As someone who tends to take stands one way or another on most issues I've often straddled the fence on the global warming issue. I believe its real yet question to what degree carbon emissions and human activity influence it. Today I came across an article in New Scientist that I believe does a good job of dispelling many of the myths and misconceptions associated with the phenomenon and backs up their statements with references to source data. To anyone interested in getting more up to speed on the subject I recommend reading
