Please find below, potentially useful material for Live earth party discussions, to go along with the case argued by Al Gore in his movie and live earth presentations themselves.

Resources for discussing the scientific basis and evidence
for human-induced (anthropogenic) global warming
I recommend the following exposition as a very readable and strong case for AGW:
Scientific Evidence (of global warming)
Woods Hole Research Center, Cape Cod, MA
There is also a very readable and accessible series by Dr. Chameides at Climate 411 (the comments following the episodes provide additional useful resources):
How We Know Humans Cause Global Warming
By Dr. Bill Chameides
Environmental Defense, NY
The last episode of that series will be out next week, I was told.
Daily Kos diarist “ClimateLurker” is posting the same in her diary series with excellent commentary in response to the questions asked.
~~~~~~~~~~
I have been putting together some data analysis based arguments and plots on my own, which can be found in these DKos discussions:
- Temperature and CO2 taking off
- this comment lays out the sequence of arguments I’d currently make to argue the presence of AGW.
~~~~~~~~~~
RealClimate.Org is “science central” for AGW.
There have recently put up a Start here page with a guided compilation of materials.
The search feature (near top right of the banner) there is often very useful.
~~~~~~~~~~
Hope these help.
I’ll post more material if I get to complete somethings I am working on, either as an update to this diary or as a fresh diary.
If you have questions (or answers and other help), please do not hesitate to post the same in comments.
Thanks.

ask questions, find answers and share your thoughts.
Yes, we are poor stewards of the earth.
Yes, we waste far too much but.
Some boneheads decided India and China were to be exempt from carbon emissions in 1997 via the Kyoto accords. Hence most industries set up shop there at great profit to the very same boneheads which made it all possible.
Global warming=Reduction of your lifestyle.
BOHICA, get out the globalization grease, cause you will be taking the shaft on this one!
Everyone needs do their share. That’s the message echoing all over the planet today and tonight. You may want to see: List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita
Fine, then how come we do not consider shutting off the “can you hear me now” cell phone networks.
How come we don’t consider closing businesses for even a single day, ie the now defunct Blue Laws.
Why do we run the treadmill 24/7 and never get anywhere.
