Regardless of which side of the issue we are on, there are certain things we need to consider with all science; that is, that science is built on fact, not consensus. Consider the following facts and explain how a person could reach different conclusions about climate change? Provide specific examples and consider the following in your response:

Question 1: Despite all of the supporting climate change research that exists, none of it is actually based on empirical evidence; it is based on computer models similar to that used for predicting the next day's weather.

• Similar warming has been detected on other planets in our solar system.
• Google the "11-year sunspot cycle"; how might the energy output of the sun affect climate?

Question 2: What can we make of the dispute between NASA satellites showing no climate change and NOAA ground stations showing global warming?

Question 3: What are some of the scandals that have leaked in recent years showing climate scientists faking date to support their research?

Question 4: Has that helped or hurt the climate change argument?

Question 5: How could we explain changing climates on earth, both in recent decades and throughout earth's history?
