Many of these are quite techinical. They fall between Lukewarmer and Skeptic.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'd be remiss in not pointing anyone toward Real Climate (www.realclimate.com), who fall between Believer and Gloom and Doom. Despite their stance it's a decent, scientific blog written by actual scientists. Dot Earth, the NY Times's blog, is also pretty good and I like them too.<BR/><BR/>Also, The Breakthrough is also very good. They fall between Lukewarmer and Believer.<BR/><BR/>Watts Up With That falls between Lukewarmer and Skeptic.<BR/><BR/>CO2Science is a denial blog, but they only link to actually published data. I like them for some reasons, but they DO cherry pick what they want to hear and report. To be honest, most do, that's why the debate has become so shrill and confusing on the blogosphere.<BR/><BR/>I'm one of the very few openly skeptical liberals there are and more then a few sites are conservative sites. But at the same time, believe it or not, there are lots of conservative believers and Gloom and Doomers. NASA's Dr. James Hansen, who is the Chief of all the Gloom and Doomers (and a decent scientist, I just think he's developed a Messiah Complex) is actually politically conservative except on this issue. He'd have to be, considering that I believe he lives in Adams Co. There are no liberals down there, lol.<BR/><BR/>This is what both sides on the extremes want--they want unthinking people who don't bother looking for their own information. Something may come out tomorrow that I'll read and I may just change my stance again, but I think lukewarmer fits pretty well. I have no doubt the Earth is warming, I just do not see the evidence anymore that it's the End of All Life.<BR/><BR/>Climate Audit is what sort of "opened my eyes" so to speak. But with any subject if you get the chance do some research and then figure out where you sit.terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336665201347749888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791979.post-10103553714192012372008-04-17T00:29:00.000-04:002008-04-17T00:29:00.000-04:00Any links to some summaries of studies?

As one who thinks I ought to care more about the environment, who feels that I should be more than a believer, but can't summon up the will to believe, I'd like to add some facts/theories to my luke warm support for things green.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
