Climate

"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.
