The Great Debate

Global warming and Climate Change do they exist:
The Great Debate : Thoughts to Ponder
1.How much weight should we place on scientific models of climate change and Global warming?

2.What impact might Green house Gases such as CO2, CFC have on Global warming and climate change?

3.Why is the Ozone layer so important to the discussion of Global warming?
