Global Warming Bibliography

The question for those who don't know enough to decide for themselves about this controversy is which side is the scientists, and which is the psoeudoscientists? Is this manmade Global Warming, or natural Climate Change? In order to investigate this question properly, we must ask many more questions about the nature of scientific research, and its proper relationship with political decisionmaking. Are there reliable indicators that can by applied by the outsiders to this contretemps? The following is a list of publications on this topic, sorted purely alphabetically. Can you tell which are on which side? Can you tell which are in pursuit of truth, and which make up a conspiracy to delude the public? Here is some general views of the problem. Do they make sense?
