[asa] Climate Change History

Friends: For those interested in following these matters, here is a link to a pretty good video on the history of climate science and its critics by UCSD science historian, Naomi Oreskes. If you have a free hour it is worth a look - the first 25 minutes is mainly about the history of climate science , the last part is a history of its critics - especially focused on the role of the George Marshall Institute.

This video may be considered to be a follow-up to a paper she in Science magazine published in 2004 which was quoted in the Gore documentary:

The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change

"We are by nature creatures of faith, as perhaps all creatures are; we live by counting on things that cannot be proved. As creatures of faith, we must choose either to be religious or superstitious, to believe in things that cannot be proved or to believe in things that can be disproved."
Wendell Berry
