EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

This report will discuss the evidence for and history of global warming in the broad sense of the term. It will make the case for the claims of climate scientists, and will also discuss dissenting arguments, misconceptions about global warming and the effects of climate change on Washington state (from the impacts on the state\u2019s environment
\nto the potential repercussions on the social and economic fronts).<\/p>\n

A significant portion of the report will also detail the history of the theory, from the Irish physicist\u2019s John Tyndall\u2019s first model of the greenhouse effect to the overt politicization of the subject around the late twentieth century. This will include examination of the methods used for measuring the planet\u2019s warming phenomenon, from the increasing trends in
\nheat that has been trapped in the atmosphere to other direct effects such as the acidification of oceans and the detrimental effects on the polar ice caps.<\/p>\n
