CO2 or not CO2?
Here are the first fruits of my literature search on whether anthropogenic warming is occurring.
Pro:
Scripps Researchers Find Clear Evidence of Human-Produced Warming in World's Oceans (press release...note that the article number is 666 :-)
Detection of Anthropogenic Climate Change in the World's Oceans (full article, requires free registration)
I will try to find a rebuttal to this once I've had time to read it; the California voter's pamphlet is taking a lot of my time right now...
Con:
Celestial Climate Driver: A Perspective from Four Billion Years of the Carbon Cycle
Rebuttal: A critique on Veizer’s Celestial Climate Driver. The critique's biggest points are that Veizer uses little statistical analysis and two charts were actually pulled from "a popular climate-sceptics book that has been distributed in Germany by the coal-industry lobby," and that the paper was reviewed by non-climatologists. On a theoretical level, though, the paper does seem pretty well-argued.
