	It's the sun
	It's not bad
	There is no consensus
	It's cooling
	Models are unreliable
	Temp record is unreliable
	Animals and plants can adapt
	It hasn't warmed since 1998
	Antarctica is gaining ice

Climate Graphics: JG Illustrations

I can't take full credit for any illustration I've contributed to SkS. Each illustration usually starts in the mind of one of our many authors, who shares the idea, sometimes a sketch. It then endures a critique, often emerging as something quite different. At various stages of this process, I jump in and start providing drafts. In this way, I've become a focal point of a lot of the contributions made on this site.

This page is our attempt to exploit the de facto focal point so as to share many of our collaborative drawings and to point back to the source article and authors.
