Real inconvenient truths
Our failed political dynasties, Pelosi's stylish appeal and George W. Bush as Queen Victoria. Plus: The hot air about global warming.
By Camille Paglia [2007-04-11]

  • On Climate Change

    I too was disappointed to read Camille Paglia's comments on climate change, but it's also a shame to read ad hominem attacks.

    Instead, I'll list there interesting URLs that I hope Paglia reads:

    • The graph of global temperatures for the last 150 years. Note that this cannot have been caused by solar changes, since the sun and the earth's orbit doesn't change on 20 year time scales like that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Instrumental_Temperature_Record.png
    • The IPCC report on the physics of climate change. Bear in mind that the people who write this report are scientists, not democrats or activists. http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdf
    • The IPCC report on the biological and environmental effects of climate change. Again, Al Gore had nothing to do with writing this. http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM6avr07.pdf
