Worth the 99 cents to explore the broad range of climate topics

I dont understand some of the previous negative reviews. There are and have always been natural cycles and components to our climate which have been well observed throughout recorded history and is well recorded in paleo history (ice cores and other geologic research). It seems reasonable too that human activity can alter climate to some degree too. What I find bizarre is that some want to focus on one to the total ignoring of the other and will cry foul when both are explored critically as this app attempts to do.

Like an earlier reviewer, I too am a research scientist. I understand that climatology is in its infancy. New frontiers in science are never settled and always full of debate over the principals of the hows and whys of what is observed. I find that "Our Climate" is a useful laymans resource to explore the broad scope of emerging science that, in the time honored tradition of competing hypotheses and, yes, even outspoken and dueling scientists, moves one closer to understanding the incredible complexity of our climate with the core issues presented on equal ground. "Our Climate" doesnt open by asserting a foregone conclusion which makes it inviting to explore the many facets of scientific investigation and public opinion. Given that the topic of climate change is so highly polarized, I am impressed that "Our Climate" navigates such turbulent waters as well as it does.

I give it only four stars because I would like to see more hyper-linking to the external references it presents but otherwise, I think it is excellent in most other respects.
