"Climate Science is Not Settled" was written by a prestigious scientist who served in the U.S. Energy Department during the current administration. Since the president promotes strong measures to combat the feared future catastrophe, it's a surprising article - because this scientist says that some of the claims are not warranted.
In a nutshell, here are his points: the globe did warm 1.4 degrees in the last century, human activity has only slightly influenced that rise (by 1-2% of the 1.4 degrees), and science doesn't have the precise information that it needs to predict any future catastrophic model.
I like his civil tone (see "Civil Discourse"). He states the evidence and raises relevant questions . . all without name-calling attacks.
