[Discussion document] Global Warming: A Socialist Perspective - Part One

marxist.com start today a serialised article on Global Warming, written by one of their readers who challenges the scientific basis upon which the theory of human-caused climate change is based. He gives detailed facts and figures which point out the flaws in the dominant, mainstream theory within the "scientific" community. He maintains that global warming cannot be proved so we are left to accept "a belief system" and at the same time abandon the scientific method. marxist.com publish this article as a discussion document that they hope will stimulate serious debate on the issue.

[Discussion document] Global Warming: A Socialist Perspective - Part Two

So what drives the Climate? The real answer is no one knows. There are theories in abundance, computer simulations by the score. But as Gershwin described the Mississipi "It just goes on trundling along." Before attempting to answer the question it is probably worth reviewing the limitations of computer modelling.

[Discussion document] Global Warming: A Socialist Perspective - Part Three

In part three Brian Baker in answering the question "Is the planet warming?" states that "The short answer is yes" but his opinion is that this "is most probably from the little ice age, but nothing dramatic." Different methods produce different results, therefore one has to take great care in using as scientific and objective a method as possible. Are these statements valid points? Marxist.com invite their readers to comment.

Climate change - An answer to Brian Baker

Mick Brooks questions the method applied in the four-part article by Brian Baker published this week. Brian Baker's article does not proceed from a Marxist framework. It tries to show that human activity has no part in climate change. Environmental problems such as climate change are inevitable under capitalism and that what is required is a world socialist plan that takes account of all the costs and benefits of human economic activity.
