The Science behind Climate Change

Their is such a huge debate out there wheither climate change is real or if it is blown out of proportion. Unfortunately politics, like it always dos has gotten involved into a matter that could mean our lives. The media, both conservative and liberal have not helped matters too much either; this is usually because most reporters are just as confused as the rest of us on the real issues. The science surrounding climate change is quite confusing and that is where many people get lost. Their are many self-proclaimed experts out there who pertain to be knowledgeable about something, but they really are not. I am far from being an expert on this topic myself and do not wish to sound like one, but I feel it necessary to get the word out. www.realclimate.org is a website moderated and produced by real respected accreditated climate scientists, not a couple bloggers who have a vauge conception of what is going on. There is lots of great information on there and you can even pose questions on a open forum and a expert in that field will answer your question. If you ask a glacial question a glacialogist will answer it, vulcanology question a vulcanologist will get to it and so on in that manner. I encourage you to go take a look for yourself, especially if you think this whole climate change deal is a bunch of codswallop.

I checked out the RealClimate website and it is really cool. I like the unbiased comments coming from scientists working in the field. I subscribed to their RSS feed so I can keep updated on issues they post. Perhaps we can keep the IDRocks readers updated when we find cool stuff they will want to know!
