As far as global climate change is concerned, here is the evidence as provided by NASA: http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ Mario responds: Santosh, The information in the link you posted is speculative as shown by the following paragraph, and may be false based on temperatures published by the same source: Quote: The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years.1 Unquote. "Most of it is very likely"? What are the economic implications of the political demands that we turn only the western economies on their head because of something that its strongest proponents say only that "most of it is very likely"? "Proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented"? This seems false based on actual surface temperatures published by the same source: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/ This shows that global warming seems to have taken a hiatus since 1998, not "proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented". This hiatus is also contrary to what the highly touted climate models had predicted previously, by modellers who are part of the UN's IPCC, the lead organization warning us with 100% certainty - as per their spokespeople - that the earth IS going to hell in a handbasket. It was this contradiction that Mojib Latif, a top climate modeller and an author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change according to the report I posted, was referring to when he was warning "the world's top climate scientists gathering in Geneva at the UN's World Climate Conference." that the actual global warming "for years to come" would contradict what the the popular climate change models had previously predicted. http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-September/182988.html Since Mojib Latif has a vested interest in the IPCC's orthodoxy, why wouldn't you take his concerns seriously, since he is making them to his like minded peers, and until he is proven wrong by actual information. There are also critiques of GISS which you will probably want to dismiss by referring back to sources who are the targets of such criticism: http://www.heartland.org/publications/environment%20climate/article/24556/GISS_Hansen_Caught_Doctoring_More_Data.html
