Man-Made ``Global Warming'' (AGW): A Critical-Thinking Approach to Exposing Some of Its Scientific and Methodological Flaws
ORAL
Abstract
``The temperature of the Earth is increasing dangerously! Rising sea levels could flood cities! Polar bears are threatened! Glaciers are melting! And human beings are responsible, mainly, because of their activities which emit greenhouse gases.'' Such alarming scenarios are similar to the ones being propagated by various scientists, politicians, and educators as well as through the major news media and in the movies. But are those scenarios true? That is the question addressed by this talk.\\[4pt] [1] Major Reference: \textit{Climate Change Reconsidered ---} http://www.nipccreport.org/index.html\\[0pt] [2] Nobel Laureate in Physics, Ivar Giaever, public presentation, \textit{The Strange Case of Global Warming} critiquing AGW (Lindau 2012 conference of Nobel Laureates) --- http://www.mediatheque.lindau-nobel.org/{\#}/Video?id$=$1410\\[0pt] [3] Articles illustrating issues (pro and con) about AGW can be found in the \textit{NES APS Newsletters} beginning with the Fall 2007 issue --- http://www.aps.org/units/nes/newsletters
