July 12, 2011 > Hot talk, cold science: Global Warming Hot talk, cold science: Global Warming Submitted By The Independent Institute Is global warming real, imminent, and a threat to human life, especially with the evidence that global temperatures have been dropping since 1998? What predictions have now been established scientifically? What is the truth regarding Climategate and other revelations regarding the claims of manmade global warming? The proposed Global Climate Treaty and California state mandates call for extensive government controls to reduce fossil fuel use. Yet, is there scientific evidence to support such measures? Would the proposed massive "carbon" taxes and other controls put our society and countries around the world-especially those most disadvantaged-at greater risk? Based on the latest research, renowned astrophysicist S. Fred Singer will separate fact from fiction in this raging global warming debate.
