Global Warming

In Jeffrey Kluger's article "Be Worried, Be Very Worried" he talks about what is causing global warming, as well as the effects of global warming. He credits many of the natural disasters such as drought fueled fires, Katrina, and cyclones to the emission of CO2. He includes many statistics in his piece, which helps support his claim. Some statistics being the Earth's CO2 concentration and the change in that over the years, as well as the cubic miles of melting glaciers.
Similar to Kluger's article, Lindzen does acknowledge the fact that there is a problem, however he takes a different approach to it. He believes that it's not really a cause for concern at this moment. He believes that global warming is inevitable. I think Lindzen's article was more persuasive, he makes good solid points and in the last sentence he states that the growing concern for global warming is more alarm rather than genuine scientific curiosity, which I happen to agree with.
