| The '''global warming hypothesis''' states that emissions of ] and other so-called ]es are causing the earth's atmosphere to heat up too much (see ]). | |||
| The hypothesis is the main justification given for the ] by the latter's proponents, notably the UN General Assembly, which formed a climate panel to gather scientific evidence to support the hypothesis (see ]). | |||
| Scientific bodies throughout the world have weighed in on the issue, but have split largely on political lines. When the ] controlled the ], the latter provided great public support for the hypothesis, publicly labelling carbon dioxide a "greenhouse gas" and a "pollutant" and prominently calling for mandatory reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. | |||
| Other scientific bodies, as well as a few individual scientists and retired scientists, have pointed out what they see as serious or fatal flaws in the hypothesis (see ]), some charging the UN's climate panel with deliberately concealing these flaws (see ], ]). | |||
| The hypothesis was the subject of a lecture delivered by Dr. ], Assistant Deputy Minister, ], to ] 12th Congress, Geneva, June 16, 1995 | |||
| Ideas discussed by Dr. McBean: | |||
| *"The hypothesis that changes in concentrations of greenhouse gases, such as water vapour and carbon dioxide, could cause ]" (Tyndall, 1861) | |||
| *"a tripling of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere could increase the average air temperature of the earth by about 8-9 C ." (Arrhenius, 1896) | |||
| *"The current projections are that a doubling of CO2 or equivalent, expected before the end of the next century, would cause an average equilibrium surface warming of 1.5 to 4.5 C." (McBean, 1995) | |||
