Climate Confusion
Climate change studies are a dime a dozen. Most of them involve computer models which makes it difficult to independently verify the output. A tweak of either the model's assumptions or an input parameter can drastically alter the results. Dramatic conclusions will tend to attract more attention and funding. Even the Drudge Report is paying attention to these studies. Today's New York Times article, New Study Warns of Total Loss of Arctic Tundra, is a good example of the kind of attention grabbing headline that climate scientists seem to love.
If you are truly interested in climate change, read through some of Michael Crichton's lectures.
Gory details are available from the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists
