1,000 Years of Climate History One of the cornerstones of the global warming "call to action" is the claim that average global temperatures over the last 1,000 years have remained rather stable, except for the significant warming during the last 100 years. This view is promoted by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which argues that recent warm years are mainly due to greenhouse gases emitted from the burning of fossil fuels.
May 16, 2002	BA #396 – Limitations of Climate Models as Predictors of Climate Change World leaders are making critical decisions based upon predictions of General Circulation Models or Global Climate Models (GCMs) that humans are causing global climate change or global warming.
Dec 18, 2001	BA #386 – S. 556: A Backdoor Attempt to Implement the Kyoto Protocol The Clean Power Act of 2001 (S. 556) is sponsored by Sens. Jim Jeffords, Joseph Lieberman and John McCain. Its supporters say it will reduce emissions of air pollutants from the nation's power plants. However, the inclusion of carbon dioxide (CO2) as one of the "pollutants" to be reduced raises questions concerning the true goal of the bill. Regardless of any other merits of or problems with S. 556, many analysts view the inclusion of CO2 as a regulated pollutant as an attempt to placate environmental lobbyists and certain international allies and to embarrass the president by implementing the Kyoto Protocol without Senate ratification.
Nov 12, 2001	BA #378 – Science vs. Spin: Government Warming Redux Every five years the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) publishes a massive three-volume report on global climate change. The first volume of the newest publication, the Third Assessment Report, reviews the immense body of climate change literature and attempts to present a consensus view of the current understanding of the scientific basis of climate change.
Aug 15, 2001	BA #368 – Saving Lives by Rejecting the Precautionary Principle Many environmentalists, citing the adage "better safe than sorry," argue that the "precautionary principle" should govern policy making. By this, they mean that technology should not be used until or unless it can be shown to pose no threat to humans or the environment.
