Global Warming
While both Kluger and Lindzen discuss global warming in their articles, they have a very different way of going about it. Kluger seems to think that man is the sole reason for global warming through production of CO2 and all aspects of global warming dangerous derive from that. Basically he thinks that the end of the world will be natural disasters caused by mankind's CO2 production. Lindzen seems to think that the whole idea is overplayed, but then again he seems to have a biased opinion. His work got shot down and now he seems to think that global warming is some big scam and people make it into a bigger deal that it is. To his credit, he does give CO2 some responsibility for environmental damage. I think that Lindzen is just whining and his paper is ineffective because the language and lack of evidence give it less credibility than Kluger gives lots of facts and treats the issue in a more respectful way.

Fact: a truth known by actual experience or observation
Theory: a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact
Man's production of CO2 has increased the average temperature of the earth. Can you guess which of the two definitions fit this statement?
