Abstract: Do you believe global warming is occurring? If so, do you believe it is related to the carbon dioxide concentration in the air? What techniques do people use to predict the future?
There's an old saying, "Statistics don't lie, liars statistic." Are some allowing their prejudices to overshadow good scientific reasoning? The use and abuse of models to support preconceived conclusions, pro and con, will be discussed.
An attemp will be made to give a broad perspective on this very important subject. Whether or not you believe that global warming is occurrring and is man made, you should find this talk thought provoking.
