One polar bear definately not threatened by climate changeThe motto of this blog is "science is the answer". So in this brief post I'll just pull together the best links and thoughts about the science of climate change.

It's been triggered by a couple of interesting internet discussions I've been following where two people independently posted the same link. 450 papers that "support Scepticism of "Man Made" global warming".

Or perhaps .

There are plenty of other arguments about climate change, some very scientific and others less so. This is a list of some very common arguments put forward and what our current understanding of climate science actually is.

There's a useful on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ website. Scientific American what it calls the "seven answers to climate contrarian nonsense". And New Scientist has an entire devoted to all the latest research.

Or if you prefer you could examine all 928 papers published on "Climate Change" in the decade between 1993 and 2003. Fortunately someone has already for you.

"This analysis shows that scientists publishing in the peer-reviewed literature agree with IPCC, the National Academy of Sciences, and the public statements of their professional societies. Politicians, economists, journalists, and others may have the impression of confusion, disagreement, or discord among climate scientists, but that impression is incorrect."

Understanding the science can help you short-circuit some heated climate-change debate around the turkey this Christmas.
