Description

A barrage of news stories, editorials, and even business advertisements is proclaiming that this is our last chance to save the planet. Examining the evidence for global warming, this paper finds a lack of convincing data to allow any conclusive analysis. Regarding the Earth Summit, it outlines six reasons why the conference is unlikely to achieve its stated goals.
