Response to W. W. Kellogg's Carbon Dioxide and Climatic Change
Abstract
Three points are made: (1) the contemporary practice of developing consensus views through committees of experts tends more to harden the consensus than to solve or deepen understanding of the problem, (2) the effects cascade tends to appear for more ominous when presented in isolation than when viewed from the receiving end as only one of the many impacting factors, (3) there are valid reasons for questioning the prevailing estimate of 3 + or - 1.5(0)C warming for doubled CO2.
