From the Paper:

"Global warming is a highly controversial subject. While the basics of the greenhouse effect are quite well understood predicting what might happen if greenhouse gases continue to be released in the atmosphere is unclear. Owing to the fact that there is no consensus over global warming among scientists it is of great importance to look at global warming from an objective point of view. This essay is based upon information given in various publications. However, most publications provide biased information."
