May 26, 2025
The report: 2025 Overview of Climate Science and Related Topics provides references to reports for you to read so you can decide for yourself about this subject that is so important to all humanity. The literature includes:
- Those who consider man-made CO2 a terrible pollutant.
- Those who consider all CO2 the essential molecule of life.
The report is written for students, parents, grandparents and their government officials who simply want an unbiased compendium of easy to understand reports about all sides of these important issues and from authors around the world so they can decide for themselves.
The report has four sections:
1) Introduction
2) Man-made carbon dioxide from use of fossil fuels is a terrible pollutant
3) All carbon dioxide (natural and man-made) is chemically indistinguishable and the wonderful molecule of life
4) Conclusions
Sections 2) and 3) have links to all the literature.
Sections 2) and 3) are divided by continent where the author or organization is located: Africa,
Then by author name and links to some of their reports.
These reports do not have a lot of equations, chemical formulas or tables of data. Just easy to understand narratives.
If you want articles by Al Gore go to the Table of Contents: Section 2) Man-made CO2 is a pollutant, North America.
If you want to read articles by scientists in Africa who consider all carbon dioxide to be the wonderful miracle of life, go to the Table of Contents: Section 3) All CO2 is the molecule of life, Africa.
Every line item in the Table of Contents has a jump-to trigger so you jump to that item. Click on that literature reference and you will jump to that page in the report. Much faster than reading a paper copy or an electronic copy without the jump-to-trigger feature.
When you are finished reading an article, click on the jump-to-trigger “Go to Table of Contents” and you are quickly transferred back to the Table of Contents. Computers and the Internet can be wonderful!
