Global Warming: Unfinished Business
by S. Fred Singer 2000
Climate science is not "settled;" it is both uncertain and incomplete. The available observations do not support the mathematical models that predict a substantial global warming and form the basis for a control policy on greenhouse (GH) gas emissions. We need a more targeted program of climate research to settle major scientific problems.

La réponse libérale au débat sur l'effet de serre
by Jonathan Adler 2001
No political decision will ever produce zero risk in the field of climate change, as we are unable to predict future climate conditions. The only viable strategy for decision-makers is to try to select the safest option possible through a constant policy of reasonable economic and scientific tradeoffs.

Adapt or Die: The science, economics and politics of climate change
by Kendra Okonski (editor) 2004
Climate control will not prevent the negative effects of climate change, nor will it benefit humanity. Instead, we must adopt policies that promote human wellbeing today and in the future, by eliminating disease and poverty, developing new technologies, and improving humanity's resilience to change.

Global Warming: Myth, Reality or Distraction
by Gary M. Vasey 2004
Recently a team of scientists from NASA and the University of Alabama at Huntsville announced that global temperatures have been dropping, not rising, over the past two decades based on satellite data. But at the same time, the Global Climate Change Information Programme finds that temperatures have been warmer in the past 10 years than at any other period during the last 140 years.

It's Hot. But is it the Greenhouse?
by Thomas Schelling 2003
Greenhouse warming is not clearly established by the temperature record, nor is it in any way ruled out. We may see the greenhouse “signal” clearly in another decade or two. Meanwhile we have to rely on what science can tell us.
