Resource Title:The Global Warming Debate
Description:This overview of a late 1998 public debate over the reality of global warming includes a complete PDF copy of the evidence presented during the debate by GISS director Dr. James Hansen. This page covers the basics of using science to persuade an audience with statistics and graphs, as well as key points in the debate over global warming. Climate sensitivity, model calculations, water vapor feedback, carbon dioxide, and planetary disequilibrium are discussed in terms of the causes of global warming, and whether or not it is a serious threat.
