My son is fighting the global warming group think at his school and is trying to find facts for a report to counter those of the global warming clans.
He can only use accepted web sites on a list from the school, and FR is not one of them. I showed him Thomas Sowell's articles on FR, but they were not factual enough.
I know there is a film on the Global Warming Swindle, but we have not been able to see it yet, and I'm not sure that's from an "acceptable" site.
If you can help him out by giving us sources of facts that counter the global warming myth, please let us know. (I guess the below zero temperature this morning and record snowfall for December is not good enough, although anecdotal "evidence" seems to work for the global warming pros.)
Thanks a million.
How about the press release by the 400 or so Scientists that have doubts on GW?
You can find it on YouTube here:

It’s also on Google video...just search for “Global warming swindle”
“The great global warming swindle” was produced by Britain’s channel four, so it should be “acceptable”. I know it used to be available from YouTube, but I think it might have been pulled for legal reasons.
I’d be interested to see that list of “approved sites” that the school provided.
There are several freepers that keep a list of GW links and post them on GW-related articles. Perhaps do a search on “global warming” and you’ll run across those postings and links.
So does this list of "accepted web sites" include any that might have an opposing view to Global Warming? Why do I feel like I would be surprised if it does?
Here’s my stupid questions: what is GW?
We did do a global warming search on FR; perhaps we should try it again. We didn’t have much luck. I wrote to his teacher, with articles by Sowell noted, saying that we were using FR as a site since the others were not yielding helpful information for my son. FR still did not make the accepted site list. :(
I wish I had the list of approved sites. I should delve into this more. My son has it.
Surely JPL & NASA are acceptable sources.
~~Anthropogenic Global Warming ™ ping~~
It appears that DaveLoneRanger runs a GW ping list; I’m sure he can point you in the right direction.
Dave...?
Duh.
Guess I have to put my thinking cap on; vacation has affected my brain. :)
There’s a marvelous book for students called “The Sky’s Not Falling” that he could use, but I don’t remember the author’s name. Also, the scientists who wrote “Unstoppable Global Warming—Every 1500 years” have a website also, I believe. “Cool It”, by Bjorn Lomborg probably has some good links as well. I also recommend the BBC transcript of the UK judge’s opinion on Algore’s movie and how there are so many inconvenient lies. . .lol!
xcamel, can you help out here with some good links that will likely get approved?
That would be wonderful; I would love to be on the Global Warming ping list.
Buy a copy of Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear”.
It is a fictional story but it is full of data with complete source references.
Have you seen this essay at Climate Skeptic?
“A Layman’s Guide to Man-Made Global Warming”
It’s very well done. A youtube video link with all the graphs is halfway down the page:
