This article looks at the question of anthropogenic greenhouse gas sources as major drivers of climatic change from the perspective of so called skeptics, who question the linkages claimed by many who are classified as more alarmist about these concerns. The author presents his judgement on the scientific evidence, which he attempts to document in this article. In part this judgement is that it is the so called alarmists who rehash old arguments in defense of the eroding position of global warming alarmists. The only exception is, perhaps, the newfound concern that rising CO[sub 2] concentrations may instead cause catastrophic cooling in the North Atlantic basin due to changes in ocean currents. The author argues that the alarmists certainly cite no new data that enhances the credibility of the hypothesis that fluctuations in CO[sub 2] were the primary cause of climate change over the past 220,000 years.
