About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,
please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our

Thanks for the response Fred. The point I was making is that you can grow food crops in the desert if you irrigate them sufficiently, which is currently happening. You can't grow them in Antartica unless you build a giant greenhouse. If the earth is warming, it will open more areas for crops which will produce more food, if there is sufficient CO2. I continually hear from alarmists that the world will face massive starvation if global warming increases. I call BS! If the earth cools and glaciers reclaim vast areas of land mass, then we have something to worry about.
Thanks also for your list of references. I notice you don't have anything representing the other side of the argument. You should try to balance your list a little bit. I read both sides and frankly the denial side has much more common sense going for it.
