The Skeptics Handbook
Rise above the mudslinging in the Global Warming debate. Here are the strategies and tools you need to cut through the red-herrings, and avoid the traps.
To help the debate progress:
1. The first draft of the The Skeptics Handbook (pdf)
- How to get past the pointless tit-for-tat swapping of ‘evidence’
- What evidence is, what counts, and what doesn’t
- Why new results have changed everything
- How to steer out of details and get to the only point that matters.
2. Vostok ice core graphs are available for the entire last 420,000 years, as well as broken into 50,000 year divisions. Judge the lag for yourself.
3. Coming: resources, cartoons, graphs and information
4. Coming Articles:
- “The five reasons the AGW story got so out of control”,
- “How science communicators let us all down.”
This section is being developed (Sept 29, 2008). I will be adding links and documents, and copies of images over the next few weeks. Please email us: joanne AT joannenova.com.au (replace the ‘AT’ with ‘@’) if you would like access to copyright-free graphs, cartoons and updates. I’ll be happy to notify you as soon as they are available. (I promise, no spamming).

…There is only one question that matters: ‘will adding more CO2 to the atmosphere make the world much warmer now?’
