Title: The greenhouse effect: Chicken Little and our response to global warming

Journal Article · · Journal of Forestry; (USA)
OSTI ID:7153163

In this article the author suggests that global warming studies are ambiguous and have generated a chicken little response in the public and in policymakers. Uncertainties in studies of ocean warming and ozone depletion are discussed as well as the role of other trace gases such as methane, chlorofluorocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
