...attention to the conference, its failure to reach a conclusion might have a larger impact on the well-being of the average American and citizens around the world than the outcome of the legal battles in the Sunshine state. Shortly before the conference, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the most authoritative body on global warming, issued a preliminary summary of its 2000 report saying that humans "contributed substantially to the observed warming over the last 50 years."

The IPCC is a consortium of hundreds of scientists comprised of outspoken environmentalists as well as industry representatives. One of these critics of global warming is Dr. Richard S.
