The perceived consensus is that global warming is real and is a clear and present danger to human civilization and the planet as a whole. According to environmental alarmists, the planet is warmer now than ever before. The leading theory holds that human industrial activity is causing carbon dioxide (C[O.sub.2]) and other greenhouse gases to be pumped into the atmosphere causing abnormal, runaway warming. The result, alarmists say, will be more drought, famine, pestilence, species extinction, and extreme weather events of unprecedented violence. Are these predictions true? An examination of the science behind global warming paints a very different picture.
