Talk:Global warming skepticism

Reversion to Separate Articles

Per the discussion in the merge discussion, I will work on the article and get it up to standard, since skepticism and denialism are not the same. Please feel free to jump in and help. GregJackP Boomer! 03:52, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Can you add or ues this? Peter Wood writing in Academic Questions has said scepticism over AGW has become respectable since the Climategate controversy.

It is still of interest to ask what we would expect a doubling of carbon dioxide to do. A large number of calculations show that if this is all that happened, we might expect a warming of from .5 to 1.2 degrees centigrade. The general consensus is that such warming would present few, if any, problems. But even that prediction is subject to some uncertainty because of the complicated way the greenhouse effect operates.

Linked to Global warming controversy

Global warming controversy is the appropriate redirect. It is inappropriate to equate skeptics to "deniers", a pejorative political term. --Pete Tillman (talk) 01:31, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
