I’ve arranged sources in two major categories
- Proponents or neutral – material on global warming due to human activities as well as “neutral” climate change related references
- Skepticss – material related to claims that climate change is not caused by man, man’s impact on climate change is minimal, there’s nothing we can do to change it, or it’s not as bad as they say.
