[edit] Climate Science

In a 1988 paper, Idso offers an alternative to the widely held belief that CO₂-induced global warming is behind the planet's recovery from the global chill of the Little Ice Age.

"Since something other than atmospheric CO₂ variability was ... clearly responsible for bringing the planet into the Little Ice Age, something other than atmospheric CO₂ variability may just as well have brought the planet out of it." [2]
