First of all, I am already too biased in anyway, to look at those two websites. The “Friends of Science” just looks very sketchy and doesn’t try to make scientific sense, it just brings up arguments. The second website "How to talk to a Climate Skeptic" looks more logical for explaining climate change, and it is a useful website that introduces lots of news about alternative energy and green movements.
The website "Friends of Science" shows a typical view of Market Liberals. They argue that the Kyoto protocol should be re-considered because it has a negative impact on economic growth. It is an obvious fact that sun heats the earth and this energy from sun made earth an especially viable planet among countless “lifeless” planets. However, this website implicates the sun and the formation of low clouds for the main factors causing global warming. The increase of CO2 on the graph they provided in the website is somehow very different from the scientific data I had seen in other websites.
I strongly feel that GRIST (“How to talk to a Climate Skeptic”) is more convincing than “Friends of Science.” If the GRIST only insists on the climate change due to the GHGs I will not be willing to support them rationally and emotionally, but they also have good articles and messages to change our lifestyle that has induced the climate change.
