Slide Into Ice Ages Not Carbon Dioxide's Fault?
Article Abstract:
Recent studies suggest that carbon dioxide may not play the large role in long-term climate change previously thought. A comparison of warm spells on earth 15 million years ago and 43 million years ago shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were not particularly high. More research is require to fully examine the issue.

The United Nations Climate Convention: unattainable or irrelevant
Article Abstract:
The UN Convention objective of stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of CO2 would require the unattainable achievement of reducing emission levels from 6 billion to 2 billion tons per year during a period of population growth. The goal would become irrelevant if atmospheric models are wrong.

Arrhenius and global warming
Article Abstract:
Svante Arrhenius published a paper in 1896 that was the first evidence of the quantitative relationship between changes in carbon dioxide concentration and climate. Arrhenius predicted that doubling CO2 would produce a temperature increase of 5 to 6 degrees C.
