Welcome!
This is a group dedicated to the discussion and exploration of the science of global warming and climate change. Many join this group to discuss and learn the issues and the scientifically based challenges to the theory of global warming. The subject though, justifiably, is also a political one. Many of those with a political interest in the subject are quite vociferous and insistent and lack the quest for a scientific detachment. For this reason this group is moderated.
For those interested in the political aspects there exists an unmoderated (except for SPAM) group http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SciPoli/ called "SciencePolitics".
