ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** Michele, et. al. - Here are a couple more resources that may be of interest: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zORv8wwiadQ - This video shows a clear chart of consequences of a) not acting and significant human-induced CC happening [no money spent, Worst effects on humans, etc.] b) acting and significant CC happening [money spent and Bad, but not as bad effects on humans, etc. as a)] c) acting and significant CC NOT happening (ie. the overwhelming consensus of scientists being wrong) [We spend some money and get new technology] or d) not acting and significant CC NOT happening [no change, no money spent] - the whole ~10 minutes is good to watch, but the chart starts about 1:30 in. The basic question: can we afford to take the risk that significant CC is not happening? For climate scientists' rebuttals of the arguments of the few dissenters (whose arguments are simply recycled over and over again, though they've been disproven by the science), check out this posting (below). Though the answers are compiled by an amateur, they are endorsed by major climate scientists at realclimate.org (another resource if you want to get into the heavy science): http://illconsidered.blogspot.com/2006/02/how-to-talk-to-global-warming-sceptic.html *********************************************************************** For information about the Association of Science-Technology Centers and the Informal Science Education Network please visit www.astc.org.
