I started reading this article and couldn't get to the end. Just in the first statements, I can see many major problems.

But the most imprtant of them is writing style at the moment. The text is written as it was an essay on the author's personal opinions on climate change, not an encyclopedic article. This means statements are often about the author's sensations about some issues related to Climate change, and information about the topic can only be recovered by digging into the text a few pieces of diluted real information.

For example, it is very hard from this text to understand what Climate change is (or, is about) on the first place.

I suggest to restart from scratch and adding information piecewise. I also suggest to rely on primary sources (i.e., peer-reviewed scientific literature) instead of web pages, which are secondary sources based on papers (in the best cases) and are often badly biased. I can provide most scientific literature upon request, for study purposes.

I moved this article to user space for now because it is good work, but may be more of a CZ:Signed Articles. I'll leave that up to you guys because it can certainly be changed to meet any of several needs. --D. Matt Innis 22:18, 31 January 2008 (CST)
