The Climate of Man

Between April and May, 2005, Elizabeth Kolbert published a series of three articles on global warming in the New Yorker Magazine that, in my fatherly opinion, should be read by every one of my children, and my oldest granddaughter, Jasmine. These are wonderful examples of the problem, beautifully portrayed. What follows are the links to these articles. Please read them and then send me your thoughts. Perhaps we could have a family discussion on the subject.

There are other references on global warming, but Elizabeth Kolbert's articles are the most cogent and elegant.
