Global warming denial refutation

Global Warming portal global warming debate denial refutation effects skepticism arguments climate change oil addiction

Overview

Due largely to the efforts of very powerful entities with an interest in maintaining the status quo in energy-production, i.e. the oil industry, there has been an ongoing and well-funded media campaign to discredit the idea of global warming and its implications. This has led to both a large number of easily-refutable objections being widely circulated and to many of the same long-refuted arguments being brought up again and again.

The definitive collection of responses so far appears to be Coby Beck's "How to Talk to a Global Warming Skeptic", linked in the Reference section below.
