The lost questions?

I post this for one reason only. We have all struggled to put into terms something to express the maelstrom of argument, debate and counter-debate that ensues whenever climate change / global warming is discussed. The sub-head and first line from this article by Philip Mote on PhysOrg.com just about sums it up perfectly.

"Public discussion over global warming is often caught in a vortex of misinformation perpetuated by extreme forces who say it’s all just a big hoax. This often causes the most relevant scientific questions to get lost."

There's also an interesting little snippet on Kilimanjaro's receding snowline - definitely not global warming - according to Mote.
