If you have any interest in the great Global Warming (GW) debate 
please read the following paragraph before giving up on this email.

The reference below is the same one as I provide earlier today. 
However, I've now skimmed through a cross section of the material and 
I very strongly recommend that people who are interested in GW from 
any perspective also have a look. The material is presented by a team 
who firmly believe that GW is a principally man-made phenomenon BUT 
they provide many references to opposing points of view and address 
the points of controversy in an open and rational manner. (This is by 
no means what always happens in this area). I still stand by all the 
comments I made earlier today BUT I consider that the link below is an 
excellent entry point into the subject as long as one keeps as open a 
mind as possible. These people are firmly convinced of the 
reasonableness of their position and gently and rationally explain 
where the opponents to their ideas are wrong. Their arguments are 
good, and in general sound convincing. Many of them may even be 
reasonably correct :-). It is a certainty that some of them will be 
wrong. As they provide links to opposing views you can easily go and 
see what the other side of the argument is in each case.

Note, again, that what I said today still applies. The premise that GW 
is principally man-made has not been demonstrated to the degree that 
science would usually accept as statistically significant. There is 
much rubbish and vested interest involved in the pro-GW camp. But, 
given the importance of the issue and the severe cost to the world if 
we get it wrong, it behoves us to err strongly on the side of prudent 
avoidance. But, we need to do a far far better job of applying real 
science to the problem and of applying real solutions and not PC 
rubbish, as is happening all too often at present.
