An Urgent Plea to Fellow Climate Scientists

At last, we scientists have gotten the attention of leaders from 195 countries who agreed in Paris on December 12, 2015, that global warming is a major problem and that we must work together now to reduce the warming. This is great news.

Yet as we take this giant step forward, a serious crack is forming in the foundation of greenhouse warming theory. There are many good reasons to wonder if we have the science right. What if we spend trillions to reduce greenhouse gases and have little effect on observed warming?

As you well know: Science is never settled. Scientists need to be open to think about and debate new observations, new insights, and new understandings.

Consensus is the stuff of politics, but debate is the stuff of science.
